Many people enjoy starting their day right with a cup of coffee to give themselves an energy boost in the morning, with many adding lemon for additional nutrition and immune-system boost. Lemon is packed with Vitamin C and contains antioxidants which have anti-inflamatory properties; caffeine in coffee stimulates metabolism, helps reduce bloating and stimulates metabolism further still. Although drinking lemon and coffee is considered healthy in moderation, frequent ingestion could pose some potential health risks: its acidic nature may erode teeth enamel or worsen symptoms of acid reflux in certain individuals.

Lemon and coffee have gained in popularity as an aid to weight loss, with lemon adding flavour to calorie-free beverages and caffeine helping suppress appetite. But remember, weight loss requires both diet and exercise in combination, possibly with additional assistance from medical practitioners.

Lemon and coffee combined can offer many additional health advantages. It can aid digestion and promote skin health; provide antioxidant support against free radicals and inflammation; as well as increase fat oxidation, speed metabolism, and promote weight loss.

Lemon and coffee may help prevent diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels. Furthermore, their antioxidant content improves immunity against diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

While the lemon and coffee trend has gained considerable traction on social media, there is limited scientific support for its health claims. Although lemons contain plenty of vitamin C and antioxidants, there are other ways of getting these essential vitamins and minerals – eating foods rich in proteins, fibre, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals is ultimately what will ensure our best possible health and prevent disease.

If you want to give lemon and coffee a try, start by brewing your usual cup of black coffee, mixing in one tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice from fresh squeezed lemons, and sweetening as desired (with low-calorie sweeteners such as Stevia or Agave Nectar). Be sure to stir well to combine all the ingredients, then enjoy either warm or cold. You may add milk for an easier drinking experience – perfect if you are struggling with caffeine intolerance! This method may also prove helpful for people who struggle to drink regular coffee without sweeteners. Be wary when adding lemon juice directly to hot coffee as this can curdle the milk. If the taste of lemon and coffee doesn’t appeal, consider mixing it with coconut water or almond milk instead of drinking it straight on an empty stomach – though if digestive issues exist it would probably be wiser to wait an hour or two after your last meal before drinking this beverage.
