Kathmandu. Some people like to drink hot tea as soon as they wake up in the morning. Some people start their day with lemon water. They believe that drinking lemon water regularly on an empty stomach will reduce body weight.

It is also believed that the body will be detoxified and the digestive system will be better. But health experts say that lemon water may not be equally beneficial for everyone.

Citric acid is found in sufficient amount in lemons. Therefore, excessive consumption or regular consumption on an empty stomach may cause health problems in some people.

Acidity and heartburn problems

Drinking lemon water on an empty stomach can increase acidity in the stomach, so it can be uncomfortable for people who have problems with acidity, gas and heartburn. Especially people with acid reflux or GERD should be careful as drinking lemon water on an empty stomach can aggravate the symptoms.
