Drink a glass of water with a squeeze of fresh lemon in the morning, says Dietrich Grönemeyer. Lemon is acidic, but works against hyperacidity in the body.

Vitamin C calms the walls of the arteries, which in turn prevents vascular calcification. This means a lower risk of suffering a heart attack, according to the doctor. But as with everything, lemon water should be enjoyed in moderation. Experts warn that the acid in the fruit can attack tooth enamel.. Lemon juice in a diet helped reduce participants' body fat, insulin resistance and the risk of cardiovascular disease. In another study, lemon juice found a significant decrease in uric acid levels - which helps against urinary stones. However, there is no panacea for good health. A combination of different factors is crucial. Experts recommend a balanced diet, physical activity, little stress and enough sleep. Social aspects should not be ignored either. Positive relationships make us happier, healthier and allow us to live longer.
