Your body needs vitamin C to make dopamine, noradrenaline and maybe serotonin (source) – all needed for you to feel happier.
High vitamin C blood levels were shown to be inversely related to depression, anger, and confusion in young men. (source)
3. LEMON WATER IS GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN
Again, choosing vitamin C for its only nutrient is the best decision lemon ever made. Vitamin C is crucial for the making of collagen, you know the protein that’s holding your body together and keeping your skin young and fresh?… The thing that everyone’s drinking right now? That’s right, you got it!
Did you know you could produce collagen yourself? You just need to get enough vitamin C! And that works at any age, you can be over 70 and vitamin C can still work its anti-aging magic on your skin. (study) Shhhh, don’t tell anyone, it’s a well-kept secret. But yes, you can. Don’t you dare tell me you cannot! I believe in you.
Another reason why lemon water’s good for your skin, and I’m painfully repeating myself: you’re getting hydrated. The cells in your body don’t have to shrink like raisins, pour some water in them and let them get plump and juicy. This way your skin will look smooth, fresh and healthy.
4. LEMON WATER FOR MORE ENERGY
Again, let’s talk about vitamin C, because I feel like I’m not a broken enough record right now. Ascorbic acid, the good old C magic.
Turns out that humble antioxidant isn’t just required to make collagen. It’s also needed to help make carnitine, which is crucial for energy production. (source)
