5. Using Boiling Water
Hot lemon water sounds cozy, but boiling water destroys vitamin C. A 2018 study showed high temperatures reduce vitamin C by 60%. Lisa switched to warm water (below 140°F) and noticed better results. Love your hot drinks? The next error might be in your kitchen.
4. Overlooking Water Quality
Tap water with chlorine or impurities can clash with lemon’s benefits. A 2022 water quality study found filtered water enhances nutrient absorption. Mark invested in a basic water filter and saw clearer skin. Is your water holding you back? The next mistake is a quantity trap.
3. Drinking Too Much Lemon Water
More isn’t better. Excessive lemon water (over 32 ounces daily) can lead to acid overload, causing heartburn or kidney strain. A 2020 health study reported 15% of heavy users had digestive issues. Stick to 8-16 ounces daily. Think you can handle more? The next one’s a dental disaster.
2. Not Rinsing Your Mouth After Drinking
Lemon water’s acidity lingers, softening enamel. Lisa’s dentist warned her about brushing too soon, which can worsen damage. Rinse with plain water after drinking and wait 30 minutes before brushing, per dental advice. Protecting your teeth yet? The final mistake is a game-changer.
