Traditional Chinese medicine believes that lemon has the effect of "generating body fluid and quenching thirst, harmonizing stomach qi and reducing nausea, transforming phlegm and stopping cough." When the stomach qi is disharmonious or when one feels nauseous and doesn't want to eat, eating a little lemon can help alleviate these symptoms. For beauty-conscious women, it is first and foremost an extremely effective weight-loss food.

The lemons sold in supermarkets look very inviting with their bright yellow color, but many people don't know how to consume them properly. Eating them directly tastes both sour and bitter; also, unlike in foreign countries where people often eat steak or roasted meat and can occasionally sprinkle some lemon juice on them, there are other ways. In fact, you can buy them, slice them up, and steep them in water for drinking. This not only allows for full absorption of its nutrients but also has a certain weight-reducing effect.

Studies show that lemons are fruits with extremely high nutritional and medicinal values. Their main nutritional components, aside from carbohydrates, include calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, niacin, and more. The reason why they taste more sour and bitter than other citrus fruits is due to their high content of organic acids at 6.4%, which is over ten times higher than in oranges and tangerines.

In addition, they are rich in flavonoids, essential oils, hesperidin, and other nutritious substances.

However, those with excessive stomach acid should avoid consuming it.
