If the sour taste is strong, your body is very acidic. Keeping your dosage of lemon juice per 1 cup water consistent, a simple indicator of whether your body is more acidic or alkaline is whether lemon juice in hot or warm water tastes sour or not.

night sweats, spontaneous daytime sweats, seminal leakage, urine incontinence, bedwetting) – this is based on over 4000 years of Traditional Chinese Medicine in which each flavour in food is understood to have a therapeutic purpose, and “sour” flavoured foods are used in herbal medicine to help astringe unwanted leakage of body fluids
You may have also heard that lemon juice causes cavities. In fact, it improves plaque-stained teeth and bad breath. If so, then yes, doing so will damage the teeth’s enamel.īut drinking lemon-water does not expose the teeth for excessive amounts of time to high citrus acidic levels in the mouth, thereby causing no harm to the enamel. The answer to this lies in whether a person sucks on fresh lemons or limes all the time. You may have heard that the acidity of lemon juice reduces the healthy enamel on teeth. How does the body become acidic? Through unbalanced diets too rich in acid-producing or inflammatory foods, repressed or unexpressed negative emotions, persistent negative subconscious thought patterns, and overall wear and tear in human body functions. The only difference however, is that ingested food becomes fuel for life in its metabolized state whereas broken down tissue dies and becomes toxic waste. Similar to the food we eat, human tissue – muscles, organs, fascia, cells and blood simply break down faster in acidic conditions. But even the stomach is internally lined with special cells to prevent the acid from burning through the stomach’s layers, which is a condition otherwise known as “gastritis” or stomach ulcer.
The exception to this is the stomach, where the hydrochloric acid secreted there is intended to aid in cellular digestion of food. Why is it important for body tissue to be alkaline rather than acidic? Well, for chemistry enthusiasts, we know that in long-term acidic environments, normal cell structure and function are damaged. Inside the body however, when lemon juice has been fully metabolized and its minerals are dissociated in the bloodstream, its effect is alkalizing and therefore raises the pH of the body (pH above 7 is alkaline). Outside the body, lemon juice is acidic (pH is below 7). Let’s get this straight and expound on 10 benefits of regularly taking lemon juice with warm water (note: NOT equal to lemonade!) There is often misunderstanding of lemon’s pH outside the body versus inside the body.
