Drinking more lemonade can also help people prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases. Lemonade can alleviate the role of calcium ions in promoting blood coagulation, and can prevent and assist in the treatment of hypertension and myocardial infarction.
2. Lemon water contains a lot of citrate, which can inhibit the crystallization of calcium salt, thus preventing the formation of kidney calculi, and even reducing the number of stones in some patients with chronic kidney calculi. The research results published at the annual meeting of the American Urological Society also show that drinking lemon juice can increase the level of citrate in urine, and citrate can prevent minerals in urine from forming crystals in the kidneys, that is, kidney calculi.
3. Lemon is rich in vitamin C, which has antibacterial, immunity improving and collagen formation assisting effects. Drinking lemonade often can supplement vitamin C. Drinking 500 to 1000 ml of lemonade every day during a cold can reduce runny nose and make the cold spread rapidly. At the beginning of a cold, you may wish to wash it with lemon and honey, which can relieve sore throat and reduce discomfort such as dry throat.

The misunderstanding of drinking lemonade
1. Some people think that lemonade can't be eaten with foods with high calcium content, because calcium and citric acid will combine to precipitate and even form stones. This is a rumor.
Calcium citrate is slightly soluble in water, and its solubility is about 0.02g/ 100g water. But calcium citrate is a good material for making calcium supplement products, because it can be absorbed by human body without the help of gastric acid. In fact, citric acid does not promote kidney calculi like oxalic acid, on the contrary, it is beneficial to the absorption of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc in food. Studies have proved that citric acid is also beneficial to prevent diseases in kidney calculi, and potassium citrate is even used to treat kidney calculi.
Some people think that people with stomach problems can't drink lemonade, because lemonade is too acidic and irritates the stomach, and people with hyperacidity can't drink it. In fact, a slice of lemon is used to soak a large bottle of water. The taste of lemonade is very weak, not as sour as cola, which will not cause gastric ulcer, and it is not pure lemon juice (the pH value of pure lemon juice is about pH2.5, which is equivalent to cola).
People with hyperacidity can drink it by gently soaking lemon, and a small amount of citric acid is beneficial to the repair of gastric mucosa. Westerners like to squeeze lemon juice on food, thinking that it can help digestion. For people with indigestion, you can add a thin slice of ginger to light lemon water, which is beneficial to promote the secretion of digestive juice.
