What do you drink first thing in the morning? If it doesn't involve water and a lemon you might be missing out on some pretty fantastic benefits for your health. "Drinking water with lemon anytime of the day can help you get and keep better health," registered dietitian Ashley Koff, RD, told INSIDER.

你在早晨想到的第一件事是什么？如果沒想到水和檸檬，那么你可能錯過了一些非常神奇的健康益處。"任何時候喝檸檬水都能讓你更健康，"注冊營養師阿什利·科夫對INSIDER雜志說道。

Water is helpful because it brings nutrients into the cells and it also helps remove waste products from the body. Koff explained that adding lemon (juice) will make the water more "alkaline-forming." This can be helpful for the digestive tract because it creates a nicer home for good bacteria.

水有益人體健康，因為水能將營養物質帶入細胞，而且還能幫助身體排出廢棄物。科夫解釋道，加檸檬（汁）能讓水變得更加"堿性。"由于檸檬水為有益細菌創造了更好的環境，因此能為消化道帶來益處。

"The lemon triggers the release of sodium bicarb (alkaline part) into the small intestine, and this can help relieve indigestion," said Koff. Stephanie Ferrari, RDN, told INSIDER there's no reason not to drink lemon water. "It helps keep you hydrated and thus improves muscle function and digestion. It may also aid in weight loss."

"檸檬引發碳酸氫鈉（堿性部分）釋放到小腸，從而有助于緩解消化不良。"科夫說道。注冊膳食營養師史蒂芬妮·費拉里對INSIDER雜志說道，沒有不喝檸檬水的理由。"檸檬水有助于你保持水分、改善肌肉功能、促進消化。而且或能幫助減肥。"

She explained that the bitter flavor of the lemon is thought to increase bile production and flow.

她解釋，人們認為檸檬的苦味能增加膽汁的分泌和流動。

既然任何時間段喝檸檬水都能為身體帶來益處，那為何又要強調早上喝呢？"早晨喝檸檬水帶來的益處可能與喝水的關系較大，與檸檬本身的關系較小，"注冊營養師、減肥專家保羅·索爾特對INSIDER雜志說道。
