5 side effects of eating and drinking too much lemon

Stomach problems

We have heard many times that drinking lemon water with honey on an empty stomach can aid in digestion. However, too much lemon juice can upset the stomach as well as slow down the digestive process and cause stomach upset.

Dehydration

When you drink lemon water, it flushes toxins out of the body. However, did you know that drinking too much lemon can enlarge your bladder, causing excessive urination that can leave you exhausted.

Tooth wear

Lemon juice is highly acidic and when you drink too much lemon juice, it can cause a sensitive sensation on your teeth. This can further cause tooth decay over time. Tooth wear is essentially the loss of tooth mineralization. So, when you have tooth sensitivity, you must start to reduce your intake of citric foods like lemons.

Dry skin

This fruit is known to be the cause of your dry skin and it is for that reason that people with oily skin are recommended to use it. However, if you have dry skin and continue to drink lemon water regularly, it will make your body drier, leading to flaky and dry skin.

Not good for hair

Did you know that using lemon juice directly on your hair can make your hair dry and gray? The acid in lemons can make your hair look bad when you’re trying to untangle it. Many people use this remedy to get rid of dandruff.
