When a person (Instructor) can stand in front of a class (camera) and you comprehend everything they say and you have fewer to no questions then you have done an excellent job. Thank you Dr Ekberg
0:50 For Kidney stones: Good, but it probably takes more than just squeezing a wedge of lime. 1:43 For Reducing cancer: A question mark, but lemon water is obviously not going to hurt you either. 2:50 For Heart Disease: You can't make the connection. 4:07 For Weight Loss: Doesn't have as much fiber as they claim it does. 4:43 For Anxiety and Depression: Extremely far-fetched. 7:27 Potential benefits of lemon juice: reduce anemia - improve digestion - cleanse liver - improve cholesterol - could help with weight control - CVD and stroke 7:58 Reduce anemia 9:14 Improve digestion 10:02 Cleanse liver 11:14 Improve cholesterol 11:58 Lowers weight - lowers CVD and stroke 15:26 What can you expect drinking lemon water for 30 days? 18:03 The answer 18:14 Number one reason to drink lemon water: If you enjoy it
I am alive, in my belief, because I drank lemon water for the last six years. I was dying from Cirrhosis of the liver. Doctors looked me in the eye and told me I was dying. I was put on a liver transplant list. I quit drinking alcohol and started drinking lemon water, not because I knew the benefits but because the tartness replaced the wine I quit drinking. Here it is 2023 and I am healthy. I have been able to come off the transplant list six years later. I believe wholeheartedly it was because of the lemons. I believe I might take it to exstream because I only have two cups of coffee in the morning and then switch to my lemon water. I drink a lot of it during the day and believe me it is strong.
I quit drinking about a year and a half ago I was getting severe liver pain and bloating and I've noticed just a couple weeks into drinking at least a lemon every day that the bloating goes down and I feel more energy hopefully it will heal my liver too! congratulations on saving your liver that is what I needed to hear today!
I thought Dr Berg was the best on UA-cam for keto and preventing inflammation but I'm starting to love your channel. You're very thorough and go into depth about what you explain. Much more informative than Dr Berg. Thank you Dr Sten! 🙏
@SCPython just cos hes not, doesnt mean he doesnt know a vast knowledge on various topics related to physiology and biochemistry, it’s also up to you to ascertain and get more sources the information given. Not putting any medical doctors or Dr. Eckberg down, but having a license does not mean they’re automatically legit in their knowledge.
Great video, Dr. Ekberg. That aside, I grew up in the Atlanta area, and have lived all over the country, including in most southern states. IMO, anyone that can work in the phrase “bless their heart” into a video on nutrition and medical concepts… deserves a tip! Well played, Sir. Well played. 😁
Thank You @hobysmith9825 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I started drinking lemon water for a month, ( that was 4 months ago) quit junk food at the same time, any, any soft drinks. Just replaced them with lemon water. In a month I lost 5 kg. then I maintain it. I feel more energetic too.
@@Miiivideo Just brew your own tea and keep a pitcher in the refrigerator. I prefer a mix of green and decaf black tea when I brew and then add lemon juice to it. No sweetener.
At home my parents would always give me a glass of lemon water before having breakfast. Lost the habit once I started living alone. But now I see everyone doing it! I'm just so grateful for the way the raised me!
Well Dr. Ekberg, been studying your videos for a few years now and consider myself qualified to accurately state that you are a true gift to humanity, don't stop doing what you do, we all need you now more than ever even if many don't realize it.Thanks a bunch for the positive benefits to my health,,,you most certainly DO make a huge difference!!!!!
Dr. Sten, I got my blood test and was just getting to pre diabetes among other things. Had pretty much a crap diet. 65, 5'8" 205lb (used to work out a lot so had some muscle in there). I immediately changed my diet. NO sugar, no fake stuff, no Steva, none. No carbs (other than trace amounts). No bread, pasta etc. I do 24 hour daily fasting. I eat once a day no snacks. Grass fed only butter, beef, eggs etc. Green leafy vegs and fish. Only real virgin olive oil with apple cider vinegar etc. AND the juice on 1 LEMON everyday in a glass of room temp water. I've lost 33 lbs in 7 weeks feel great. Looking forward to my next blood work in 30 days. Thanks for clearing up the myths!
My grandmother drank lemon water with meals every day (She had a lemon tree in her backyard). I picked up the habit from her and added Apple Cider Vinegar in the evening! Grandma was right!
When I use lemons I use the whole lemon. I place lemons in a high power blender with a little water and blend until a liquid is formed. I then freeze in a ice cube tray. I add one cube to hot water with a green tea bag and enjoy.
@@bonnieupton4114 Yes, you can eat the rind. Although I’d stick to organically grown lemons, if possible. The zest (outermost coloured part) has quite an intense flavour. The white of the rind is often quite sweet.
I recently subscribed to your channel after my wife and I began a high protein, low carb, no sugar diet two months ago. Your point about one healthy lifestyle change -such as drinking water with lemon - leading to another is spot on. Since starting our diet we have lost our craving for sugar, ramped up the frequency of our workouts and increased our craving for dietary knowledge.... thus prompting us to begin watching your videos. Although we were not in poor health to start with as measured by our blood tests, we have each lost about 10 pounds or approximately one pound per week. So we feel better and look better. It surer would be good if the information you share could be the basis of mandatory classes taught to school children, and form the basis of conversations we all have with our physicians. Why is it that never in my life have I had a doctor say to me, "You stepped on our scale and your weight is XX pounds more than the ideal for a man of your body type, height and age. Since body weight is the number one indicator as to whether you are treating your body in a healthy manner, we are going to discuss how you are going to achieve your appropriate weight and stay there before your next annual physical. After this we will determine whether any other health concerns you have require medication." A conversation such as this would actually be health care, instead of symptom treatment. In any event, your presentations are educational, humorous and motivating. Keep up the great work!
@@dakotahays2836 Beginning 50 years ago, I became aware of that! Since then I have found articles on rockefeller and how his point in building hospitals and hiring doctors was to build wealth. He wanted to turn his oil profits into pills. So now I hear holistic doctors saying that all pills hurt the kidneys and liver. YET even Dr. Ekberg will say we might need to take our medications, which means to me that he is catering to those allopathic doctors who make lots of money from pills. Sometimes Ekberg says words that tell me that he might be catering to someone else's ideas. He says our bodies are exceptional machines able to heal themselves. I have read this in many books and learned to heal myself really fast several years ago. He needs to stay committed to these words.
I have T2 diabetes and have been drinking warm water and lemon juice now for about a month and the difference it has made to my health is amazing . It has been a few years that I have not been able to take a deep breath without having a coughing fit and now I find I can breath deep without discomfort ,and there are other things that have cleared aswell ,so I will definitely continue drinking the lemon water 😊
@@skyeblue5669 not at all ,I did with the Metformin I have watch what time take it ,at the moment I have taken myself of it because it has me house bound because of the diarrhea. But it seems the lemon water is the job ,I wouldn't recommend that people should stop their meds .
Sounds like people look for easy fixes,we don't wanna do the work. I love the way this Dr takes the time to explain the real truth about these claims and myths. Thanx for all your videos, I find them most helpful and informative. Huge Fan.
Sir I used to drink lemon water for the last ten year I have best experience and I never eat lunch and dinner without lemon after all drink juice. so I always told all the people who are family, friends, old, young everyone about the benefits of lemon to daily use. Thank you sir your video again encourage my ten years experienced. In this video all your explanation is hundred percent correct about lemon water.
I drink lemon water throughout the day. I cut a lemon or lime into a spiral, put it in my (huge) water glass and just keep filling it up. I drink about 5 huge glasses throughout the day. I believe it helps for GERD. I'm mightily pleased to learn about the other benefits!
I blend a whole lemon, peal and all with water and ACV, and some other stuff everyday. (Cinnamon, Pink Salt, Turmeric, Cayenne Pepper for a kick.) The peal has a lot of vitamin C and Fiber.
Putting sliced lemon in water will not give you the most benefit, blending the whole lemon as the peel and pith has a lot of nutrients, it taste horrible but has a lot of benefits, just add a bit of honey.
Drinking lemon water is really the key for "Health is Wealth" Thank you so much Dr Ekberg for sharing this video. As a cancer survivor and refused to chemotherapy because of a bad experience from the first treatment, "i do juicing"and drink fresh juice everyday by ❤️❤️❤️ More fruits and vegetables, leafy greens. no meat no alcohol. I started a channel just to share the food i ate . The healthy lifestyle is the key to health is Wealth.❤
I had problem with my stomach and gallbladder for years. Doctors prescribed pantaprazol and fetomidine. But few months back Started taking every morning one glass of warm water and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (fresh one) . I am of the meds completely.
After focusing on eating ketovore and making sure I was getting enough potassium, magnesium, and sodium, for two months, my night time leg cramps/pain persisted. I then read that low c can cause this problem too. I started with a half squeezed lemon water twice a day and it's working! It only took two days to notice a huge reduction in the nighttime "problem". I'm over a week in now and it's holding. Note: many suggest using a straw and to rinse with water after drinking the lemon water, to protect tooth enamel.
I'm 37. 6'4". 198lbs usually. I'm starting to get arthritic. I'm in the middle of a 72 hour fast, and drinking lemon water with electrolytes added. I feel great. In 36 hours I'm down to 193lbs. My mind is clearing up. My joints still ache but are improving some.
Where to you get your arthritis? And do you have a diagnosis of the type /cause? You and I are very similar in age and size, and for me it's gout arthritis from elevated uric acid. I typically get it in my big toe or along the bottom of my foot. When it gets worse, it hits my ankle. Hurts like crazy man, I randomly wake up with the kind of pain like I'm an And1 Mix Tape star with a high ankle sprain.
When I was 22 I developed joint pain. It was really affecting me. I was thin and otherwise healthy and athletic, but it was settling into my wrist, which made it hard to do my college schoolwork. I did a three day juice fast doing mainly fresh squeezed lemon juice and fresh apple juice. All of my symptoms went away and I feel like a new person! I was also tested and found to be allergic to wheat. That is often a cause of inflammation, which is what I was experiencing.
Every day we make an elixir with olive oil cayenne pepper honey and the juice of a lemon ,not to throw the squeezed lemon away I just cut it up and stuff it in a 500ml bottle of water then let it brew for a couple hours then sip it through the day and night lovely😊
I drink lemon water every day. A good bit. I use an organic bottled pure lemon juice. I only drink water, brewed coffee and brewed tea (with no milk or sweeteners). In fact, I don't use sugar or honey, or any other sweetener, at all. I am pescatarian, but will occasionally eat meat when I am out. Most days I eat vegetarian. I also cut out all wheat and other gluten containing foods. I sometimes eat lentils. I also eat no processed foods. I lost weight (from 200lbs to 155lbs). I didn't track how long it took me. I was not long, though. I do not follow the intermittent fasting, but only eat two meals a day and one snack (usually feta cheese and olives). I don't eat the snack every day. As a result, my blood pressure is down, my joints don't crack and my poops are good. This has lasted about six years now. I am in my late 60s and my body is back to where I was in my late 20s. I did all this before discovering your channel. I like the detailed information you give, and it helps me pick foods that contribute to my well being. Thanks.
I stopped eating gluten, coffee and sugar, not to lose weight, but I was getting sick, with headaches, eye pain, liver pain and joint pain. No doctor found anything, I did several tests and I ended up discovering that gluten was the cause. The pain went away without eating gluten, I got better... But I also discovered that my B12 and vitamin D levels were very low, I had to study them on the Internet, the doctors didn't say anything about it. If these two levels are low, we are at high risk of serious illnesses.
I find it fascinating how many people are compelled to write their entire dietary claims and effects as if anyone could take it as fact and care. Can you imagine the amount of potential untrue things and ways those can be portrayed these days? Just wait till people start believing in the holograms they see as real
I've been drinking lemon water and adding lemon juice to about any savory dish, so it was nice to hear that it helps the body. I have shared before about the dramatic weight loss. I am now down to 308.2 lbs, from my starting point at the beginning of 2022 of 392.2 lbs. Almost halfway to my goal of 200 lbs (108 to go). I credit the info your videos provide. Thanks Doc & may you be blessed with Excellent Health.
@@MrCamel-mb3nd My post did NOT claim drinking lemon water was respomsible for my weight loss. It has been the combination of lifestyle/diet changes. You do understand that a new paragraph signals a new thought (topic) right? I find it remarkable that, knowing nothing about me, you think yourself qualified to correct me on something you Inferred from my comment. 🙄
I took to drinking lemon water (about half a cup in a one litre bottle remainder filled with water) almost exclusively everyday because of kidney stones. One thing I discovered is that dental plaqueing totally disappeared. I should note that I am using bottled lemon juice concentrate such as Real Lemon.
I'm 78, was just diagnosed with Fatty Liver, and will be starting the lemon water tomorrow. I do not have any soda, no 'fast food' and use vodka when making sauces and marinate cranberries, prunes, dates, walnuts, raisins, etc in spiced rum for baking. I also love lemon and lime and will be increasing my intake. We'll see what the 1st of May brings.
Beside putting lemon in everything my sister father in low is a Christian and believe in divine healing too.He was also praying to God for healing. And God healed him .Thank God !
I love lemons and limes - they have been part of my life and diet since I was a small toddler / used to eat while lemons and limes straight raw as a kid! Maybe that’s why I had so much acidity when a kid haha ! Jk but I love lemons and limes always loved them! They add great freshness and taste and fragrance to foods and also enhances your food feelings and mood- as citrus smell is so divine- always a mood enhancer - feel good 👍 fragrance for me - love limes n lemons in all my daily diet - ❤️👍🤗🙏😘
I used to start the day with warm lemon water. Helped with the mindset to be more conscience of what I was eating. Did lose weight. Thanks for the reminder and reinspiring me to go back to this daily habit. I do drink a pitcher of unsweet iced tea with only lemon every day.
I had 3 separate kidney stone attacks in a 6-month period (each VERY painful). I had changed my diet as recommended by urologist but continued to have attacks. CT scan showed more small stones and one large stone still in the kidney. The last time I went to the urologist, I was seen by the "old" (near retirement) practitioner that told me to put a squirt of lemon juice in my water every time I drank water. Since I travel a lot, carrying liquid lemon juice with me was impractical. I found some lemon crystal packets (available from Amazon) and put a packet of granules in each of my drinks. I did that for 3 months. The week following the third month, I passed 2 small stones. The next week after that, I passed 2 more stones. The third week after, I passed a large stone (all of these were painless passings). I keep lemon crystals with me no matter where I go and will continue to use them for the rest of my life (I am 72).
Cut out oxalates from diet and guess what? No Kidney stones. You may dump another one as the body flushes oxalate after you quit eating them, then it’s home free. No more.
I’ve been drinking lemon 🍋 water almost daily for a few years now. It hasn’t done much to lower my cholesterol but still great for you and some other ailments. 👍🏻
I drink lemon water, it’s refreshing after my daily walk in the morning. I add lemons to my salads. We have a beautiful lemon tree. Thank you for your videos! 😊🍋
I liked the clip and reasoning. However, I am of different opinion about its impact on blood suger. It is not just stabilizing but lowering blood suger as i noticed when wearing the continuous glucose monitor. The reduction was quite pronounced but only when there were no interfering variables. Nevertheless, i started to drink the lime juice just because of that, i do it twice daily, a juice of one lime with about 250 gr carbonated water or plain water when fasting.
@@kristinabruk8422 I have been drinking black tea/green tea/herbal tea/water constantly for many years, they dont make a difference either with or without lemon added. But lime juice does, probably lemon juice as well. It is interesting that initially it was very sour, I had to dilute it quite a bit. Now I have noticed I am adding less water and also drink it kind of recreationally, i.e. without special effort, simply to accompany meal sometimes. Anyway, I had very serious Covid condition and I had been given a huge amount of some hormones in hospital which totally wrecked my blood sugar. And then they started to inject insulin for both long and short term variety. Sorry, I am not a doctor to remember all the labels. Anyway, I was assured I need to continue this forever when discharged but I did not agree. Initially yes, but about 6 months later I stopped taking Prednisolon and then stopped injecting myself, going for a fast instead (I have been doing this for some 20 years pretty regularly). Now I am two months drugs free and quite happy with myself. Some part of it, I trust, is also because drinking lime juice, though of course regular exercise, low carbs diet, intermittent fasting etc all play a role.
@@ivartallo3788 that’s amazing! What an intelligent approach, so happy for you being in charge of your health this way. Very interesting with regards to lime juice, especially compared to lemons. What kind do you use? Have you tested limes?
I used to drink gatorade zero (with sucralose) after working out, I knew it wasn't good for me, so I switched it for lemon water with salt, I love the flavor and I think it really helps me to recover but also the salt helps, I do the lemon mostly for the flavor and because it's low carb but if I get any additional benefit I welcome it, although I don't expect it to be a magical elixir.. 😜
Aside from the quality of the content, the new structure of presentation shows that Dr. Sten Ekberg also puts a lot of thoughts into improving things for his viewers. Thanks a million 🤸🏽♀️🎉🏋🏼♀️🤼
From my experience, eat healthy (vegetables with some quality meat, fruits, nuts etc.), do intermittent fasting (find which one works for you, 16-8 shouldn't be too hard for anyone and do some workouts or walks or any physical activity at least 2-3 times a week). Experiment a bit with nutrition, find what works for You.
Seems like a logical, REALISTIC type eating program one could do for years and years without spending 24/7 worrying about all the new health claims and "superfoods". Although I personally go a bit heavier on the meat but its all good.
Hop works for me to just 2 months drinking every morning 1 glass of lemon water, all I saw I am not hungry for Breakfast 🍳 hoping morel benefit like you
It's absolutely true. I lost 44 pounds in 8 weeks. I dropped the sodas, sugar, dairy, seed oils and grains. I havent felt or thought better in many years. And yes there's still many food and drink choices but you must read and reread the ingredients to know what your concuming.
Thanks for another great video Dr. Ekberg. I have lost over 70 pounds in the last year on keto/intermittent fasting that YOU got me started on. My wife has lost over 60 in the same period. I would be careful, I just looked up lemons and the first one I came to said each lemon had 20 total carbs with a net of 10 carbs. I see varying opinions on whether to have less than 20 total carbs or net carbs per day on keto, but, that would limit you to a maximum of 2 lemons per day best case. Edit: forgot to thank Dr. Ekberg.
Excellent point. Those with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and/or high insulin resistance may need to keep their carbs as low as absolutely possible. In such cases ACV may be a good alternative.
I have T2 diabetes and do low carb + I F 18/6. 10 days into lemon water "tonic" first thing and I feel great! You don't need much (1/4 to 1/3 lemon) is plenty to change the PH balance & tune up the liver..
Wonderful presentation. Love the way you explain what happens behind the scenes incase of every type of food. We always have some kind of acid along with our food example in south Indian dishes tamrind is used while in the North Indian ones lemons or tomatoes are used. Drinking lemon water the whole day is good but one has to be careful about ones teeth too due to acidity.
I drink lemon water everyday too...but the main reason I lost my belly fat was because I cut out all sugar and carbs and added fermented foods into my diet...I now snack on fermented califlower and y health has improved improved 100% ..thank you for clearing up how the body works...love your videos.
I started drinking lemon water Monday during my first 36-hr fast and loved it! I put the juice from 1/2 a lemon in a large glass of ice-cold water. It will help me drink less iced tea at the very least.
Love your channel Dr Stan, but as a professional inorganic chemist and chemical crystallographer (I have worked with two Nobel laureates at MIT) I want to clarify that citrate doesn't 'bind oxalates', rather it is an alternative ligand to bind calcium. It helps against build up of kidney stones by lowering the amount of unbound Ca2+ ions, that might otherwise bind to oxalate. Such Ca-oxalate complex could then add to existing Ca-oxalate crystals in the kidney increasing stone size. BTW once stones have precipitated, they will be practically impossible to re-dissolve away, best you can do is slow their growth and lemon water may help with this.
I have been drinking lemon water with honey added for 5 year now - minimun 30mins before breakfast and my life have never been the same - no longer get sick, digestion better, blood flows better, kidney cleansed, cholesterol far better
Thanks, doc! I appreciate the advice and the common sense that your channels provide me and many others. It's a breath of fresh air in a foggy miasma of misinformation and bad content on YT! Intermittent fasting is something that I've heard of but never practiced. I've always craved a late-night snack mere hours before sleeping. The snack of choice was typically buttered popcorn or chips with a carbonated sugar-free soda while watching a movie. Sometimes it was milk and cookies or ice cream. I never thought twice about it in my 74 years! That's also why I became 40 pounds overweight and a T2 diabetic with high blood pressure! Six weeks ago, I started a Keto diet. After restricting carbs, I honestly don't find it hard to resist eating four or five hours before I go to sleep. I don't even think about it now as not snacking has become a habit. I admit to cheating once in a while, though, I'm only human. But, the late-nightly craving to eat something is gone.
Doesn't matter how disciplined I am Luke clockwork always before bed get hungry want sthing sweet or satisfying Think my blood sugar drops Need t get a monitor Years ago went on a strict diet, lost 30lbs, n a ton of inches but again like clockwork use t go t bed like I was starving Tday 06 23, I will eat lil sthing just t keep my stomach from not torturing me😮
Love your videos; I have been drinking about 12 ounces of lemon water every morning as I shower and dress for work....feel very energized and great throughout the day
I’m drinking warm lemon water with honey 1st thing after I woke up.. I can’t say every morning because my sleeping habit is different everyday.. I squeeze half of lemon to a mug, pour hot water in it then I’m adding a teaspoon of an organic honey.. it energized me all day all night and I don’t even feel hungry, most importantly it has cured my acid reflux. I only get acid reflux from drinking coffee, eating fresh onion, foods which contained tomato paste and tomato sauce.. but I never get acid reflux from eating fresh tomatoes. So I am avoiding those foods that gives me acid reflux.
When you mix garlic and ginger and cinnamon stick and boil it and then add fresh lemon juice, it feels wonderful. Mostly I drink it without honey or other sweetener, but sonetimes I add some honey. I have not had flue in decades.
Just a comment about potassium. I just recently had a panic attack and it kicked me into atrial fibrillation for the first time in my life. The blood test in the hospital said my potassium was 2.5, so it definitely happens. I also drink an entire lemon every day. I didn't think this was a lot. I like the bite of the lemon juice. I usually have a whole lemon 1:1 with water. Great video as always. Love your work.
@@rajbirsingh1230 it's always blood test. As a hospital RN, rarely is low potassium present without a contributing factor ranging from severe diarrhea to medication effects.
@@dkhnguess I wake up, grab a lemon, juice it into a 425 ml glass, then top it up with water and drink it. Then I do other stuff for a while then I have breakfast half an hour to an hour later. They say it helps digest fats and I generally have eggs and a few veges for breakfast. Sometimes bacon. I know if I stop with the lemon then after a while I feel my lip go a bit funny which tells me my immune system isn't running properly.
@@rajbirsingh1230 The A-fib was an ECG in emergency. Three follow up ECG's since then show I'm still in A-fib. Not fun. Waiting on a space in hospital for a cardiac reversion.
Unfortunately I went in the opposite direction. I was going to the gym everyday, was drinking lemon water every morning, drank lots of water the rest of the day. At healthy, absolutely no junk food……..then my husband became terminally I’ll, died two and a half years later. My life as I knew it came to an end. Not enough money to live on so I found a job, no time left for the gym, between my work and two days caring for my grandchild ( which brings me immense joy), no motivation to live as healthy as before, especially when the care of my aging parents also fell on my shoulders. I guess I was mentally broken! Suddenly I had gained 10 kgs even though I wasn’t eating more food! Now I’m in the process of healing again, slowly step by step but I found my motivation coming back. The lemon water is a good a thing as any to pick up, as it’s easy. I also found in the past that when drinking lemon water I was never plagued by heartburn ( a stomach condition, that has nothing to do with your heart) and that as soon as I skipped the lemon water my stomach ailments would start bothering me again. It sounds like a contradiction to drink something acidic when you have too much acid in your stomach but it works for me!
I’ve dranken lemon juice (sqeesed lemon or half a lemon +water in the class) for years first in the morning. Also, I really use it after drinking wine or if I feel bad in my guts. It always helps. I use it also when I feel that I’ve got cold. Then I mix it with hot water. It is really helpful. But I do not have fatty liver. Whenever I feel getting fat, I go buy lemons. 😁
I use lemon and lime slices in a gallon jar, refrigerate, and keep cold. I started using it as electrolyte enhanced water. Now I can't do without! As an outdoor worker, this is imperative I have electrolyte.
I started drinking warm lemon water with honey and a bit of acv. Three times a week. As I had stomach upset with having it daily. To date. My stomach is less bloated. Skins clearer. No colds or sore throats. It's winter here. Don't forget to use a straw. As it's . not good for the teeth. Too acidic. Even though it turns alkaline in the body. I'm Loving it 🍋🍋🍋💛

I've been juicing a fresh lemon is a Gallon of filtered water for about a year and I HAVEN'T noticed any improvements to my health. But I am healthy to begin with. I just like the taste.
@@drekberg thanks as always for the video and education. You saved my life. UA-cam suggested you to me two Septembers ago and my goodness how I have lost weight and changed n my vitals are in the right place. Thank you very much. Please i wanted to know, can I drink lemon in warm water during my fasting period.
Another awesome video Dr. Ekberg. Thanks. I’m on IF 16:8 and a Ketogenic diet. Works really well for me. I have got back to optimum weight and feel a lot more healthy. I am lucky to have a lemon tree in the back garden. I cut up the whole lemon and mix it in the blender. Skin, pith and all. Do you think that this breaks my fasting period? Cheers. Ben, Perth.

Hi Doctor. I've been drinking the strained juice of one unwaxed lemon every morning for the last 4 or 5 weeks but I never know what volume of water I should be taking it in, so I just use about one small cup of water every early morning an hour or so before breakfast. How much water is best for the pure juice of one lemon?
This could be a game changer for me, because the things lemon DOES do, are what I'm interested in. I stopped drinking completely over two weeks ago, as part of making changes to seek health without drugs for things like blood pressure, cholesterol, whatever. My doctor said I don't need meds but that I was heading that way soon, that startled me. So I'm doing all kinds of good things and making progress, but I'm gonna add this! Carefully and in moderation.
I eat a lemon a day as i have read that it will breakdown uric acid ... i sometimes get gout in my toes. But even if that is false, there are several benefits to eating lemons. Dr. Sten; Tusen takk. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you.
Question: Around the 11:30 mark you talk about how lemon water helps stimulate the gallbladder, which helps the body process cholesterol. So, any recommendations for those who have had their gallbladder removed?
Thank you Dr Ekberg! I love your channel, can you please make a follow up video to your “toxic gall bladder signs” video with one that explains what we can do to optimize it and clean it out? Thank you so much!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg! I really appreciate all that you are doing for this community😊. Is it ok to drink lemon water during Intermittent Fasting? Do you have a video on what we can drink during our Fasting Window? And what supplements we can take and when, while we are IF?🙏🙏💕
I have been drinking home made tea without sugar. It has been a blessing, there are also plenty of varieties, many times I opt for some without caffeine... Linden or chamomile. Sometimes I drink green tea during the day if needed instead of coffee. I don't drink coffee
I add 1 tbsp. lemon juice to every cup of my water and tea always for a couple of years now. Never did any vaccination against cold or virus before Covid and never had those deasises . I don't use any common pills and pain killers. Think that lemon is a great benefit to my simple food and also no meat in my diet for a big part of my long life. The positive attitude toward life is very important too. Thanks doktor for a scientific inlight my intuitive insights.
I love lemons. I work a pretty tough job, lots of cardio & moving & lifting, most of the day. I'll eat a lemon after dinner sometimes to help my body heal.
Yes! I filled a pitcher with cold water, cut up a lemon into slices and put them in the pitcher and now I enjoy drinking water much more than before! When the pitcher empties, before I refill it, I take the lemons out and add the fruit in my banana & blueberry smoothies, and slice a new lemon into the pitcher with new water! The best thing about the lemon water is that I enjoy it and prefer it over my former favorite drink, cream soda!
So true about unintentionally combining methods for better health when you try one new thing. The purpose of that one new thing sets you up for seeking more ways to, for instance, lose weight, or improve energy, or reduce pain. There is more than one way 🙂
I have experience with Kindy stones and lemons. Whenever I feel even minor/major pains from kidney stones, I drink 1-2 lemons with a very small amount of water, and it work wonders, the pain is gone.
I have always drank water with a squeeze of lemon in it, I love the way it tastes!! No sweetneers, ick! I eat my first meal at 1:00….around 11:00 I drink a cup of chicken broth with a scoop of collagen in it and a squeeze of lemon…DELISH!!
Dear Sten: I have been following your UA-cam videos for a few weeks now and I am surely going to continue as you make me understand many of my health issues. However, please, please, please DO NOT have your videos translated into Polish. The AI translations are just hopeless. I enjoy watching the original English versions + Polish subtitles as your voice + intonation are so genuine and convincing. People from all over the world can benefit twice: 1. Your gifted way of delivering the topics ( you make a great TEACHER) 2. Practising English as a FL is an extra benefit. As a teacher and translator of English I could not recommend them more. I have been using parts of your original videos for my classes (I teach practicak English to medical students.Keep up your wonderful activity and do not deprive students of the pleasure of watching the originals.

Hi Dr. Eckberg, I do love your videos, and this is another amazing and informative one. I have been drinking every single day 1litr of lemon water for nearly a month and I can say it does work. Thank you.

Just discovered this channel recently and already in love with it. I always want to know not only what thing does or doesn't, but also how exactly it does something. P.s. I love lemons too! I think any dish or drink is better with lemon! :)
I’ve been drinking lemon water as my main source of hydration for three years. Typically I drink the equivalent of two lemons or more a day just because I prefer it over well or city water.
I drink lemon water every day. I also use it for baking and cooking. I've always wondered if heating lemon juice would destroy nutrients and health benefits???

I am alive, in my belief, because I drank lemon water for the last six years. I was dying from Cirrhosis of the liver. Doctors looked me in the eye and told me I was dying. I was put on a liver transplant list. I quit drinking alcohol and started drinking lemon water, not because I knew the benefits but because the tartness replaced the wine I quit drinking. Here it is 2023 and I am healthy. I have been able to come off the transplant list six years later. I believe wholeheartedly it was because of the lemons. I believe I might take it to exstream because I only have two cups of coffee in the morning and then switch to my lemon water. I drink a lot of it during the day and believe me it is strong.
I quit drinking about a year and a half ago I was getting severe liver pain and bloating and I've noticed just a couple weeks into drinking at least a lemon every day that the bloating goes down and I feel more energy hopefully it will heal my liver too! congratulations on saving your liver that is what I needed to hear today!
Я в восторге от вашей истории. Тоже начну пить лимонную воду! 😊
That is absolutely amazing!!!! Congrats and thanks for sharing your story!!!! ❤
Seriously… ITS BECAUSE YOU QUIT DRINKING ALCOHOL.
I thought Dr Berg was the best on UA-cam for keto and preventing inflammation but I'm starting to love your channel. You're very thorough and go into depth about what you explain. Much more informative than Dr Berg. Thank you Dr Sten! 🙏
Plus, Dr. Ekberg isn’t a Scientologist, (as far as I know).
I use to watch Br Eric Berg, but stop watching him a long time ago because I question some of the things this say.
True.
@SCPython just cos hes not, doesnt mean he doesnt know a vast knowledge on various topics related to physiology and biochemistry, it’s also up to you to ascertain and get more sources the information given. Not putting any medical doctors or Dr. Eckberg down, but having a license does not mean they’re automatically legit in their knowledge.
Where’s the list folks ?
Great video, Dr. Ekberg. That aside, I grew up in the Atlanta area, and have lived all over the country, including in most southern states. IMO, anyone that can work in the phrase “bless their heart” into a video on nutrition and medical concepts… deserves a tip! Well played, Sir. Well played. 😁

BRAVO Desislava!!!!!
Lemon juice in warm water gives me a lot of energy after drinking it in the morning on empty stomach.
Cold or lukewarm water. Hot lemon water less nutritious
I tried to so so for 3 to 4 days but because of the acidity in the lemon water my teeth were having a peculiar effect of friction. So I stopped it.

Dr. Sten, I got my blood test and was just getting to pre diabetes among other things. Had pretty much a crap diet. 65, 5'8" 205lb (used to work out a lot so had some muscle in there). I immediately changed my diet. NO sugar, no fake stuff, no Steva, none. No carbs (other than trace amounts). No bread, pasta etc. I do 24 hour daily fasting. I eat once a day no snacks. Grass fed only butter, beef, eggs etc. Green leafy vegs and fish. Only real virgin olive oil with apple cider vinegar etc. AND the juice on 1 LEMON everyday in a glass of room temp water. I've lost 33 lbs in 7 weeks feel great. Looking forward to my next blood work in 30 days. Thanks for clearing up the myths!
Don’t be discouraged if your A1C doesn’t go down much. That takes months and months! Keep us posted!

When I use lemons I use the whole lemon. I place lemons in a high power blender with a little water and blend until a liquid is formed. I then freeze in a ice cube tray. I add one cube to hot water with a green tea bag and enjoy.
We can eat the peal?
Yummmmy❤😊
The peel is packed w vitamins
@@bonnieupton4114 Yes, you can eat the rind. Although I’d stick to organically grown lemons, if possible. The zest (outermost coloured part) has quite an intense flavour. The white of the rind is often quite sweet.
I recently subscribed to your channel after my wife and I began a high protein, low carb, no sugar diet two months ago. Your point about one healthy lifestyle change -such as drinking water with lemon - leading to another is spot on. Since starting our diet we have lost our craving for sugar, ramped up the frequency of our workouts and increased our craving for dietary knowledge.... thus prompting us to begin watching your videos. Although we were not in poor health to start with as measured by our blood tests, we have each lost about 10 pounds or approximately one pound per week. So we feel better and look better. It surer would be good if the information you share could be the basis of mandatory classes taught to school children, and form the basis of conversations we all have with our physicians. Why is it that never in my life have I had a doctor say to me, "You stepped on our scale and your weight is XX pounds more than the ideal for a man of your body type, height and age. Since body weight is the number one indicator as to whether you are treating your body in a healthy manner, we are going to discuss how you are going to achieve your appropriate weight and stay there before your next annual physical. After this we will determine whether any other health concerns you have require medication." A conversation such as this would actually be health care, instead of symptom treatment. In any event, your presentations are educational, humorous and motivating. Keep up the great work!
🤣🤣 The deathcare system would make no $ if their goal was to keep you healthy. Their goal is customers from birth to death.
@@dakotahays2836 Beginning 50 years ago, I became aware of that! Since then I have found articles on rockefeller and how his point in building hospitals and hiring doctors was to build wealth. He wanted to turn his oil profits into pills. So now I hear holistic doctors saying that all pills hurt the kidneys and liver. YET even Dr. Ekberg will say we might need to take our medications, which means to me that he is catering to those allopathic doctors who make lots of money from pills.
Sometimes Ekberg says words that tell me that he might be catering to someone else's ideas. He says our bodies are exceptional machines able to heal themselves. I have read this in many books and learned to heal myself really fast several years ago. He needs to stay committed to these words.
I have T2 diabetes and have been drinking warm water and lemon juice now for about a month and the difference it has made to my health is amazing . It has been a few years that I have not been able to take a deep breath without having a coughing fit and now I find I can breath deep without discomfort ,and there are other things that have cleared aswell ,so I will definitely continue drinking the lemon water 😊

Sir I used to drink lemon water for the last ten year I have best experience and I never eat lunch and dinner without lemon after all drink juice. so I always told all the people who are family, friends, old, young everyone about the benefits of lemon to daily use. Thank you sir your video again encourage my ten years experienced. In this video all your explanation is hundred percent correct about lemon water.
I drink lemon water throughout the day. I cut a lemon or lime into a spiral, put it in my (huge) water glass and just keep filling it up. I drink about 5 huge glasses throughout the day. I believe it helps for GERD. I'm mightily pleased to learn about the other benefits!
I blend a whole lemon, peal and all with water and ACV, and some other stuff everyday. (Cinnamon, Pink Salt, Turmeric, Cayenne Pepper for a kick.) The peal has a lot of vitamin C and Fiber.
Makes my GERD worse, i've tried it.
Putting sliced lemon in water will not give you the most benefit, blending the whole lemon as the peel and pith has a lot of nutrients, it taste horrible but has a lot of benefits, just add a bit of honey.
@@outofcompliance1639 I do half lemon usually, but yeah keeping the peel and all is key.
I can only do a quarter at best, but for my gut issues it's awful and makes things so much worse

I had problem with my stomach and gallbladder for years. Doctors prescribed pantaprazol and fetomidine. But few months back Started taking every morning one glass of warm water and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (fresh one) . I am of the meds completely.
After focusing on eating ketovore and making sure I was getting enough potassium, magnesium, and sodium, for two months, my night time leg cramps/pain persisted. I then read that low c can cause this problem too. I started with a half squeezed lemon water twice a day and it's working! It only took two days to notice a huge reduction in the nighttime "problem". I'm over a week in now and it's holding. Note: many suggest using a straw and to rinse with water after drinking the lemon water, to protect tooth enamel.
That’s correct. My dental hygienist noticed my enamel was wearing and asked for f I drank lemon water, which I did all day!
Ketovore Was my favorite Pokémon as a kid 👍🏾

I'm 37. 6'4". 198lbs usually. I'm starting to get arthritic. I'm in the middle of a 72 hour fast, and drinking lemon water with electrolytes added. I feel great. In 36 hours I'm down to 193lbs. My mind is clearing up. My joints still ache but are improving some.
Where to you get your arthritis? And do you have a diagnosis of the type /cause? You and I are very similar in age and size, and for me it's gout arthritis from elevated uric acid. I typically get it in my big toe or along the bottom of my foot. When it gets worse, it hits my ankle. Hurts like crazy man, I randomly wake up with the kind of pain like I'm an And1 Mix Tape star with a high ankle sprain.
@decanuck my aches with arthritis usually focus in my knees and lower back.
Try taking turmeric with circumin, it’s helped me with inflammation in my joints, mainly my knees
Sounds like you might want to check for inflammation. Foods that cause that are wheat, carbs, sugar, breads, cereal, pasta,etc..
When I was 22 I developed joint pain. It was really affecting me. I was thin and otherwise healthy and athletic, but it was settling into my wrist, which made it hard to do my college schoolwork. I did a three day juice fast doing mainly fresh squeezed lemon juice and fresh apple juice. All of my symptoms went away and I feel like a new person! I was also tested and found to be allergic to wheat. That is often a cause of inflammation, which is what I was experiencing.
Every day we make an elixir with olive oil cayenne pepper honey and the juice of a lemon ,not to throw the squeezed lemon away I just cut it up and stuff it in a 500ml bottle of water then let it brew for a couple hours then sip it through the day and night lovely😊
I drink lemon water every day. A good bit. I use an organic bottled pure lemon juice. I only drink water, brewed coffee and brewed tea (with no milk or sweeteners). In fact, I don't use sugar or honey, or any other sweetener, at all. I am pescatarian, but will occasionally eat meat when I am out. Most days I eat vegetarian. I also cut out all wheat and other gluten containing foods. I sometimes eat lentils. I also eat no processed foods. I lost weight (from 200lbs to 155lbs). I didn't track how long it took me. I was not long, though. I do not follow the intermittent fasting, but only eat two meals a day and one snack (usually feta cheese and olives). I don't eat the snack every day. As a result, my blood pressure is down, my joints don't crack and my poops are good. This has lasted about six years now. I am in my late 60s and my body is back to where I was in my late 20s.
I did all this before discovering your channel. I like the detailed information you give, and it helps me pick foods that contribute to my well being. Thanks.
Your story and food choices are similar to mine. 😊
~ 🦋
I stopped eating gluten, coffee and sugar, not to lose weight, but I was getting sick, with headaches, eye pain, liver pain and joint pain.
No doctor found anything, I did several tests and I ended up discovering that gluten was the cause.
The pain went away without eating gluten, I got better...
But I also discovered that my B12 and vitamin D levels were very low, I had to study them on the Internet, the doctors didn't say anything about it.
If these two levels are low, we are at high risk of serious illnesses.
I find it fascinating how many people are compelled to write their entire dietary claims and effects as if anyone could take it as fact and care. Can you imagine the amount of potential untrue things and ways those can be portrayed these days? Just wait till people start believing in the holograms they see as real
You are 60. Your bones need meat and calcium!

Good job! Way to go! We all can benefit from your strength, discipline. and goal setting.
I took to drinking lemon water (about half a cup in a one litre bottle remainder filled with water) almost exclusively everyday because of kidney stones. One thing I discovered is that dental plaqueing totally disappeared. I should note that I am using bottled lemon juice concentrate such as Real Lemon.
I'm 78, was just diagnosed with Fatty Liver, and will be starting the lemon water tomorrow.
I do not have any soda, no 'fast food' and use vodka when making sauces and marinate
cranberries, prunes, dates, walnuts, raisins, etc in spiced rum for baking.
I also love lemon and lime and will be increasing my intake.
We'll see what the 1st of May brings.

I love lemons and limes - they have been part of my life and diet since I was a small toddler / used to eat while lemons and limes straight raw as a kid! Maybe that’s why I had so much acidity when a kid haha ! Jk but I love lemons and limes always loved them! They add great freshness and taste and fragrance to foods and also enhances your food feelings and mood- as citrus smell is so divine- always a mood enhancer - feel good 👍 fragrance for me - love limes n lemons in all my daily diet - ❤️👍🤗🙏😘
But do you love lemons and limes?
I used to start the day with warm lemon water. Helped with the mindset to be more conscience of what I was eating. Did lose weight. Thanks for the reminder and reinspiring me to go back to this daily habit. I do drink a pitcher of unsweet iced tea with only lemon every day.
So good for older people who may lack stomach acid. Thank your for Fridays Sten and team.
I had 3 separate kidney stone attacks in a 6-month period (each VERY painful). I had changed my diet as recommended by urologist but continued to have attacks. CT scan showed more small stones and one large stone still in the kidney. The last time I went to the urologist, I was seen by the "old" (near retirement) practitioner that told me to put a squirt of lemon juice in my water every time I drank water. Since I travel a lot, carrying liquid lemon juice with me was impractical. I found some lemon crystal packets (available from Amazon) and put a packet of granules in each of my drinks. I did that for 3 months. The week following the third month, I passed 2 small stones. The next week after that, I passed 2 more stones. The third week after, I passed a large stone (all of these were painless passings). I keep lemon crystals with me no matter where I go and will continue to use them for the rest of my life (I am 72).
i use those lemon crystals in iced tea. every day. have not had a kindney stone. tho, I admit, i eat very little food with oxalates and calcium
Obrigado quero saber mais Gratidão ❤❤❤❤
What brand do you use?
@@nancywolf3786 What brand do you use?
Cut out oxalates from diet and guess what? No Kidney stones. You may dump another one as the body flushes oxalate after you quit eating them, then it’s home free. No more.
I’ve been drinking lemon 🍋 water almost daily for a few years now. It hasn’t done much to lower my cholesterol but still great for you and some other ailments. 👍🏻
I drink lemon water, it’s refreshing after my daily walk in the morning. I add lemons to my salads. We have a beautiful lemon tree. Thank you for your videos! 😊🍋
I liked the clip and reasoning. However, I am of different opinion about its impact on blood suger. It is not just stabilizing but lowering blood suger as i noticed when wearing the continuous glucose monitor. The reduction was quite pronounced but only when there were no interfering variables. Nevertheless, i started to drink the lime juice just because of that, i do it twice daily, a juice of one lime with about 250 gr carbonated water or plain water when fasting.
Have you tested plain water vs lime juice? Wonder if it’s the water that lowers the blood sugar 🤔
@@kristinabruk8422 I have been drinking black tea/green tea/herbal tea/water constantly for many years, they dont make a difference either with or without lemon added. But lime juice does, probably lemon juice as well. It is interesting that initially it was very sour, I had to dilute it quite a bit. Now I have noticed I am adding less water and also drink it kind of recreationally, i.e. without special effort, simply to accompany meal sometimes. Anyway, I had very serious Covid condition and I had been given a huge amount of some hormones in hospital which totally wrecked my blood sugar. And then they started to inject insulin for both long and short term variety. Sorry, I am not a doctor to remember all the labels. Anyway, I was assured I need to continue this forever when discharged but I did not agree. Initially yes, but about 6 months later I stopped taking Prednisolon and then stopped injecting myself, going for a fast instead (I have been doing this for some 20 years pretty regularly). Now I am two months drugs free and quite happy with myself. Some part of it, I trust, is also because drinking lime juice, though of course regular exercise, low carbs diet, intermittent fasting etc all play a role.
@@ivartallo3788 that’s amazing! What an intelligent approach, so happy for you being in charge of your health this way. Very interesting with regards to lime juice, especially compared to lemons. What kind do you use? Have you tested limes?

I used to drink gatorade zero (with sucralose) after working out, I knew it wasn't good for me, so I switched it for lemon water with salt, I love the flavor and I think it really helps me to recover but also the salt helps, I do the lemon mostly for the flavor and because it's low carb but if I get any additional benefit I welcome it, although I don't expect it to be a magical elixir.. 😜
I tried the Salt and lemon water and it reminded me of tomatoes.
I am on the lemon recovery! Fell so much better, I feel cleansed!
brah man said he stopped eating after 5pm, ate better, and worked out more and give lemon water 98% of the credit! I love it!
The lemon water would have also suppress his appetite. So it's a good thing.
The fasting and exercising is 99% of the fat loss alone
Lime work too ?
Right? 😂
Thoroughly enjoy your videos, so indepth and well explained. I feel like I'm watching a health lecture every time.
Aside from the quality of the content, the new structure of presentation shows that Dr. Sten Ekberg also puts a lot of thoughts into improving things for his viewers. Thanks a million 🤸🏽♀️🎉🏋🏼♀️🤼
From my experience, eat healthy (vegetables with some quality meat, fruits, nuts etc.), do intermittent fasting (find which one works for you, 16-8 shouldn't be too hard for anyone and do some workouts or walks or any physical activity at least 2-3 times a week). Experiment a bit with nutrition, find what works for You.
Seems like a logical, REALISTIC type eating program one could do for years and years without spending 24/7 worrying about all the new health claims and "superfoods". Although I personally go a bit heavier on the meat but its all good.
Can you water fast while drinking lemon water?
Love this doc. He is very thorough and explains it slowly so we understand. I've been drinking lemon water for years and I see many benefits.
Hop works for me to just 2 months drinking every morning 1 glass of lemon water, all I saw I am not hungry for Breakfast 🍳 hoping morel benefit like you
It's absolutely true. I lost 44 pounds in 8 weeks. I dropped the sodas, sugar, dairy, seed oils and grains. I havent felt or thought better in many years. And yes there's still many food and drink choices but you must read and reread the ingredients to know what your concuming.
I take lemon juice and apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons a day every morning!!😊🙏👍
Thanks for another great video Dr. Ekberg. I have lost over 70 pounds in the last year on keto/intermittent fasting that YOU got me started on. My wife has lost over 60 in the same period. I would be careful, I just looked up lemons and the first one I came to said each lemon had 20 total carbs with a net of 10 carbs. I see varying opinions on whether to have less than 20 total carbs or net carbs per day on keto, but, that would limit you to a maximum of 2 lemons per day best case. Edit: forgot to thank Dr. Ekberg.
Excellent point. Those with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and/or high insulin resistance may need to keep their carbs as low as absolutely possible. In such cases ACV may be a good alternative.
I have T2 diabetes and do low carb + I F 18/6. 10 days into lemon water "tonic" first thing and I feel great! You don't need much (1/4 to 1/3 lemon) is plenty to change the PH balance & tune up the liver..
Como relatei nos comentários, fiz a cura através do limão e não senti alteração e foram 90 limões ingeridos em pouco tempo.
Wonderful presentation. Love the way you explain what happens behind the scenes incase of every type of food.
We always have some kind of acid along with our food example in south Indian dishes tamrind is used while in the North Indian ones lemons or tomatoes are used.
Drinking lemon water the whole day is good but one has to be careful about ones teeth too due to acidity.
I drink lemon water everyday too...but the main reason I lost my belly fat was because I cut out all sugar and carbs and added fermented foods into my diet...I now snack on fermented califlower and y health has improved improved 100% ..thank you for clearing up how the body works...love your videos.

I started drinking lemon water Monday during my first 36-hr fast and loved it! I put the juice from 1/2 a lemon in a large glass of ice-cold water. It will help me drink less iced tea at the very least.
Lemon+apple-cider-vinegar+electrolyte powder!!! Best combo!
Love your channel Dr Stan, but as a professional inorganic chemist and chemical crystallographer (I have worked with two Nobel laureates at MIT) I want to clarify that citrate doesn't 'bind oxalates', rather it is an alternative ligand to bind calcium. It helps against build up of kidney stones by lowering the amount of unbound Ca2+ ions, that might otherwise bind to oxalate. Such Ca-oxalate complex could then add to existing Ca-oxalate crystals in the kidney increasing stone size. BTW once stones have precipitated, they will be practically impossible to re-dissolve away, best you can do is slow their growth and lemon water may help with this.
I have been drinking lemon water with honey added for 5 year now - minimun 30mins before breakfast and my life have never been the same - no longer get sick, digestion better, blood flows better, kidney cleansed, cholesterol far better
I prefer to drink lemon water without adding honey or sugar.
What do you mean by "cholesterol better"? As it now established that high cholesterol is better in terms of mortality than low.
Cholesterol is our friend, there is no need to demonize cholesterol.
@@garyfinch1840 , good for you if you decided to raised yours so high!
How much lemon to a glass of water..??
Thanks, doc! I appreciate the advice and the common sense that your channels provide me and many others. It's a breath of fresh air in a foggy miasma of misinformation and bad content on YT!
Intermittent fasting is something that I've heard of but never practiced. I've always craved a late-night snack mere hours before sleeping. The snack of choice was typically buttered popcorn or chips with a carbonated sugar-free soda while watching a movie. Sometimes it was milk and cookies or ice cream.
I never thought twice about it in my 74 years! That's also why I became 40 pounds overweight and a T2 diabetic with high blood pressure!
Six weeks ago, I started a Keto diet. After restricting carbs, I honestly don't find it hard to resist eating four or five hours before I go to sleep. I don't even think about it now as not snacking has become a habit. I admit to cheating once in a while, though, I'm only human. But, the late-nightly craving to eat something is gone.
I like milk mixed with orange soda ... taste like a creamsicle.
Doesn't matter how disciplined I am
Luke clockwork always before bed get hungry want sthing sweet or satisfying
Think my blood sugar drops
Need t get a monitor
Years ago went on a strict diet, lost 30lbs, n a ton of inches but again like clockwork use t go t bed like I was starving
Tday 06 23, I will eat lil sthing just t keep my stomach from not torturing me😮

Love your videos; I have been drinking about 12 ounces of lemon water every morning as I shower and dress for work....feel very energized and great throughout the day
I’m drinking warm lemon water with honey 1st thing after I woke up.. I can’t say every morning because my sleeping habit is different everyday.. I squeeze half of lemon to a mug, pour hot water in it then I’m adding a teaspoon of an organic honey.. it energized me all day all night and I don’t even feel hungry, most importantly it has cured my acid reflux. I only get acid reflux from drinking coffee, eating fresh onion, foods which contained tomato paste and tomato sauce.. but I never get acid reflux from eating fresh tomatoes. So I am avoiding those foods that gives me acid reflux.
That’s great, add ginger too.
When you mix garlic and ginger and cinnamon stick and boil it and then add fresh lemon juice, it feels wonderful. Mostly I drink it without honey or other sweetener, but sonetimes I add some honey. I have not had flue in decades.
Add turmeric and pepper throw in some cloves I always have it made up in fridge
I substitute the garlic for apple cider vinegar.
Honey = table sugar. Spikes your glucose and making you insulin resistant
I haven't tried that drink and I've never had flu (or any flu vaccination) in my life (+65 years)
Just a comment about potassium. I just recently had a panic attack and it kicked me into atrial fibrillation for the first time in my life. The blood test in the hospital said my potassium was 2.5, so it definitely happens.
I also drink an entire lemon every day. I didn't think this was a lot. I like the bite of the lemon juice. I usually have a whole lemon 1:1 with water.
Great video as always. Love your work.
How was it diagnosef
@@rajbirsingh1230 it's always blood test. As a hospital RN, rarely is low potassium present without a contributing factor ranging from severe diarrhea to medication effects.
Do you squeeze a whole lemon to a 16 oz glass of water or to a 8 or 10 oz? Do you drink it in the morning or throughout the day? Thank you ☺️
@@dkhnguess I wake up, grab a lemon, juice it into a 425 ml glass, then top it up with water and drink it. Then I do other stuff for a while then I have breakfast half an hour to an hour later. They say it helps digest fats and I generally have eggs and a few veges for breakfast. Sometimes bacon. I know if I stop with the lemon then after a while I feel my lip go a bit funny which tells me my immune system isn't running properly.
@@rajbirsingh1230 The A-fib was an ECG in emergency. Three follow up ECG's since then show I'm still in A-fib. Not fun. Waiting on a space in hospital for a cardiac reversion.
Unfortunately I went in the opposite direction. I was going to the gym everyday, was drinking lemon water every morning, drank lots of water the rest of the day. At healthy, absolutely no junk food……..then my husband became terminally I’ll, died two and a half years later. My life as I knew it came to an end. Not enough money to live on so I found a job, no time left for the gym, between my work and two days caring for my grandchild ( which brings me immense joy), no motivation to live as healthy as before, especially when the care of my aging parents also fell on my shoulders. I guess I was mentally broken! Suddenly I had gained 10 kgs even though I wasn’t eating more food!
Now I’m in the process of healing again, slowly step by step but I found my motivation coming back. The lemon water is a good a thing as any to pick up, as it’s easy.
I also found in the past that when drinking lemon water I was never plagued by heartburn ( a stomach condition, that has nothing to do with your heart) and that as soon as I skipped the lemon water my stomach ailments would start bothering me again. It sounds like a contradiction to drink something acidic when you have too much acid in your stomach but it works for me!
I’ve dranken lemon juice (sqeesed lemon or half a lemon +water in the class) for years first in the morning. Also, I really use it after drinking wine or if I feel bad in my guts. It always helps. I use it also when I feel that I’ve got cold. Then I mix it with hot water. It is really helpful. But I do not have fatty liver. Whenever I feel getting fat, I go buy lemons. 😁
🙄
Dranken?
Drink drank drunk. English 101
Drunk, dude. :)
I use half a lemon in hot water in morning. During the day I drink lemon water and add a little cider vinegar. Very tasty.
I use lemon and lime slices in a gallon jar, refrigerate, and keep cold. I started using it as electrolyte enhanced water. Now I can't do without! As an outdoor worker, this is imperative I have electrolyte.
Ive been drinking lime water daily for 10 years. I juice a whole lime into water. I find it refreshing.
I started drinking warm lemon water with honey and a bit of acv. Three times a week. As I had stomach upset with having it daily. To date. My stomach is less bloated. Skins clearer. No colds or sore throats. It's winter here. Don't forget to use a straw. As it's . not good for the teeth. Too acidic. Even though it turns alkaline in the body. I'm Loving it 🍋🍋🍋💛
Thanks!

I've been juicing a fresh lemon is a Gallon of filtered water for about a year and I HAVEN'T noticed any improvements to my health. But I am healthy to begin with. I just like the taste.
I love videos made by doctors! Thank you, Dr. Ekberg! 👏🏾
Thank You Gail Becker. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
@@drekberg You are so very welcome, doctor. Please continue making videos, we love them.
@@drekberg thanks as always for the video and education. You saved my life. UA-cam suggested you to me two Septembers ago and my goodness how I have lost weight and changed n my vitals are in the right place. Thank you very much. Please i wanted to know, can I drink lemon in warm water during my fasting period.
Another awesome video Dr. Ekberg. Thanks. I’m on IF 16:8 and a Ketogenic diet. Works really well for me. I have got back to optimum weight and feel a lot more healthy. I am lucky to have a lemon tree in the back garden. I cut up the whole lemon and mix it in the blender. Skin, pith and all. Do you think that this breaks my fasting period? Cheers. Ben, Perth.

I appreciate your scientific approach. Covered all the angles too. Thanks Dr!
Hi Doctor. I've been drinking the strained juice of one unwaxed lemon every morning for the last 4 or 5 weeks but I never know what volume of water I should be taking it in, so I just use about one small cup of water every early morning an hour or so before breakfast. How much water is best for the pure juice of one lemon?
This could be a game changer for me, because the things lemon DOES do, are what I'm interested in. I stopped drinking completely over two weeks ago, as part of making changes to seek health without drugs for things like blood pressure, cholesterol, whatever. My doctor said I don't need meds but that I was heading that way soon, that startled me. So I'm doing all kinds of good things and making progress, but I'm gonna add this! Carefully and in moderation.
Hi Dr. Ekberg! I usually drink lemon water throughout the day. My question is does lemon water break intermittent fasting?
That is my question as well.
I adore lemon water. I buy lemons and ginger every week. I let my hot water cool down a little and add both. Or just the lemon …
I put a whole lemon in my blender with ice cubes with a pinch of Stevia. Scrumptious and loaded with fiber when you consume the entire lemon.
you better buy organic lemons if you are doing that...
I eat a lemon a day as i have read that it will breakdown uric acid ... i sometimes get gout in my toes. But even if that is false, there are several benefits to eating lemons. Dr. Sten; Tusen takk. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you.
Question: Around the 11:30 mark you talk about how lemon water helps stimulate the gallbladder, which helps the body process cholesterol. So, any recommendations for those who have had their gallbladder removed?
Stephen Russel that’s not true nothing can help if you have no Gallbile anymore,lemon is cold energy in TMC and makes you spleen I’ll 🤢🤢😢😢🤷♀️🤷♀️
Thank you Dr. I drink a warm glass of water with lemon each morning. I am glad to learn from you the benefits for doing this.
Thank you Dr Ekberg! I love your channel, can you please make a follow up video to your “toxic gall bladder signs” video with one that explains what we can do to optimize it and clean it out? Thank you so much!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg! I really appreciate all that you are doing for this community😊. Is it ok to drink lemon water during Intermittent Fasting? Do you have a video on what we can drink during our Fasting Window? And what supplements we can take and when, while we are IF?🙏🙏💕
I have been drinking home made tea without sugar. It has been a blessing, there are also plenty of varieties, many times I opt for some without caffeine... Linden or chamomile. Sometimes I drink green tea during the day if needed instead of coffee. I don't drink coffee
I add 1 tbsp. lemon juice to every cup of my water and tea always for a couple of years now. Never did any vaccination against cold or virus before Covid and never had those deasises . I don't use any common pills and pain killers. Think that lemon is a great benefit to my simple food and also no meat in my diet for a big part of my long life. The positive attitude toward life is very important too. Thanks doktor for a scientific inlight my intuitive insights.
Thank you so much for putting claims into perspective. You are so knowledgeable, and I really love listening to your videos.
I eat Lemons to thwart imminent gout attacks. Not sure how it works, but very happy with no attacks for the past 1.5 years...
It’s fascinating!!! Thanks so much for making such a high quality video.❤️
I love lemons. I work a pretty tough job, lots of cardio & moving & lifting, most of the day.
I'll eat a lemon after dinner sometimes to help my body heal.
Yes! I filled a pitcher with cold water, cut up a lemon into slices and put them in the pitcher and now I enjoy drinking water much more than before! When the pitcher empties, before I refill it, I take the lemons out and add the fruit in my banana & blueberry smoothies, and slice a new lemon into the pitcher with new water! The best thing about the lemon water is that I enjoy it and prefer it over my former favorite drink, cream soda!
So true about unintentionally combining methods for better health when you try one new thing. The purpose of that one new thing sets you up for seeking more ways to, for instance, lose weight, or improve energy, or reduce pain. There is more than one way 🙂
I have experience with Kindy stones and lemons. Whenever I feel even minor/major pains from kidney stones, I drink 1-2 lemons with a very small amount of water, and it work wonders, the pain is gone.
Kindy stone 🪨
Do you pass the stone out of the kidney or urether? What's the size of your stone?
I have always drank water with a squeeze of lemon in it, I love the way it tastes!! No sweetneers, ick!
I eat my first meal at 1:00….around 11:00 I drink a cup of chicken broth with a scoop of collagen in it and a squeeze of lemon…DELISH!!
Dear Sten: I have been following your UA-cam videos for a few weeks now and I am surely going to continue as you make me understand many of my health issues. However, please, please, please DO NOT have your videos translated into Polish. The AI translations are just hopeless. I enjoy watching the original English versions + Polish subtitles as your voice + intonation are so genuine and convincing. People from all over the world can benefit twice: 1. Your gifted way of delivering the topics ( you make a great TEACHER) 2. Practising English as a FL is an extra benefit. As a teacher and translator of English I could not recommend them more. I have been using parts of your original videos for my classes (I teach practicak English to medical students.Keep up your wonderful activity and do not deprive students of the pleasure of watching the originals.

Hi Dr. Eckberg, I do love your videos, and this is another amazing and informative one. I have been drinking every single day 1litr of lemon water for nearly a month and I can say it does work. Thank you.
May I ask you how it has helped you? Anything specific? Thanks
How do you feel?? What does it do??
@@dellchica2373 I feel more vitality, more flexible, I jump out of the bed, like a 15-year old boy, but besides that I don't eat junk, crap food, I do workout. I am 51.
@@Rachel-yc5hplovesIsrael It doesn't really do any magical thing, besides I lost weight, but I also drink every morning a mixture of Syrian virgin olive oil with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
@@dellchica2373 you will lose weight but after a certain period of time, 2-3 weeks you shouldn't eat junk food.
Just discovered this channel recently and already in love with it. I always want to know not only what thing does or doesn't, but also how exactly it does something. P.s. I love lemons too! I think any dish or drink is better with lemon! :)
I’ve been drinking lemon water as my main source of hydration for three years. Typically I drink the equivalent of two lemons or more a day just because I prefer it over well or city water.
I drink lemon water every day. I also use it for baking and cooking. I've always wondered if heating lemon juice would destroy nutrients and health benefits???
