I think it's cleansing. I used to get frequent UTI's and was told to drink it and it helps.

One of the best things about it, is it creates an alkaline situation in your body even though it is acidic going in. You want to be more alkaline than acidic.

UTI= Urinary Tract infection. It's rare for men to suffer from UTIs unless they are STDs (Sexual transmitted diseases).

Glad to know my lemon water is good for more than me just enjoying the flavor!! :D

Lemons are some of the most alkalinizing foods on the planet. It really is a miracle food. As snoop mentions the lemon is acidic, but becomes alkaline in the body. Hence, that's why it is a prime ingredient in a lot of cleanses, master cleanse, etc. It's a super liver cleanser too...there are too many benefits to list.

if you're feeling it, go for it. it means your body must need this juice you're craving on some level. just my take.

Urinary Tract Infection. Men can get them too, but women are more at risk.
Lemon water is excellent. My colds and sinus vanished when I started drinking it regularly. I don't know why though because there are other things that have more vit. C.
