Dietitian reacts to trending lemon water drink 

Good response! I also think the main point I'm trying to convey is that "it's the dose that makes the poison," so making sure we eat things in moderation and always being mindful of what we put into our bodies

​@@Joe_LeechSo what about allergies, including histamine?

Glad you're enjoying them, thanks!

Happy to clarify!

Of course! Happy this was helpful for you

I'm sorry you're dealing with that right now! If you need any help please go here: www.dietvsdisease.org/

That's why mindful eating is so important and as I usually say "it's the dose that makes the poison"

@@Joe_Leech you are so right ✅️

yes! I have lots of blogs on gut health and so much more here: www.dietvsdisease.org/

I think it depends on how sensitive you are to the caffeine or if you're sensitive to lactose in milk. But lemon water should be fine to consume before drinking coffee, just make sure you monitor how you feel!

Best way to drink lemon water is freshly squeezed!

​@Joe_Leech Can I reach for calamansi if I don't have lemons in hand? Does it have the same effect?

That is wonderful you have been able to see improvements in the formation of kidney stones with your daughter. I'm curious what other changes have you made that you feel have made a difference?

Americans do still have access to all the same whole foods that the rest of the world does, they just also have easier access to the ultra-processed foods more than the rest of the world, too. This easy access makes it much more difficult to choose those whole, fibrous foods that are important for a balanced microbiome regularly.

@@Joe_Leech but everything organic is overpriced here so you either pay the price now or pay the price later in the hospital if you choose not to buy organic. It’s like a jungle every single time I go grocery shopping unlike my family overseas who eat like kings and eat all day and are way healthier - they don’t have to sift through a bunch of crap. They just go to the market and then go home. I have to go to like at least three grocery stores to find good prices and good produce etc … but anyways, I still standby. What I said earlier.

Thank you for sharing!
