Doctors have criticized the currently known method for promoting weight loss - a glass of warm water with lemon on an empty stomach. According to the scientific adviser to the British dental Association Professor Damien Walmsley, this drink is threatening the health of the teeth.
A glass of water with lemon the morning was transformed into a real cult - it is an indispensable attribute of any detox diet, and the stars, even Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer aniston and Claudia Schiffer strongly advertise this method, ensuring not only harmony, but also Wellness benefits. Fans of the drink claim that it cleans out toxins, stimulate digestion and liver function.
But experts warn: this method to start the day harms the teeth. Acidic environment destroys tooth enamel and causes the discoloration. "The pH level of lemon juice ranges between 2 and 3, i.e., the acidity is somewhat high. The temperature of the water only worsens the situation, speeding up the process of destruction of enamel," says the consultant to the British dental Association Professor Damien Walmsley.
The view was also expressed that the number of inhabitants of our planet who have addressed these problems to the dentist, in recent months has increased, especially among children and students, reports the Daily Mail. No less harmful to the teeth and acidic sodas, I assure dentists, and recommend them to drink through a straw or drink in one gulp, to reduce the contact time of water with harmful teeth.
