Drinking lemon water has an alkalizing effect on the body. Increasing body alkalinity is one of the key benefits of drinking lemon water. In addition, because of its antibacterial properties, lemon water will help control unhealthy bacteria.

Beginning the day with a glass of warm water with lemon juice squeezed into it is a healthy way to alkalise and cleanse the body, including the urinary tract. Lemon juice changes the PH of the blood and urinary tract so that the opportunistic bacteria is not able to proliferate. Using lemon juice daily may help to prevent reoccuring urinary tract infections and the acid and sugary environment that bacteria thrive in.
