Drinking lemon water every morning
Tons of Pinterest posts tout the "benefits" of lemon water — from detoxing to weight loss to "balancing" your body's pH levels. The only problem is that lemon water can't do most of these things.
It can't detox you: your liver and kidneys do that. It can't balance pH, either: The foods we eat have only a "brief and minimal" impact on our pH levels, according to Harvard Medical School's Dr. Anthony Komaroff. As for claims that it'll boost your metabolism and weight loss, nutrition pros agree that lemon water is really no better than regular water.
It also has one known downside. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), frequent exposure to citrus foods can wear down your tooth enamel over time, leading to decay.
