But is it any good for us?

The old saying goes, “if life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. But maybe we should be making lemon water instead?

Loved by celebrities the world over, lemon water (literally just a glass of water with fresh lemon squeezed into it) is a popular health drink hailed for its alleged weight loss properties. You can have it hot like Jennifer Aniston, with probiotics like Naomi Campbell or invest heavily in it like Beyoncé.

Whatever you choose to do with it, there are some surprising health benefits to drinking it, and some things to bear in mind.
