New Delhi, Jul 14: Warm lemon water in the morning has become a timeless ritual for many health-conscious individuals. Though not a miracle cure for weight loss, it can be a valuable addition to a balanced lifestyle, says renowned holistic health coach Luke Coutinho.

In a recent Instagram post, Coutinho clarified that while warm lemon water alone doesn’t melt fat, it can support weight management when combined with proper diet, regular exercise, and mental well-being.

“Lemon water is not a fat-burning drink,” he said. “Fat burn is about your lifestyle, how you keep your hormones in balance, the quality of your sleep, mental and emotional health, and your nutrition.”

Coutinho emphasized the multiple benefits of lemons—especially their rich vitamin C content, which supports the immune system, enhances iron absorption, and improves skin and hair health. He added that the pectin fibre in lemons can help curb appetite, leading to better portion control.

“Lemon’s citric acid helps improve bile flow, aiding fat digestion and metabolism,” he noted. However, he warned that those with arthritis or joint pain should avoid lemons, as they may worsen symptoms.

Some of the additional benefits of warm lemon water include:

• Boosted Immunity: Vitamin C strengthens the body’s defence against infections.
• Improved Hydration: Starting the day with lemon water replenishes fluids and energizes the system.
• Better Skin Health: Antioxidants in lemons help collagen production and protect against environmental damage.

While lemon water is refreshing and digestion-friendly, Coutinho stressed that sustainable fat loss depends on holistic health practices—not quick fixes.

So, if you’re sipping that warm lemon water every morning, enjoy its many benefits—but remember, true wellness goes far beyond a single drink.
