Lemon is believed to contain calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, bioflavonoids, pectin, and limonene (ingredients that can increase immunity and fight infection). When drunk warm (half a lemon mixed with a glass of warm water), the beneficial ingredients in lemon are more easily absorbed by the body and provide optimal benefits.
