4. Lemon water.
Lemon water is a refreshing beverage that offers a pleasant taste. However, did you know that it’s more than just refreshing and tasty; lemon water may actually be able to help relieve aches and pains in the lower abdominal region.
Lemon juice contains natural antiviral and antibacterial properties, both of which can help to aid in digestion, thus relieve stomach issues that are associated with digestive health issues. It can also aids in hydrochloric acid production, which also improves digestion, as it helps to break down food. Plus, the beverage is hydrating, so it can help to relieve abdominal cramps, which often occur as a result of dehydration.
For maximum results, squeeze the juice of ½ fresh lemon into a glass of warm (not cold) water; however, don’t overdo it, as the acidity in lemons can lead to acid reflux – especially if you suffer from GERD.
