Now what does ' Vitamin C ' do to the body :
It is a potent oxidant. It oxidises the by products (so called toxins) formed because of pollution, smoking, drinking, vigorous streneous exercises and changes into harmless chemicals which are flushed through the system by the kidney.
As ' Vitamin C ' is a water soluble vitamin if taken as "Lemon Water - Nimboo Pani" it has double function.
Firstly, ' Vitamin C ' detoxicates the harmful substances present in the body.
Secondly, water being the natural diuretics, flushes system clean.
Its presence improves absorption of iron from intestine and helps in storage of iron in bone-narrow, spleen, liver.
It is required for normal growth of body, in healing of wounds, bone fractures, tissue repair's etc.
It makes the skin glow as ' Vitamin C ' is necessary for maintainence of intercellular substance like COLLENGE.
It is necessary for the healthy gums and teeth.
For healthy growth of nails & hairs.
Increases resistance of the body against cold, allergy and other viral infections.

For one thing, it helps prevent food from rotting in your stomach before it's digested - especially meat. It also provides vitamins and is said by some to have antioxidant powers.

it doesn't really do any thing for you. it just gives it a "crisp taste" but to me it just tastes like the water is hard and it's tough to swallow. the lemon has certain vitamins that only lemons have so that could be what your friends are talking about....hope that helps!
good luck!
