    Although there is citric acid in lemon water, it is completely metabolized in the body to generate carbon dioxide and water. As carbon dioxide is exhaled, the acidity will also be eliminated, and the calcium and potassium ions in lemon are left in the form of metal ions. These The combination of ions and acid ions can reduce the acidity of urine, so lemon is instead an alkaline food. This is particularly important for many patients with ventilation and hyperuricemia, which can reduce the risk of ventilating attacks.
