Answer 1

Lemon is a powerful cleansing and detoxing fruit. The benefits are great.  

Answer 2

You just get a small amount of vitamin C and whatever other nutrients the lemon provides, in addition to the slight flavor.

I've seen people put cucumbers, mint and oranges in water to flavor it as well.  

Answer 3

There is really no health benefit since such a small amount of fruit is being consummed. It can help mask the taste of municipal tap water. For other flavors, you can use a slice of just about any citrus fruit, apple slice, peach, pear or nectarine slice. I have also used frozen grapes and watermelon cubes for added flavor.

Answer 4

when i was a waiter they told us to put lemon in the water because the citrus in the lemon killed bacteria and it made the tap water taste better.  i don't know if it is true or not but thats why we did it.

Answer 5

stimulates your bowels to move

Answer 6

Drinking water with lemon, or drinking water with lemon juice is a great method of detoxing the body. The body reacts as if the lemon water were a light laxactive. Plus, the lemon adds the nautral flavors instead of buying a water that actually has calories, sodium, sugars, even fat. Other fruits or 'flavors' to put in your water can be squeeze oranges with grapefruit, kiwi with strawberry, green tea, watermelon can add a little sweetness, pinapple mixed with mango can add a tropical tamed tart taste. Sometimes you can even squeeze the juices out of even of these fruits and pour them into ice cubes trays that way you don't chunks left over in your water, the taste will just melt right in no mess.  

Answer 7

Well, you get the benefit of ingesting the germs and bacteria that exist on the outside of the lemon...

Answer 8

The refreshing flavor and small amount of vitamin C. Also, lemon is a diuretic (makes you pee), so it can help flush out toxins in your system. I never request lemon in my water at the restaurant anymore though because of the potential bacteria...

As in the other answers, cucumber slices is very nice; I also enjoy orange slices in my water.
