The combination of coffee and lemon hasn’t been studied in any meaningful way, so nutritionists can’t say it offers any significant health benefits. However, it doesn’t come with many risks either.
“If you happen to enjoy the taste or find it refreshing, there’s no harm in trying it out,” says Scott.
However, if you do decide to drink coffee with lemon juice in it, it’s important to manage your expectations. While drinking coffee with lemon may have some potential health benefits, remember that there’s no magic bullet for health, says Scott.
A balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep are some of the most important factors for maintaining overall health and achieving health goals such as weight loss and diabetes prevention, Scott explains. Drinking coffee with lemon in it can be just one part of a healthy lifestyle.
