Lemon is one of favorite products of supporters of a healthy lifestyle, but not all people know about its dangers. Doctors have warned about the side effects of using this citrus fruit.

If you take an excessive amount of lemons, stomach pain may occur. The reason for this will be excessive acid entering the body. Lovers of this citrus often have an irritated mucous membrane of the digestive tract and do not empty their bowels completely. Citric acid can weaken the muscle that separates the stomach from the esophagus. This will lead to the production of an excessive amount of acid, resulting in damage to the esophagus.

If you regularly abuse lemons, the likelihood of stomach ulcers and kidney stones will increase. The peel contains a lot of oxalates. This substance crystallizes and is not excreted from the body. Excessive love of lemons can lead to hemochromatosis, a pathological condition associated with increased absorption of iron.

Side effects of taking lemons will be increased urination, migraines, damage to tooth enamel, caries, brittle hair and dry scalp. Doctors advised not to overdo it when adding the juice of this citrus during cosmetic masks. Otherwise, you can get a sunburn. This especially applies to people with fair skin.
