Look, lemon water is fantastic. It’s hydrating, it’s fancy, and it makes you feel like you have your life together even if you’re wearing mismatched socks. But treat that lemon like a houseguest: it’s delightful for a few hours, but by tomorrow, you want it gone.
So slice fresh, sip quickly, and for heaven’s sake, fish out the soggy corpse of that lemon before you go to bed. Your taste buds—and your immune system—will thank you.
Now go forth, you beautiful citrus connoisseur. Drink your water. Be well. And never trust a lemon that’s been floating alone for more than a day. That’s just common sense wrapped in a sour smile.
