🍋 Lime juice
Lime juice is the liquid extracted from limes, a citrus fruit known for its sour taste and refreshing flavor.
🧪 What it contains

💪 Health benefits

💧 3. Hydration support

- Helps people drink more fluids
🧠 4. Antioxidant support

⚖️ Weight & “flat stomach” claims
- Lime water is very low calorie
- May help reduce bloating when replacing sugary drinks
- ❌ It does NOT burn fat directly
⚠️ Things to be careful about

🟢 Bottom line
Lime juice is a refreshing, vitamin C–rich drink that supports hydration and digestion, but it is not a weight-loss or “detox” cure on its own.
If you want, I can make you a 7-day morning drink routine (lime, ginger, cucumber, etc.) for digestion and energy.
