It is a water soluble vitamin which is necessary for normal healing of tissues (required for synthesis of collagen protein) and improves immune functions. There is a special symptomatic relief in subjects suffering from common cold or flu. This finding is consistent with concentration of this vitamin found in the immune cells. Thus, taking lemons improves the healing process and lets your body fight all kinds of infections in a more powerful way besides having a great taste and a soothing thing to look at. But remember that ascorbic acid when exposed to air is oxidized and loses its effects. So, always use fresh lemons. It is used to lose weight and to improve digestion. External application of lemon juice on skin is a commonly referred treatment of acne and gives you a clean and fresh looking skin owing to the content of citric acid.
