每天喝柠檬水有助于减轻炎症

Inflammation is the immune system's response to a wide variety of health threats, including those from toxins, allergens, pathogens, and injury. As functional a response as inflammation is, however, when it becomes chronic, even at low levels, it can lead to a number of other threats to health, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and various cancers, among other conditions.

炎症是免疫系统对各种健康威胁的反应，包括毒素、过敏原、病原体和伤害。然而，与炎症一样具有功能性的反应是，当它变得慢性时，即使是在较低水平上，也会导致许多其他健康威胁，包括糖尿病、高血压和各种癌症等。

Fortunately, if you drink lemon water every day, your body may experience less inflammation. That's because lemons are a great source of — you guessed it — vitamin C, which studies show has anti-inflammatory properties.

幸运的是，如果你每天喝柠檬水，你的身体可能会少发炎。这是因为柠檬是维生素C的重要来源，研究表明它具有抗炎作用。

For example, in a 2015 study published in the scientific journal, Drug Design, Development and Therapy, scientists recruited 64 people who had both obesity and either diabetes or high blood pressure. For a period of eight weeks, half were given vitamin C supplements, and half were not. At the end of those eight weeks, the levels of inflammatory markers in those who had taken vitamin C were significantly lower than they had been at the start. By contrast, those who had not supplemented with vitamin C showed no such change.

例如，在2015年发表在《药物设计、开发和治疗》科学杂志上的一项研究中，科学家招募了64名同时患有肥胖症、糖尿病或高血压的患者。在八周的时间里，一半服用维生素C补充剂，另一半不服用。在这八周结束时，服用维生素C的患者的炎症标志物水平明显低于开始时。相比之下，那些没有补充维生素C的人没有表现出这种变化。
