Lemon (1 Fruit (2 1/8 Inches Dia))

Eat lemon as part of a balanced meal rather than by itself, pairing it with protein such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, or grilled chicken.

Avoid sweetened lemon drinks, lemonade, lemon syrups, and lemon desserts; use fresh lemon juice in water or on food instead.

Use a smaller amount of lemon at one time and spread lemon-containing foods or drinks across the day if needed.

Add fiber-rich foods to the meal, such as lentils, chickpeas, non-starchy vegetables, chia seeds, or a small portion of berries.

Choose unsweetened sparkling or still water with a squeeze of lemon rather than juice or sweetened beverages.

Take a gentle 10–15 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
