Indigestion -- when your body does not process food the way it should -- often appears as bloating, gas, acid reflux or constipation. Lemon may help to alleviate these symptoms as well as provide your body with vitamin C which may strengthen your immunity. Drinking lemonade after a meal to help alleviate your indigestion works similarly to the cooling effects of drinking lemonade on a hot day. However, lemon water is not a replacement for traditional medical treatment, so if you have persistent indigestion, make sure to speak with your doctor to determine the underlying reason.

Drink your lemon water mixture after a heavy meal.
