, for a better understanding of whether or not drinking lemon water actually has any benefits at all. Here, she reveals all…I’m constantly fighting pseudoscience online and lemon water is one of these so-called panaceas of health we tackle, in relation to ways in which we can ‘detox’ the body.
The NHS recommends that adults drink between 1.5-2 litres of fluids every day, that’s around 8-10 glasses. However, as with our energy intake, this recommendation varies depending on lifestyle factors, such as how much you sweat, your environment around you , your age, and for women if you are breastfeeding.
Ultimately, it comes down to your own preferences and if you enjoy drinking lemon water then there is no immediate harm in doing so, but don’t expect it to yield miracles or rid the body of any nasties it may have.of the amount you consume as we also need to consider the dental health issues that may arise with drinking lemon water, as the acidity from the lemons may cause enamel erosion which can lead to yellow staining or increased sensitivity to the teeth.

Barriers to learning for sustainability: a teacher perspective - Sustainable Earth ReviewsWe collectively face a constellation of complex and interconnected problems that threaten human and planetary wellbeing now and into the future. Holistic, multidisciplinary education that integrates the social, environmental and economic pillars of sustainability and enables learners to contribute to more sustainable societies are widely expected to play a crucial role in addressing these challenges. However, transformative learning to foster more sustainable ways of living cannot take place without teachers, who serve as role models for students and are widely acknowledged as key agents of social change. Teachers are called upon to translate international policies for sustainability education into classroom practice, but research shows that many practicing educators feel unprepared to help learners develop the competencies needed to forge more sustainable paths forward. In this commentary, the reflections of a British science teacher provide a first-hand account of the disconnect between international policy on sustainability education and the lived experiences of a classroom teacher and serve as a launch point for comparison with other teachers’ perspectives on teaching and learning for sustainability as documented in the literature. Despite significant context-based differences in how sustainability education is implemented, teachers’ voices from across the world reveal several common obstacles to multidisciplinary, learner-centered education for sustainability, including disciplinary silos, a focus on high stakes assessments, and inadequate professional learning opportunities for future and practicing educators. These hurdles persist despite repeated calls from policy-makers and researchers to better prepare and support educators as the facilitators of learning for sustainability, underscoring the need to more closely connect top-down Education for Sustainable Development policy to teachers’ needs and classroom experiences.
