Difference between lime and lemon

This is a question that is usually asked on my youtube channel and to clarify I have put up this query in the faq section. In some countries like India, lemon and lime are treated the same way.

I am very much aware that green is lime and yellow is a lemon but any of these two can be added to make the drink. As both belong to the same family that is the citrus family, it does not make any difference to whichever fruit is added. Use lime or lemon.

The only difference in lime is it is slightly sweeter and not much and lemon is a bit sour in taste which is high in Vitamin C plus it has many other benefits which are mentioned above.

If lemon is easily available in respective countries then go ahead and follow this remedy.

    If I drink only lukewarm water without putting lemon in it , once daily, would I have to seek medical advice then? I imagine there is no need to , but I just wanted to be sure. Thank you.
