Pruning a Lemon Tree

I have never pruned my precious lemon tree but over time the leaves have dropped off the lowest two branches. Would it be a good idea to cut these 2 branches off? The branches look healthy and green (see second photo attached) but just have no leaves. I would appreciate your thoughts. I water the tree frequently but not too much and it has good drainage.
