Have been told that drinking
lemon water first thing in the
morning is especially good for
cleansing the liver and to kick
start our digestive system,
and it is completely true, but
lemon water does much more
than that. Drink Lemon Water
in the morning for health and
vitality!
Here is the top 10, out of
many, benefits of drinking
lemon water.
1. Boosts your immune
system: Lemons are high in
vitamin C and potassium,
which stimulates brain and
nerve function. Potassium
also helps control blood
pressure.
2. Balances pH: Lemon is one
of the most alkaline foods
around. Yes, lemon has citric
acid but it does not create
acidity in the body once
metabolized, so, you’ll reduce
your body’s overall acidity.
3. Helps with weight loss: To
fight hunger cravings maintain
a more alkaline diet, this is
because lemons are high in
pectin fiber.
4. Aids in digestion: It
encourages the liver to
produce bile which is an acid
that required for digestion,
which reduces heartburn and
constipation.
5. Is a diuretic: Lemons
increase the rate of urination
in the body, which helps
purify it from toxins,
therefore, helps keep your
urinary tract healthy.
6. Clears skin: Lemon water
purges toxins from the blood
which helps keep skin clear as
well, this is
thanks to the vitamin C
component, which helps
decrease wrinkles and
blemishes.
7. Freshens breath: The citric
acid can kill the bacteria, so it
can help relieve tooth pain
and gingivitis.
8. Relieves respiratory
problems: Warm lemon water
helps get rid of chest
infections and halt those
pesky coughs.
9. Keeps you zen: Vitamin C is
one of the first things
depleted when your mind and
body are subjected to stress,
and in the lives we lead, who
is not?
10. Helps kick the coffee habit:
Normally after a glass of hot
lemon water, you don’t crave
coffee in the morning. Try it
yourself!
The recipe is really simple – a
cup of warm water (not
hot) and the juice from half of
a lemon.
Take Lemon, Its Good for you.
