I love lemon water. Make a pitcher in the morning and enjoy cold refreshing lemon water all day long.
5 Reasons to Drink Lemon Water in the morning - or anytime really...
1.)
Balances pH – lemon is acidic but when it
metabolizes in our body, it becomes alkaline which can help keep the oxygen in
our blood at a safe pH level so our body can heal itself, assimilate nutrients
and fight off sickness.
2.)
Keeps skin clear and glowing – hydration is one
of the best things you can do for your skin because you are moisturizing your
skin from the inside out. Plus lemons contain vitamin C, which helps with
wrinkles and blemishes.
3.)
Kick starts the digestive system by stimulating
the liver to produce bile to aid in digestion.
It also increases urination and helps with heartburn and constipation.
4.)
Helps with weight loss, from the alkalinity and
from the fiber pectin which can help keep you fuller longer. Lemons are also said to have a diuretic
effect which helps with water weight gain.
5.)
Kicks the coffee habit and soda habit, not much
more to say here. Soda is not good for the
body and coffee is okay in moderation but lemon water is far superior in my
book. I am going to try and start
drinking lemon water when I wake up on a regular basis instead of coffee. Then save coffee for a special treat. What about you?
Try lemon water hot.
I read it can help with toothache, promotes gum health and reduces bad
breath. Warm lemon water can also soothe
a sore throat.
