Have you ever noticed that in restaurants water often comes with a slice of lemon. Well, it’s not just for the flavor. Did you know that drinking lemon water daily could benefit your health?
Squeezing half a lemon into a glass or cup of warm water provides you with one-sixth of your daily-recommended dose of vitamin C. The extra boost of vitamin C is vital because the nutrient keeps your skin healthy and boosts your immune system. But drink it on an empty stomach please 🙂
Here comes the why you should drink lemon water:
Vitamin C: It is a rich source of vitamin C (do I have to say more 🙂 )
fights infections: With its powerful antibacterial properties, it helps fight infections
balances pH: Drinking lemon juice with warm water every morning helps in maintaining the pH balance of the body.
digestive health: Helps with maintaining digestive health.
weight loss (!!!) Lemons help fight cravings and hunger and reduce your belly fat. I am in – SOLD 🙂
kills bloat: Drink it to prep for a tight dress or bikini moment. It’s so great to kill bloat. Lemons make you pee more and get rid of toxins.
Skin glow: Lemon water is also a popular remedy for many kinds of skin problems ranging from acne, rashes, pimples and wrinkles.
Bad breath: It’s a no, no one wants a bad breath.
Pain: Drinking lemon juice with warm water also helps reduce joint and muscle pain.
Thoughts? Of course, you can use limes instead of lemons.
Why does the water needs to be warm? Because warm water will stimulate the digestion and liver. Cold water would shut it down so you would not get the same benefit.
I just love the fact, that not everything in life has to be hard. This lemon water tip is so easy, we just need to make it our morning habit.
Even though it is not a miracle cure, I love it and I am convinced that drinking lemon water as a first thing in the morning is a good thing.
Remember: Next time life gives you literal lemons, make lemon water. Your body will thank you 🙂
