10 Reasons Why You Should Drink
Warm Lemon Water in the Morning
Instead of getting a cup of coffee, why
not replace it with a warm water lemon
drink!? Below are the good factors to
consider.
1. Boosts your immune system:
Lemons are high in vitamin C, which is
great for fighting colds. They’re high in
potassium, which stimulates brain and
nerve function. Potassium also helps
control blood pressur
e.
2. Balances pH: Drink lemon water
everyday and you’ll reduce your body’s
overall acidity. 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.
3. Helps with weight loss: Lemons are
high in pectin fiber, which helps fight
hunger cravings. It also has been
shown that people who maintain a
more alkaline diet lose weight faster.
4. Aids digestion: Lemon juice helps
flush out unwanted materials. It
encourages the liver to produce bile
which is an acid that required for
digestion. Efficient digestion reduces
heartburn and constipation.
5. Is a diuretic: Lemons increase the
rate of urination in the body, which
helps purify it. Toxins are, therefore,
released at a faster rate which helps
keep your urinary tract healthy.
6. Clears skin: The vitamin C
component helps decrease wrinkles
and blemishes. Lemon water purges
toxins from the blood which helps keep
skin clear as well. It can actually be
applied directly to scars to help reduce
their appearance.
7. Freshens breath: Not only this, but it
can help relieve tooth pain and
gingivitis. The citric acid can erode
tooth enamel, so you should monitor
this.
8. Relieves respiratory problems: Warm
lemon water helps get rid of chest
infections and halt those pesky
coughs. It’s thought to be helpful to
people with asthma and allergies too.
9. Keeps you zen: Vitamin C is one of
the first things depleted when you
subject your mind and body to stress.
As mentioned previously, lemons are
chock full of vitamin C.
10. Helps kick the coffee habit: After
taking a glass of warm lemon water,
most people suggests of less craving
for coffee in the morning.
Why it has to be warm water not cold?
Cold water likely provides a shock or
stress factor to the body. It takes
energy for your body to process cold
water.
The recipe is really simple - a cup of
warm water (not hot) and the juice
from half of a lemon
