the juice ON LEMONS

WE ALL KNOW WE SHOULD DRINK MORE WATER THAN WE DO...
but did you know how much better water is for you with a splash of lemon in it? 

The practice of drinking lemon water has its origin in Traditional Chinese Medicine that relies on nature's produce to prevent and treat health problems. Lemons are amazing, the contain large amounts of nutrients such as Vitamin C, magnesium, potassium and calcium.

Add it to your water and these are the benefits...

It will boost your immune system: Because of its rich Vitamin-C content, lemon water strengthens your immune system and helps prevents illness. Vitamin-C also has healing properties - when taken frequently during the day, lemon water has been known to hasten the healing of wounds and infections.

It will support your digestive system: Your digestive system relies on a number of enzymes and digestive juices to break down food particles into basic nutrients to nourish your body. Often times, this system is hampered by an unhealthy consumption of fat, sugar, salt and food additives, making your colon sluggish. When this happens, you may suffer constipation or irregular bowel movement. Lemon water helps your liver to produce bile which digests fat for easier absorption and elimination.

It will promote clear skin: Your inner health is reflected on the surface of your skin. Depending on what you feed your body, what you eat or drink may nourish or be harmful to your skin. Toxins trapped in your colon eventually find their way to other body parts as well as your skin. This triggers acne flare-ups or skin rashes due to allergies. Drinking lemon water effectively cleans your bowel of harmful waste and toxins so that with regular consumption, your skin will be healthy and blemish-free.


THE BEST TIME TO HAVE YOUR WATER WITH LEMON...?
While lemon water may be taken at any time of the day, many people swear by the amazing benefits of drinking lemon water first thing in the morning. Your body is literally on a fast while you are asleep and is in a mild state of dehydration when you wake up. Unlike coffee which is loaded with the diuretic caffeine, lemon water can re-hydrate your body within minutes of drinking it.

Many people feel energized quickly after drinking lemon water in the morning, and drinking lemon water before anything else in the morning stimulates your bowel to eliminate accumulated waste.

Fix yourself a glass of lemon water every morning by adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice to a glass of warm water.
