Health Benefits of Lemon Water

I used to have sporadic breakouts.  I told my naturopath about them, and he recommended that I drink hot water with lemon every morning, right after waking. He explained that the antioxidants in the lemon juice help decrease blemishes and flushes out toxins if taken early in the morning, thereby maintaining skin’s radiance.

That was about six years ago and to this day, every morning consists of a cup of hot lemon water. I really didn’t believe it would help my skin, until I made it a part of my morning routine.

Hot lemon water has a lot of other healthy benefits such as:

1. STRONGER LIVER

Strengthens liver by adding energy to liver enzymes

2. Freshens your breath

CAUTION: the citric acid from lemons can erode enamel, so hold off brushing right after you drink it, or brush before drinking it

3. Excellent source of potassium and vitamin C

Easy way to boost your immunity

4. Helps you lose weight

Lemons contain a fibre called “pectin” which helps reduce hunger cravings

5. Aids in digestion

Drinking lemon water after a really greasy meal, or Thanksgiving dinner helps loosen toxins in digestive tracks

There are so many more benefits. So, go ahead and make lemon water a part of your daily routine and experience better health in no time! You can click here to get my simple recipe for lemon water.
