Warm Lemon in water (HONEY)- MUST everyday.

“Physicians recommend drinking warm water in the morning, usually, with a polyphenol-rich lemon immersion, or with a tea shown to decrease free radical activity in the body.”

The refreshing lemon zing in the morning wakes you p, helps to kickstart digestion, and finalizes the natural detoxification process. Lemons are packed with vitamin C, B, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, enzymes, antioxidants, and fibers. Caffeine can be addictive, we all know this, but putting it aside may be beneficial for your adrenal glands and your overall health.

Lemons are antiseptic and have a powerful cleansing effect on your liver, kidneys, and blood. Overworked organs especially the liver have an influence on how good you feel so having a simple way to cleanse it each morning can make a big difference on your energy levels and how you feel!
The High mineral content in lemons make them highly alkalizing to the body, despite their citric acid. It is not the acid content of the food outside the body that determines whether it will have an acid or alkaline effect, but rather the way it is metabolized during digestion that counts.
It boosts the immune system. Lemons are high in Vitamin C and potassium. Vitamin C is great for fighting colds and potassium stimulates brain and nerve function that helps to control blood pressure.
Warm lemon water in the morning helps with weight loss. It has been linked to weight loss because of the alkaline properties, people who maintain a more alkaline friendly diet tend to lose weight faster. Also, if you start off the day making healthy choice, you are more than likely to make better choices throughout the day.
Helps to clear the skin. The mayo clinic reports vitamin C may improve the appearance of wrinkled skin, lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps to clear the skin as well.
Lemon water is an excellent source of potassium, potassium is good for heart health, brain function, and nerve function.
It is good for digestive health. Like we learned earlier in the article lemon juice encourages healthy digestion by loosening toxins in your digestive tract, it helps to relieve symptoms of indigestion as well such as burping, heartburn, and bloating.
Reduces inflammation. If you drink lemon water on a regular basis, it will decrease the acidity in your body, which is where disease states occur. It removes uric acid in your joints, which is one of the main causes of inflammation.
Helps fight viral infections. Warm lemon water is the most effective way to diminish viral infections and their subsequent sore throats. Plus, with the lemon juice also boosting your immune system, you’ll simultaneously fight off the infection completely.
