that really make a different. For example, lemons! There’s a lot of health benefits packed in this little fruit.
Drinking lemon water first thing in the morning is a great healthy habit to adopt. Our bodies detox while we sleep so a large glass of water first thing in the morning helps the body to eliminate the toxins and the lemon stimulates the liver. Lemon is tough on our tooth enamel so always dilute by adding it to water, warm or cold, and then rinse you mouth after you’re done.
Although lemon is acidic, when it gets into our bodies, it becomes alkaline and reduces the acidity in our bodies. This helps to combat inflammation and disease. Also, lemon boosts our immune system and helps to minimize viral infections.
Other benefits include:
– It is great for the skin and will help reduce acnes, sun damage and wrinkles.
– Replace your morning coffee with a cup of hot water with lemon for a refreshing energy boost
– Lemon aids digestions and also reduces heartburn, bloating and gas.
– Freshens breath
Always use fresh lemons, organic if possible, instead of bottled lemon juice. About ½ a lemon is a good amount. Give it a try.
