While visiting Linda and Rod in Bakersfield a few weeks ago, I was introduced to the benefits of drinking warm water with lemon upon rising. There it was, 6:30am on Christmas morning, and Linda came into my bedroom with a glass of warm water with freshly squeezed lemon. Pucker up, is all I can say. She used an entire lemon plus pulp, and was it ever tart. So what are the benefits of drinking lemon water each morning?
Apart from being an amazing body alkalizer, lemon water also gives the following benefits:
lemons are antiseptic
lemon water has excellent digestive properties and can ease heartburn, bloating and other digestive problems
lemon water cleanses and stimulates the liver and kidneys
lemon juice contains calcium, magnesium and potassium
lemon juice has been known to rlieve asthma
lemon water (hot) offers relief from cold and flu symptoms, while providing vitamin C
Lemon juice is a great skin cleanser.
Those are alot of great reasons to drink warm lemon water every morning. I'm going to add it to my daily routine for the next month and see if I feel or look any different.
One word of advice. It is best to brush your teeth after drinking the lemon water. Toothpaste is highly alkaline so neutralises any acids in your mouth. Some people are concerned about tooth enamel and lemon water, but if you follow the above advice you should not have a problem.
It'll take some getting used to the very tart taste of lemon in the morning, but I believe it may have some positive benefits, as noted above. Like anything else new, it'll take some getting used to.
Warm water with lemon also helps bowl moment in the morning. It help to control your food intake thus helps weight control. Results are known after 3 / 4 weeks. Some people prefer with a spoon of honey. Honey alone with warm water is also advised for weight loss.
