When Life Gives You Lemons.....Drink Lemon Water


When life gives you lemons, squeeze them and drink warm lemon water!
Morning is a good place to start
It's the beginning of a new day
You have a clean slate, undamaged by yesterday
It's your choice to create what you want in this new chapter
Can you think of a better way to jump into a new day, than to enjoy a nice warm glass of lemon water?!
 

Some of the Benefits of Drinking Warm Lemon Water in the Morning ~
 
1.   Drinking warm lemon water in the morning “kick-starts” your day, setting a tone of pleasing contentment, providing a rewarding boost.

(Of course, as passionate as I am about gratitude, I also suggest focusing on thoughts of gratitude, while drinking your morning lemon water.)

2.   Aids in maintaining a healthy digestive system, by assisting the liver to produce bile to flush out unwanted materials.
 
3.   Because it helps purge impurities from the blood, it promotes clear skin and prevents wrinkles.
 
4.   Balances pH by reducing your body’s general acidity.  Although lemons contain citric acid, after metabolizing they are actually alkaline.  Alkaline rich foods are necessary for a healthy diet. 

Go Green (and a little red and yellow too)!




5.   Increases urination, which eliminates toxins faster, and purifies the body.
 
6.   Lemons are high in Vitamin C and Potassium, so this boosts your immune system, by preventing the growth of bacteria that causes infections and diseases.
 
7.   The potassium in lemon, helps nourish brain and nerve cells. 
Stress depletes the body of Vitamin C, so retaining Vitamin C in your system, by drinking the warm lemon water, can help reduce stress, providing serenity and tranquility. 
 
8.   The pectin fiber in lemons helps stimulate healthy weight loss, because it curbs appetite cravings.
 
9.   Alleviates respiratory issues, and has even been known to relieve symptoms of allergies and asthma.
 
10.  Freshens breath, along with easing toothaches and gingivitis. 

 
****Important to note – (nothing is perfect)
   It’s strongly recommended to brush your teeth immediately after drinking your lemon water, as the enamel on your teeth can be damaged when coming in direct contact with the lemon juice.     


With love & gratitude,
Ginny
