On top of those benefits, you’d be happy to know that you don’t have to go far to find this special drink. You do not even have to spend much at all! It’s lemon water!
Those who know of its benefits have probably been drinking it for years. But for many people, it’s fresh news because those benefits have just been in the limelight recently. If you fall in the latter category, then you will find that this post is for you.
So how do you make lemon water? You just squeeze half of a lemon in 8 ounces of warm water. It’s that easy! You may be thinking, it’s just lemon and water, how beneficial can it be? Well, prepare to be amazed with these benefits:
- Lemon Water Detoxifies and Improves Digestion
Lemon juice is not that different from the digestive juices in your stomach. That is why it can make your liver produce bile to help the food that you eat move through your gastrointestinal track easier. It also helps process nutrition more slowly. When you absorb nutrition better, you won’t bloat. Because it stimulates your liver, it helps flush out toxins. Lemon water is also a diuretic so you are also ridding your urinary tract of elements that should not be there.
- Lemon Water Boosts Your Immune System
Lemons are really high in vitamin C and that is important if you want your immune system to properly work. Vitamin C (which your body doesn’t produce on its own) is an antioxidant that protects your cells from oxidative damage. What’s more, it helps you avoid coughs, colds, and the flu.
- Lemon Water Rejuvenates Your Skin
As we mentioned above, Vitamin C which is abundant in lemons is a great antioxidant. Lemon water helps fight free radicals and prevents them from damaging your body. It keeps your skin healthy, glowing, and fresh-looking. Lemon water also helps your body produce collagen which in turn prevents facial lines and wrinkles.
With those great benefits, is there any reason why you shouldn’t drink lemon water in the morning?
