- When mixed with warm water, it helps your stomach by relieving digestion problems, such as nausea, heartburn, and bloating. When you drink lemon water on a regular basis, your body is aided in eliminating waste more efficiently.
- It helps your liver remove toxins/free radicals that are produced when filtering your blood because of the high level of Vitamin C (think powerful antioxidant!) found in lemons. The antioxidants help to neutralize the free radicals.
- The removal of toxins can also help clear the skin. Along with the hydration from the water, the vitamin C from the lemon helps clear the skin and give it a healthy glow. Try to drink the water right away in the morning to start flushing out your system immediately and give you the right start to your day!
- It helps boost your immune system. The vitamin C and potassium help to fight colds and stimulate brain and nerve function. The potassium also helps to control blood pressure.
This is just a brief summary of the benefits of lemon water, but for me, that's enough to continue drinking lemon water on a regular basis! Something so simple, yet so beneficial!
Try adding half a lemon of juice or a tablespoon to your next glass of water. Not only are you adding a burst of flavor, you are also adding a natural boost to your body!
