Benefits of drinking lemon water

December 27, 2017

Water

Is life and essential for all living creatures. It is involved in almost every bodily function and it’s a primary component of bodily fluids.

Lemons

Are loaded with vitamin C. A cup of lemon juice provides 187% of your daily recommended serving of vitamin C. Lemons are also loaded with potassium, magnesium and copper.

Benefits of drinking lemon water

Boosts your immunity

Lemons are high in Vitamin C which is an antioxidant. Vitamin C is great for fighting colds, and potassium stimulates brain and nerve function and helps control blood pressure.

Balances pH

Lemons are an incredibly alkaline food. The high mineral content of lemons makes them alkalizing to the body.

Helps weight loss

Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. It also has been shown that people who maintain a more alkaline diet lose weight faster.

Improves digestion

Lemons assist in digestion and elimination. Lemons are high in minerals and vitamins and help loosen toxins in the digestive tract.

Acts as a detoxifier

Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials because lemons increase the rate of urination in the body. Toxins are, therefore, released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.

Helps clear skin

The vitamin C helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon water cleanses, detoxifies the body which helps keep skin clear as well.

Hydrates the lymph system

This cup of Lemon goodness helps start the day on a hydrated note, which helps prevent dehydration (obviously). When your body is dehydrated, or deeply dehydrated (adrenal fatigue) it can’t perform all of its proper functions, which leads to toxic buildup, stress, constipation, etc. Hydrate your body with lemon water and watch your health improve!

Water is the driving force of all nature
