My mom has been telling me for years to start my day off with some hot water and lemon. And, although i knew there was probably be a lot of benefit to it... Basically cause my mom is a health freak, and i know she wouldn't steer me wrong.
But i never really fully knew the benefits to drinking lemon water, and drinking lemon water first thing before you eat anything else.
However, this morning, i realized i was out of milk, so i couldn't have my regular tea or coffee. BUT, i had a lemon, so although this isn't something that is new to me, i thought why not actually find out WHY this is good for me.
So, here is what i learned:
-Even though lemons are acidic, they are alkaline in your body
-Kick starts the digestive system ( this is why its good to drink it before you eat anything in the morning )
- It keeps skin clear
- Gives you an energy boost
- Detoxifies your body
- Speeds up your metabolism
Now, i like to sip on lemon water through out the day.. However, remember that since lemons are acidic that isn't the best for your teeth, so you may not want to over do it!
