How do you start off your day? Do you drink a warm cup of coffee or tea? It always feels so good to have a warm beverage first thing in the morning. I use to drink tea every morning, but I try to limit my caffeine intake, and I realized that I actually need caffeine in the afternoon rather than in the morning. So, I replaced my morning cup of tea with a warm cup of water with the juice of half a lemon.
Sometimes I put a little bit if raw honey, but most days I just drink the lemon water plain.
Starting your day off right will help you to feel good and make healthier choices throughout the day.
The benefits of lemon water are outstanding. It is way better for your body than a cup of coffee or tea loaded up with cream and sugar, which is the way I would drink it!
Here are some health benefits of drinking warm lemon water:
~ High in Vitamin C and Potassium ~ boosts your immune system, wards off colds and illnesses, helps control blood pressure.
~ High in pectin fiber, aids in weight loss and helps fight sugar cravings.
~Aids in digestion ~ helps loosen toxins in the digestive tract.
~ Balances your PH
~ Prevents hydration (hydrates the lymph system ) and adrenal fatigue.
~ Clears skin from the inside out
~ Promotes healing with it's anti inflammatory properties.
Lemons also can change your mood, their beautiful bright yellow color and uplifting aroma, will lift you up and give you a positive jolt, without the caffeine!
