Do it: Benefits of Warm Lemon Water. Why Should You Drink It?

The good thing about mornings is that you can always start over. Having warm lemon water in the morning before eating your breakfast has a lot of digestive benefits, not only from the lemon, but from the temperature of the water. I love (looove) lemon, and any citrusy thing full of vitamin C.

So lets break this down, so you kno

w why I have it every morning.

First, drinking water first thing in the morning, specially lemon water, helps stimulate the digestive system and re-hydrates the body, making it a great way to start the day. Second, lemon juice is like a shot of vitamin C and potassium, these boosts your immune system specially in the morning because you are allowing your body to absorb all these vitamins.

Third. It does wonders to your skin: Happy skin, happy you.

Vitamin C also improves collagen production which is great for your skin, nails and hair. By having a healthy digestive system you are eliminating all the toxins your body has, and that enhance your overall skin appearance, making it look more radiant and clear. Following that thought, number four is that it allows you to have a healthy weight. Think about it, by detoxifying your body you are getting rid of all the stuff that aren't healthy, allowing you to maintain a healthy appearance and weight and increase your metabolism.

Now, although I am a huge fan of lemon water and I love it, It is not a secret potion to loose weight. The reason I am writing this is because we all have different body types, and our bodies react in different ways to different things. What might work for me, might not work for you, and thats how it works. Having lemon water in the morning comes along with a clean and healthy lifestyle.

It is important to listen to our bodies and fill them with things that would allow us to become better versions of ourselves. Bottom line of lemon water? Love it.

Here is how I drink it.

1 lemon

About half a cup of boiling water.

Squeeze the lemon in a cup, and pour boiling water. I either use my kettle, or heat up the water on the microwave. I am lazy sometimes.

Not rocket science, isn't it? Some of my favorite mugs are linked below.

Thank you so much for reading!
