Ok, we all know that when we wake up, our body is dehydrated, so we need to drink something ASAP.
We should choose lemon water, and that's why:
1. It balances pH
Lemon is an acidic food, but once metabolized, it becomes alkaline. I work very hard at keeping my body alkaline. alkalies help keep the oxygen in our blood at a safe pH level, and this helps our body heal itself, assimilate nutrients and fight off unwanted sickness.
2. It keeps skin clear and glowing
Hydration from drinking lemon water is great for moisturizing our skin from the inside out. Lemon also contains lots of Vitamin C, which helps with wrinkles and blemishes.
3. It kick starts the digestive system
A big glass of lemon water is a great way to start the day. It encourages the liver to produce bile which in turn aids in digestion. It increases urination which helps purify it. It also helps with heartburn and constipation.
4. It helps with weight loss
I have read that keeping the body in an alkaline state helps people lose weight faster. Lemons are high in fiber pectin, which helps keep one full, longer. They also have a diuretic effect, which helps with water weight gain.
5. It helps control the coffee habit
I will drink coffee sometimes, but only if I have had my entire glass of lemon water. Many days I feel like the lemon water wakes me up more than coffee does...
