What Are the Benefits of Drinking Lemon Water?

You’ve probably heard that lemon water is good for you, but what are the benefits of drinking lemon water?

A gazillion!  Well, ok, maybe not a gazillion, but if you and your family can start drinking lemon water in the morning upon waking you will notice dramatic shift in your health.

When we wake up in the mornings our bodies are acidic and need hydration.  This is part of the normal cycle of the body.  Like everything in nature, our bodies have a rhythm.  Lemon water helps the body to keep in balance by supporting this natural rhythm or cycle.

So what are the benefits of drinking lemon water?

• Hydration
• Cleansing of the blood
• Awakening the digestive system
• Boosting the immune system
•  Providing Vitamin C
• Reducing inflammation
• Reducing mucus
• Aiding the liver
• Balancing the calcium in the body
• Freshening the skin (that “natural glow”)
• Eliminating toxins
• Alkalizing the pH levels
• Nourishing brain and nerve cells
• Reducing anxiety (calms the nerves)
• Awakens the body (try it instead of coffee)
• Balancing the gut bacteria by keeping bad bacteria at bay.
• Freshening of breath
• Helping to reduce cholesterol

Lemon is naturally antiviral and antibiotic so it basically goes in and cleans out your body and starts it fresh.  Drinking lemon water in the morning is one of the quickest and easiest things you can do for your health.

Think lemon, think morning, think fresh.
