Hot Lemon Water is one of my favorite gentle detoxifiers. Here are 5 reasons why:
.
#1 Gently stimulates the liver and activates bile flow, so that your body can flush out toxins.
.
#2 Prevents constipation by stimulating the GI tract. Drink first thing in the morning for extra benefit.
.
#3 Alkaline effect on the body. Kind of confusing because lemons themselves are acidic, but lemon water support healthy pH in the body.
.
#4 Warm water promotes digestion and absorption, rather than cold water that stifles digestion.
.
#5 Extra vitamin C - fends off free radicals, supports the immune system, and is great for keeping the skin healthy and glowing.
.
Give it a try tomorrow morning, (maybe even as a coffee substitute if you're daring!) and let me know how it goes!
