If you look closely, all the drinks that help you lose weight have lemon; this is because lemon juice is digestive and detoxifying. Plus, it’s very easy to prepare, you just need warm bottled water and squeeze 1/2 lemon into each glass.
Drinking it every day on an empty stomach will not only help you lose those extra pounds, but it has many other benefits and that’s why here are 10 reasons why you should start drinking warm lemon water every morning:
1. Helps with digestion. Lemon juice eliminates toxins from the body due to its acidic composition. It also alleviates symptoms of indigestion, such as heartburn and burping.
2. Acts as a diuretic. This water will increase the number of times you have to go to the bathroom and thus help you eliminate unwanted materials. This is how toxins will be released at a faster rate.
3. Balances pH levels. Lemon is an acidic fruit, and when it enters our body, it has an alkaline effect that helps balance our body’s pH.
4. Relieves problems like nausea. I don't really know the exact reason, but it is proven to help relieve nausea immediately.
5. Stimulates the immune system. Do you remember how your grandmother always gave you hot lemonade when you had a cold? This is because lemons are rich in vitamin C, making them ideal for fighting colds. Additionally, these fruits help reduce the amount of phlegm produced by the body.
6. Improves your mood. The aroma of lemon has energizing properties that improve mood and help clear your mind. Another of its properties is that it reduces anxiety and depression.
7. Leaves fresh breath. Since lemon is a fresh fruit, it will help relieve dental pain and gingivitis, leaving you with fresh breath. What is important to know is that because it is a citric acid, it can damage dental enamel, so I recommend brushing your teeth before drinking lemon water or wait a couple of hours after drinking it to avoid problems.
8. Helps you lose weight. Lemon is an excellent detoxifier and is great for reducing inflammation. And not only that, lemons, being rich in pectin fiber, help combat cravings.
What are you waiting for to start drinking this lemon water every day?
