The way we start our day is very important. It doesn't matter if you are a mom, businesswoman, student, writer, marathon runner, etc., the first thing you do in the morning is crucial for the rest of the day.
According to Ayurvedic practices and beliefs, the choices you make regarding your daily routine can either build resistance to diseases or destroy them. Ayurveda encourages you to start your day by focusing on morning rituals that help align the body with its natural rhythms.
Our mind tells us that we have to check our emails, walk the dog, get the kids ready for school, and that there is no time for those morning rituals because we can't be late for work/school.
But let's make an effort to give time to a practice that will benefit your health tremendously. Start your day with a cup of warm water with the juice of half a lemon. Our friends from ActitudFEM invite us to discover the benefits of doing this:
Weight Loss
Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps reduce cravings. It has also been shown that people who follow a more alkaline diet lose weight faster.
Natural Diuretic
Lemon juice helps eliminate what we don't want because it increases the body's urination rate. Therefore, toxins are eliminated faster, helping to keep the urinary tract in good condition.
Boosts Immune System
Lemons are rich in vitamin C and potassium. Vitamin C is great for fighting colds, and potassium stimulates brain and nerve function, helping to control blood pressure.
Aids Digestion
Warm water helps stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and peristalsis, which are the muscle contractions of the intestinal walls that keep things moving. Lemons have high amounts of vitamins and minerals, which help eliminate toxins from the digestive tract.
Cleanses the Skin
Vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and skin irritations because lemon purges toxins from the blood, helping our skin look fresher and younger.
Including this in your daily routine for a month will result in noticeable changes in your health and your day. The recipe is very simple: a cup of warm water (not hot/boiling) and the juice of half a lemon.
