HOW THIS MORNING DRINK CAN HELP ELIMINATE TOXINS

Hi there

Drink This First Thing In The Morning

You are bombarded with toxins every day in today's modern world.  They are everywhere from the polluted air you breathe, the water you drink, the shampoos and other cosmetics that lather your body with chemicals, and of course, all of the chemical additives, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and other harmful compounds in the food that you eat.

All of these TOXINS can have harmful effects on your body, harming your metabolism and hormones, affecting your digestive system, and creating havoc with your energy levels.

You can do one thing each morning as soon as you get out of bed and before you eat breakfast and it will help your body eliminate some of these toxins, improve your digestion, stimulate your metabolism, and also to boost your energy.

Ok so the first thing to do is to squeeze about 1/2 to 1 full lemon (depending on size of the lemon) into an 8 oz glass of warm or room temperature purified water.  The warm water is gentler on your body first thing in the morning compared to ice cold water.  You can slice your lemon into quarters before squeezing by hand which makes it a little easier than squeezing halves.  Drink this at least 10 minutes before eating any food for the day.

Try to use fresh organic lemons to make this drink but if you don't have any then don't worry.  Do not use bottled lemon juice.  Organic lemons are best to avoid the pesticides that can accumulate.

There are 3 Major benefits of you drinking this in the morning for your body, health, and energy:

1. Improves your digestion:

Lemon juice helps your body improve digestion and stimulates bile production. Lemon juice can even be an aid for heartburn and indigestion.

2. Boosts your energy for the day:

Even just the scent of lemon juice has been shown to improve your mood and energy levels, and reduce anxiety.  The detoxifying effect and alkalizing effect of fresh organic lemon juice can improve your energy by removing toxins from your body.

3. Helps you to lose fat:

Since lemon juice helps to improve your digestive system, aids in removal of toxins, and increases your energy levels, combine these together and it can help you to lose body fat as well through improving your hormonal balance.

The health promoting benefits of lemons are powerful as lemons contain antibacterial, antiviral and immune boosting components. We know that lemons are a great digestive aid and liver cleanser.  Lemons contain citric acid, magnesium, bioflavonoids, vitamin C, pectin, calcium and limonene, which supercharge our immunity so that the body can fight infection.

Lemons are considered one of the most alkalizing foods you can eat. This may seem untrue as they are acidic on their own but in the body, lemons are alkaline.  The citric acid does not create acidity once it has been metabolized. The minerals in lemons are actually what helps to alkalize the blood.  Most people are too acidic (from eating too much sugar and grains), and drinking warm lemon water helps reduce overall acidity, drawing uric acid from the joints. This reduces the pain and inflammation which many people feel. Drinking warm lemon water can also encourage regular bowel movements.


All the Best and have a great day.
