10 Reasons 
Why You Should Drink Warm Lemon Water in the Morning.











Instead of getting a cup of coffee, why not replace it with a warm water lemon drink!?
 Below are the good factors to consider.

1.  Boosts your immune system: Lemons are high in vitamin C, which is great for fighting
 colds. They’re high in potassium, which stimulates brain and nerve function. Potassium also
 helps control blood pressure.

2. Balances pH: Drink lemon water everyday and you’ll reduce your body’s overall acidity. 
Lemon is one of the most alkaline foods around. Yes, lemon has citric acid but it does not create 
acidity in the body once metabolized.

3. Helps with weight loss: Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. 
It also has been shown that people who maintain a more alkaline diet lose weight faster.

4. Aids digestion: Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials. It encourages the liver
 to produce bile which is an acid that required for digestion. Efficient digestion reduces heartburn
 and constipation.

5. Is a diuretic: Lemons increase the rate of urination in the body, which helps purify it. 
Toxins are, therefore, released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.

6. Clears skin: The vitamin C component helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon 
water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well. It can actually be
 applied directly to scars to help reduce their appearance.

7. Freshens breath: Not only this, but it can help relieve tooth pain and gingivitis. 
The citric acid can erode tooth enamel, so you should monitor this.

8. Relieves respiratory problems: Warm lemon water helps get rid of chest infections and 
halt those pesky coughs. It’s thought to be helpful to people with asthma and allergies too.

9. Keeps you zen: Vitamin C is one of the first things depleted when you subject your 
mind and body to stress. As mentioned previously, lemons are chock full of vitamin C.

10. Helps kick the coffee habit: After taking a glass of warm lemon water, most people 
suggests of less craving for coffee in the morning.

Why it has to be warm water not cold? Cold water likely provides a shock or stress factor to 
the body. It takes energy for your body to process cold water.
The recipe is really simple - a cup of warm water (not hot) and the juice from half of a lemon.
