Starting your day off with warm lemon water is thought to
have a ton of health benefits - and it's been an Ayurvedic practice for a long
time. Read on to learn about the health benefits of drinking lemon water first
thing in the morning.
Aids in Digestion
Not only does the warm water help to stimulate the GI tract,
but the lemons are believed to stimulate and purify the liver. It also helps
digestive acids with digestion and elimination.
Supports Immune Function

acid. Vitamin C can help fight colds and and the ascorbic acid helps iron
absorption which also plays a role in immune function.

Alkalizes the Body
If your body is in a chronic pH imbalance, it's susceptible
to disease. Even though lemons seem acidic, they are extremely alkalizing and a
great way to ensure your pH balance is where it should be especially if your
diet is heavy in meat, cheese and/or alcohol.
Helps Detox
Lemon
water is a natural diuretic, which means it helps your body flush liquid and
toxins along with it. The citric acid can also help maximize enzymes which
stimulates the liver.
It's
an Energizer
Though
I hesitate to even consider giving up my morning coffee, many people swear they
can easily give it up after a few days of lemon water. The combination of water
and lemon helps to hydrate and oxygenate the blood, leaving you feeling great!
