drink warm lemon water

This immunity booster is a simple way to kick start your day.

Lemons deliver a powerful punch of vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium – all three are important for warding off illness.

Lemons can also:

  • Natural cleanse the liver – buh-bye toxins!
  • Aid in digestion – a flush for your GI tract plus a little re-hydration to go along
  • Help clear skin –  vitamin C helps with collagen and the flushing of the liver and digestive tract, lead to a clearer complexion.
  • Boost your metabolism – lemons contain a pectin (a fiber found in fruits) that can help you feel fuller longer.

Ready to give it a try?

  • Squeeze ½ fresh lemon juice into 8 oz of water, to start. Some say repeat up to consume up to 20 oz but that’s a lot of water to guzzle when you first wake up!
  • Try doing this before you brush your teeth!
  • Bring an empty mug to bed with you the night before - just simply to serve as a visual reminder. I do this and I NEVER forget my staple lemon go-to, even when I’m tired or in a rush.
