Many doctors and nutritionists recommend to start the day with a glass of warm water mixed with some freshly squeezed lemon juice. Why are doctors forcing this drink and is it useful? Are there any health benefits from drinking it?
After the 8-9 hour fast, that our body goes through during the night, starts the process of elimination and re-hydration. The human body functions the best at a temperature of 37 degrees, so when you consume too hot or too cold beverages, it can’t get rehydrated very well. The combination of warm water and freshly squeezed lemon juice is perfect for rehydrating your body.
Warm lemonade speeds up the metabolism, boosts the secretion of digestive juices that eases digestion, boosts bowel emptying and we all know that clean bowels are key to a healthy organism.
Lemon melts accumulated fat from your fat tissue, blood vessels. It will help you lose weight while protecting you from atherosclerosis.
Lemon juice is rich in potassium, calcium and vitamin C. It boosts your immunity, alkalizes your body, reduces the blood pressure, stabilizes your blood sugar levels and will help you get rid of the free radicals. Lemon will also protect you from catching colds and infections.
