few months now, is drinking warm lemon water. I have started (almost) every day with a glass of warm lemon water and it has made a huge
differences for me. Warm lemon water in the morning helps kickstart the digestion process for the day. According to Ayurvedic philosophy,
choices that you make regarding your daily routine either build up resistance to disease or tear it down. Ayurveda invites us to get a jump-
start on the day by focusing on morning rituals that work to align the body with natures rhythms, balance the doshas and foster self-esteem
alongside self-discipline.
There are many health benefits of lemons that have been known for centuries. The two biggest are lemons strong antibacterial, antiviral,
and immune-boosting powers and their use as a weight loss aid because lemon juice is a digestive aid and liver cleanser. Lemons contain
many substancesnotably citric acid, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, bioflavonoids, pectin, and limonenethat promote immunity and fight

infection.
HOW TO DO IT: You should be using purified water and it should be lukewarm not scalding hot. You want to avoid ice cold water, since
that can be a lot for your body to process and it takes more energy to process ice cold water than the warm. Always use fresh lemons,
organic if possible, never bottled lemon juice. I squeeze 1/2 a lemon with each glass and I drink it down first thing before I eat a single
thing, or workout, etc.
10 Benefits to Drinking Warm Lemon Water Every Morning
1) Aids Digestion. Lemon juice flushes out unwanted materials and toxins from the body. Its atomic composition is similar to saliva and
the hydrochloric acid of digestive juices. It encourages the liver to produce bile which is an acid that is required for digestion. Lemons are
also high in minerals and vitamins and help loosen ama, or toxins, in the digestive tract. The digestive qualities of lemon juice help to
relieve symptoms of indigestion, such as heartburn, belching and bloating. The American Cancer Society actually recommends offering
warm lemon water to cancer sufferers to help stimulate bowel movements.
2) Cleanses Your System / is a Diuretic. Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials in part because lemons increase the rate of
urination in the body. Therefore toxins are released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy. The citric acid in lemons

http://tasty-yummies.com/2013/03/18/10-benefits-to-drinking-warm-lemon-water-every-morning/ 5/138
helps maximize enzyme function, which stimulates the liver and aids in detoxification.
3) Boosts Your Immune System. Lemons are high in vitamin C, which is great for fighting colds. Theyre high in potassium, which
stimulates brain and nerve function. Potassium also helps control blood pressure. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) found in lemons demonstrates
anti-inflammatory effects, and is used as complementary support for asthma and other respiratory symptoms plus it enhances iron absorption
in the body; iron plays an important role in immune function. Lemons also contain saponins, which show antimicrobial properties that may
help keep cold and flu at bay. Lemons also reduce the amount of phlegm produced by the body.
4) Balances pH Levels. Lemons are one of the most alkalizing foods for the body. Sure, they are acidic on their own, but inside our bodies
theyre alkaline (the citric acid does not create acidity in the body once metabolized). Lemons contain both citric and ascorbic acid, weak
acids easily metabolized from the body allowing the mineral content of lemons to help alkalize the blood. Disease states only occur when
the body pH is acidic. Drinking lemon water regularly can help to remove overall acidity in the body, including uric acid in the joints, which
is one of the primary causes of pain and inflammation.
5) Clears Skin. The vitamin C component as well as other antioxidants helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes and it helps to combat free
radical damage. Vitamin C is vital for healthy glowing skin while its alkaline nature kills some types of bacteria known to cause acne. It can
actually be applied directly to scars or age spots to help reduce their appearance. Since lemon water purges toxins from your blood, it would
also be helping to keep your skin clear of blemishes from the inside out. The vitamin C contained in the lemon rejuvenates the skin from
within your body.
6) Energizes You and Enhances Your Mood. The energy a human receives from food comes from the atoms and molecules in your food.
A reaction occurs when the positive charged ions from food enter the digestive tract and interact with the negative charged enzymes. Lemon
is one of the few foods that contain more negative charged ions, providing your body with more energy when it enters the digestive tract.
The scent of lemon also has mood enhancing and energizing properties. The smell of lemon juice can brighten your mood and help clear
your mind. Lemon can also help reduce anxiety and depression.
7) Promotes Healing. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C), found in abundance in lemons, promotes wound healing, and is an essential nutrient in the
maintenance of healthy bones, connective tissue, and cartilage. As noted previously, vitamin C also displays anti-inflammatory properties.
Combined, vitamin C is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of good health and recovery from stress and injury.
8) Freshens Breath. Besides fresher breath, lemons have been known to help relieve tooth pain and gingivitis. Be aware that citric acid can
erode tooth enamel, so you should be mindful of this. No not brush your teeth just after drinking your lemon water. It is best to brush your
teeth first, then drink your lemon water, or wait a significant amount of time after to brush your teeth. Additionally, you can rinse your
mouth with purified water after you finish your lemon water.
9) Hydrates Your Lymph System. Warm water and lemon juice supports the immune system by hydrating and replacing fluids lost by
your body. When your body is deprived of water, you can definitely feel the side effects, which include: feeling tired, sluggish, decreased
immune function, constipation, lack of energy, low/high blood pressure, lack of sleep, lack of mental clarity and feeling stressed, just to
name a few.

10) Aids in Weight Loss. Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. Studies have shown people who maintain a
more alkaline diet, do in fact lose weight faster. I personally find myself making better choices throughout the day, if I start my day off
right, by making a health conscious choice to drink warm lemon water first thing every morning.
Do you drink warm lemon water every morning? What are your favorite benefits?
*EDIT*
I recently discovered how smart it is to zest my lemons before I juice them for my daily warm lemon water. I keep a container in the freezer
and I just keep adding to it. Its great to toss into pasta dishes, in salad dressings, etc.

How long after drinking the lemon water should you wait to eat or drink anything else? Im interested in adding this to my routine but
dont have a lot of time before I must be out the door.

Jennifer I have seen differing opinions on this. Some say 12-30 minutes, some say no need to wait at all. Some days I am
literally drinking mine while I am making my breakfast, other days, like today, I drink it then workout for an hour, then eat. I
guess whatever works for you and your day.

I drink lemon juice every morning as you descibed. I have been using lemons with just about everything I eat. My mother
had lemon and honey tea at the start of every day. Always fresh organic, she advised me to do the same. My mother
lived to 101 years, in good health. I prepare fresh chilled lettuce with lemon juice and olive oil. Lemon juice on any
grilled fish or veal. Steamed veggies or fruit salad, even over ice cream

Jennifer you only have to wait a half hour before eating or drinking anything else. When you drink your lemon water make
certain that you are drinking it through a STRAW as its very ACIDIC. Being so acidic, it can ERODE tooth enamel.

that cleans the colon and kidney and etc that acidic is not acidic when injested .. trust me me look it up it becomes a good
alkiline and cleans up the arteries and fat stuck in our bodies which causes cancer
read my other thread on the apple test i did that i sent try it the way i did and see what you fine good luck
that acidic acid cleans your bowels big time ..

Hi,
Well this depends on what kind of benefits you want to have from drinking lemon. If your body is acidic and you are taking it
for getting alkalised , so wait 30 min after drinking. If you are using it as vitamin C tonic, then there is no need to wait, or you
can take it right after food. Keep in mind too much lemon can give you a heart burn, in that case just take a glass of any cola to
settle down.

Hey Darcy I only drink coffee occasionally, when I am really craving it or just want a little caffeine buzz Think super early
morning craft fair set up, etc. I used to be a daily coffee drinker and I didnt like feeling as if I *HAD* to have it, now I just
enjoy a cup when I am craving it, usually less than once a week. I would try substituting your coffee with herbal tea or the
lemon water in the morning. If you are a heavy coffee drinker, maybe dont quit it cold turkey, since you could end up with
headaches and stuff. Today I tried for the first time an herbal coffee replacement. http://teeccino.com It is naturally
decaffeinated, non acidic and tastes like coffee.

Because most times bottled lemon juice, isnt just pure 100% lemon juice, many times it has preservatives added to keep it
fresh etc. This is obviously altering the natural make up of the lemon , its nutrients and consequently its benefits.
Additionally bottled lemon juice can contain sulphites which a lot of people are allergic to. Hope that helps.

will be just fine and daily consumption of the lemon water wouldnt be over use, it could even help her body in dealing with the
antibiotics, etc. But you will want to be 100% sure so you arent undoing the effects of the antibiotics, unknowingly. Best to be
on the safe side.

also to lose weight which is always a struggle for me. I cannot exercise like I would like to, as I have a bad knee, although I do try to
go to a warm pool to do exercises when I can. My diet has been more sugary than it should be for years, because I have a sweet tooth,
I dont want to eat this way anymore & wish I wouldnt succumb to the sugar craving.
Any ideas.?????

Smoothies sweetened only with fruit like bananas or some dates would be a great breakfast with lots of benefits and it would
even help suppress some of the sugar cravings. Also try oatmeal, chia seed puddings, homemade granola or cereal bars.
Homemade muffins, scones, baked donuts, etc. Also eggs are great in moderation if you eat them. So many great possibilities.
Hope that helps and congrats on the great life changes and the weight loss!

Just make sure if you are eating smoothies to put some cereal or berries in the bowl so you it forces you to chew your
foodif we dont salivate on/with our food our body has a harder time breaking it down. Fresh vegetable juices with
beets are a great way to start your digestive system on the right path:)

To aid in the breakdown and absorption of the nutrients in a smoothie, use Pineapple and/or Papya. They have
enzymes in them that help you get the most nutrition out of the food you eat.

I would suggest eating mostly protein for brekky for energy. All the carbs in muffins, etc. play havoc with your blood
sugar and may make you crave more carbs an/or sugary foods.

Hi
I am relatively new to the lemon water having been introduced to it by a lady I work with, now its part of my staple
morning routine. A breakfast I love and has helped with weight loss is millet porridge, it can be a bit of chore to make but
I tend to make up a batch and then freeze it in portions and then just reheat when needed it keeps you feeling full for
hours. Various recipes online but I substitute the milk for rice milk in all of them.

I would suggest a fruit smoothie with 2TBsp freshly ground organic golden flax seeds added (grind them in a little coffee
grinder before adding to the main blender). I have a real sweet tooth as well, and have also cut out all bread you should find
that your sugar cravings will diminish greatly! Bread really stimulates the appetite (which is why I started having smoothies in
the morning in the first place) and this new morning routine has really been great I am getting all my daily fruit in one whack
+ the flax seed (SO good for you!), its quick, easy, and it gives me energy!

You can always try fruit smoothies. Dates and bananas with berries are my favorite. the dates are super sweet, so you dont
have to add sugar. I also try polenta with dried fruit and Agave nectar or coconut sugar.

Hi Karleen2
I too have a sweet tooth, what Im doing is a smoothie in the morning with a banana, apple, papaya, cinimon, glass of water and
4 table spoons of oak meal. I also cut down on sweets and have lost 15 pounds in 3 months.

I have lemon water every morning, along with some cinnamon and ginger. A great breakfast that I have most mornings is an
egg white omelet: Heat up 1/2 tsp flaxseed oil, and saute 1 clove of garlic. Add 1 sliced mushroom, 1 chopped green onion and
1/8 cup chopped red pepper. Saute until soft and add 1/2 cup greens (spinach and baby kale are my favorite!) Once the greens
are wilty, add 1/2 cup egg whites and 1/2 oz cheese or vegan cheese. Season with 1/2 tsp of your preferred spices. I like to
experiment with greek seasonings, southwest or provence spiceshave fun with it, but avoid salt!

Oatmeal with almonds, eggs, plain Greek yogurt with granola (honey sweetened..no sugar). But my favorite breakfast is a smoothie
that includeds chia seeds.

My grandmother was born in 1903 and drank warm lemon water every day of her life. She worked until she was 76raised 10
children and had the most beautiful skin I can remember. She barely had any wrinkles. My Mom always attributes it to Nanas warm
lemon water habit.

I started doing lemon water (almost) every day back in January, as well as start watching what I eat and controlling portions, cutting
out sugars and late night snacking, etc. Long story short, Ive lost 14 lbs since mid-January! Though I know its not the only reason
Ive lost weight, Ive credited the lemon water for being a huge help in kick starting and maintaining a healthier lifestyle. I feel more
energized (equals less coffee!), more hydrated, and just overall better. I do alternate between warm and cold lemon water, and I dont
always drink first thing before anything else but try to still get it in everyday. Thanks for this post; it is full of great information and is
even more motivation to continue drinking lemon water!

Hi Beth,
Thanks for posting this wonderful tips of lemon. Well, I had been drinking lemon water (freshly cut up lemon pieces soaking in warm
water) for about 1 month so far. I do find my joints hurt less as I have gout. I wonder does it help in the overall being of a lupus
sufferer like myself? I have fibromyglagia too. I also have heart problems (CAD ~ coronary artery disease)too. My mood seems better
after this lemon therapy (I am bipolar). Can my diabete mum reap the benefits as well? Have a nice day !!

Here is my story: I (45/m) have been taking all vitamins, Calcium, B complex, Omega-3, (stopped taking salts, cut sugar, only
Coconut oil) no eggs, half spoon milk 0% in tea. And had my blood pressure (150+/100+) for over a year. You know I do not like
visiting doctors.
Out of nowhere just two days ago I drank water with half lemon juice (no sugar) at night and saw my blood pressure 130/90 in the
morning. Now drinking three times lemon water.
I just bumped onto this blog. Got lot of support. The warm water and green tea ideas are wonderful.
By the way I have stopped all supplements/tablets in last two days and going fine. I wasted my money on them so far, I guess. First

Hi, I am super enthusiastic about starting to use lemons in my daily routine. I have very early starts 5 days a week and think warm
lemon water will be a better kickstart to my day rather then the awful instant coffee I currently slurp down!. Just wondering if I can
squeeze fresh lemons and freeze it in portions? (Or, will it last in the fridge?) Would that have the same benefits?? Im worried about
not having lemons on hand everyday.

Hi Brit, 1/2 lemon in the morning and 1/2 in the evening is usually enough. I always do the 1/2 in the morning with a juicer (it
gets all the juice out which is a fair amount). Must say, I dont always use the other half of in the evening.

However, I just realized Ive been actually doing lime water. Is there a difference?

I have been on lemon/lime water without sugar two+ weeks. Feeling a lot better. I have seen my blood pressure touching 178/122 just
two months back. Mostly in 150/100 range over a year. Today I just saw 120/81 and that bring me back here to write my comments.
Also cutting on unhealthy diet is very important. Losing my weight. In the last six months I cut 10 pounds. Though I am still over-
weight. Need to lose another 10 pounds at least. Just one thing bothering me on how to lose belly fats.
Thanks.

I was told that you need to do your lemon water and 20 minutes after you need to eat breakfast. It doesnt have to be a big
breakfast a yogurt will do just fine. The reason is that if you skip breakfast your body produces Cortisol which is what is
responsible for the belly fat.Just some food for thought. I am just newly doing this myself. I was told this over the weekend by a
family nurse practitioner so I am giving it a shot myself. I found this site by looking up the benefits of lemon water and thought
I would share what I was told.. Hope it helps.

Hey, quick question.
I live in Costa Rica, where we do not have lemons, well we will in a few years thanks to a baby lemon try we brought in.
In any case, we dont have them here, but we do have sveral types of limes. Do you know if there is much of a difference?
Im sure it cant hurt, but Id like to know so that I can speak from a place of knowledge when suggesting this to our retreat guests.
Thanks so much.

Hey Mark,
I dont know in what part of Costa Rica are you from but I was born and raised in San Jose, Costa Rica for 21 years before
moving to Miami and they do have lemons over there they are called limones amarillos I used to get them all the time.
Supermarkets have them and also the farmers market.

One fresh lemon including its skin daily . Blenderized to smoothie consistency will neutralized acids in your stomach, provides
you with Vit C, ,regulate you bowel due to pulp that goes along with the juice, decreases inflammation, very food for a lot of
thing. Just once daily. Maybe helps cancer growth. Never more than on. Why place on warm water .The benefits is when its
fresh.
