There are in fact some small changes that people can make that can nonetheless bring major benefits to the body, like walking around the block in the morning, taking the stairs at work instead of climbing the elevator. Another small but significant lifestyle change to consider is drinking lemon water throughout the day.
Drinking lemon water first thing in the morning is a pretty simple routine to get into and it will have tremendous effects on your overall health.
According to the Ayurvedic philosophy, choices you make regarding your daily routine either build up resistance to diseases or tear it down.
It helps to kick start digestion and finalizes my body’s natural detoxification processes.
Lemons are packed with vitamin C, B, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, enzymes, antioxidants, and fibers.
SOME BENEFITS ARE:
Strengthens the immune
system
Even
without lemon juice, staying hydrated with water helps immunity by flushing
toxins and pathogens from the system more easily. Further benefit to the immune
system comes from the Vitamin A and Vitamin C as well as the antioxidants that
lemon is so rich in and this can help the body to fight off illness and
disease.
Aids weight loss
One safe and healthy way to help stimulate weight
loss is drinking lemon water; it can help to suppress hunger pangs and food
cravings and stimulates the metabolism so that the body burns fat more easily.
And it is much safer than many all these diet pills currently flooding the
market
Clears the skin
Even by
itself, water is excellent for skin health: skin that is hydrated is full and
youthful-looking and less prone to puffiness, wrinkles or other signs of aging.
When the antioxidant and detoxifying power of Vitamin C from the lemons is
added to the mix, it makes for a very effective skin tonic indeed! The lemon
water can also be used topically as a toner to leave the complexion smooth and
clear.
Maintains a healthy
acid-base balance
Sugary
foods and animal-based protein feature heavily in the American diet.
Unfortunately, this can lead to problems with acidity throughout the body and
the disruption of the body’s pH balance. Lemon water can correct this because
it has an alkalizing effect upon the body. A pH balance which is slightly
alkaline reduces cancer risk as well as inflammation throughout the body.
Enjoy!
