Drinking water is vital for good health because the human body is made of around 70% water and we need to maintain that balance for good health.
While many of us do not particularly like drinking water, especially tap water, and think that we will die if we cannot start our morning off with a nice strong cup of coffee, we would do much better drinking lemon water first thing in the morning.
Why is Drinking Lemon Water in the Morning Good for Me?
Lemons are rich in potassium, flavonoids, proteins, antioxidants, and vitamins B and C. They also have potent antiviral immune building capabilities, and drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning has wonderful health benefits.
Drinking lemon water in the morning helps build the immune system and also improves your health in various other ways:
- Acne – The consumption of lemon water in the morning will help to metabolise the acid in your body
- Colitis – Lemon water can help balance your pH levels; Colitis is an imbalance of the acid/alkaline levels within the body
- Constipation – Drinking lemon water is great for your digestive health and promotes regular bowel movements
- Finger Nail Health – Lemon water increases the hardness of one’s nails
- Flu and Cold – Lemon has many antiviral and antibacterial effects; it enhances the immune system making it a superb remedy for colds and flu
- Immune System – Lemon water supports the lymphatic system, which works in conjunction with the immune system
- Inflammation – Acidity is the leading cause of tissue inflammation; lemons possess anti-inflammatory properties so they neutralise acidity
- Joint Pain and Swelling – Lemon water helps reduce the amount of uric acid in our joints, thus reducing inflammation. It is extremely beneficial for people with arthritis, since it reduces the pain.
- Kidney Stones – People often forget this benefit of lemon use. Lemons contain potassium which increases citrates in your urine, and in that way, it prevents the forming of oxalate, and flushes out kidney stones.
- Weight loss – The pectin in lemon water can help fight off cravings and regulate your blood sugar, thus you will eat less and maintain a healthy weight.
