While drinking plenty of water is critical to hydration and good health, not everyone enjoys drinking plain tap water and therefore many individuals walk around at least partially dehydrated most of the time.
It is crucial that you drink sufficient water on a regular basis in order to maintain the body’s fluid levels at the correct balance of around 70% water. There are many ways that this can be achieved, such as investing in a water cooler that will ensure that you have easy access to pure, filtered and great tasting chilled water virtually non-stop.
The Benefits of Drinking Lemon or Lime Water
If you really cannot drink plain water, something that may aid you is to flavour your drinking water a bit with either lemon or lime. Lemon and lime water is very refreshing and easy to come by throughout the year, and they also have some additional health benefits:
• Lemons and limes have high vitamin C content and also contain some vitamin B complex;
• Lemons and limes can be used in any season, and are great for preventing seasonal afflictions such as coughs, colds and other respiratory problems;
• Lemon and lime juice is easily digestible and improves the digestive system;
• Lemon and lime juice relieves stomach-related problems;
• Lemon and limes juice reduces heat in the body, which makes it a great summer thirst quencher when mixed with chilled water;
• It helps relieve constipation, joint pain and gout;
• Use for treating for various skin related problems, boils and wounds from piles;
• Use lemon in your drinking water for expelling intestinal worms;
• Drink lemon or lime water to combat influenza, coryza and diabetes;
• Drink the juice of a lemon in tepid water first thing in the morning on empty stomach to reduce uric acid levels;
• Drinking lemon water can also heal headaches caused by heat;
• Drink the juice of one lemon in a glass of water to which you have added a teaspoon of crystalline sugar first thing in the morning for a few days to relieve dizziness when getting up from a sitting position or when walking;
• Drink lemon or lime water, gargle with it and brush your teeth 3 times a day with it to relieve bleeding gums and strengthen your teeth;
• Lemon juice and honey in a glass of warm water will soothe a sore throat, give an instant energy boost and remove mental fatigue.
It is best to use fresh lemons with a thin skin, and if you slightly warm the lemon before squeezing you will get approximately three times more juice from the lemon.
