Adding lemon to your drinking water will not only quench your thirst, and that far better than any other liquid except for plain water, but it is good for you too.
Lemon water nourishes your body with vital minerals and trace elements and vitamins, and is also an energy booster, which is why it is the best thing to drink first thing in the morning when the body is dehydrated from not getting any liquid sustenance for so many hours.
Why is Drinking Lemon Water Important?
Drinking lemon water in the morning will help rid your body of toxins that have collected throughout the night when you have not urinated for many hours. It will help get rid of the toxins, rejuvenate your cells, and regulate your kidney and digestive tract functions.
Lemon water provides your body with important electrolytes, which the body needs for hydration, because they contain many electrolytes such as calcium, magnesium and potassium. It is also beneficial for your joints and will reduce stiffness and pain in both muscles and joints.
A glass of warm lemon water in the morning will aid the digestive process because it contains citric acid which interacts with the acids and other enzymes, which increases the secretion of gastric and stimulates the digestive process.
Lemon water helps the liver to produces more enzymes, cleansing it and stimulating it to release more toxins. It also helps regulates natural bowel movement and cleanses your blood, blood vessels and arteries as well as reducing high blood pressure by around 10%.
Drinking lemon water is also good for your nervous system as it contains a high percentage of potassium which the nervous system requires to ensure sustainable signals to the heart. Anxiety and depression are often as a result of low levels of potassium in the body.
Lemon water helps the body to maintain a higher level of pH, which is needed to fight infections and disease, by creating an alkalising effect. It also helps for sore throats, infections in the respiratory tract and inflammation of the tonsils due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Start your day off with a nice big glass of lemon water so that your system can get a great early-morning kick-start and you will feel the difference in your body within just a few days. You can also drink a glass of hot lemon water before retiring.
