Who knew that warm lemon water could do so much? Naturally!!!!
WARM LEMON WATER
Who is going to start drinking it daily?
Aids with digestion:
Warm lemon water helps to eliminate waste in the body.
It helps with nausea, constipation, diarrhea and parasites.
It also relieves indigestion and allows food to digest properly.
Aids Weight Loss:
Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps suppress food cravings.
It also helps the body eliminate waste products by cleansing and detoxifying it.
By maintaining a more alkaline diet, you will lose weight faster.
Restores the body’s PH:
A food’s acid content is reflected in its pH value. Most foods contain naturally occurring acids to give them acidic values on the pH scale. A food’s pH value is often not the same in the body.
Lemons even though acidic, when inside our body are alkaline- forming when their compounds are released for absorption through the metabolic process.
With water lemons restore the body’s PH balance.
Purifies the liver:
Our body is exposed to toxins daily. The liver filters the toxins from the blood; after the toxins are filtered out of the bloodstream, they turn into free radicals. Free radicals are bad for the liver; the vitamin C in the warm lemon water cleanse the liver by removing toxin build up.
Hydrates the lymphatic system:
Warm lemon water stimulates the lymphatic system to remove the toxins accumulated in the lymph glands, colon, and bladder.
Warm lemon water hydrates the body and prevents adrenal fatigue. A dehydrated body can’t perform its regular work. Adrenal glands secrete important hormones, including aldosterone.
It also regulates water levels and the concentration of minerals, like sodium helping us stay hydrated.
Immune system booster:
Warm lemon water can boost your immune system as the juice of one lemon contains 18.6 milligrams of vitamin C, and a wedge provides 2.3 milligrams. Vitamin c helps ward off colds.
Natural diuretic:
Lemon itself is a natural diuretic and will increase the rate of urination. As a result, lemons help clean our urinary tract and free it of infections. It is also believed to aid in the dissolution of gallstones.
Recipe:
In 1 cup of warm water add the juice of 1/2 of an organic lemon.
Drink twice a day: before breakfast and before going to bed at night.
I have known the benefits of lemon water for quite some time and have been drinking it almost daily. But I should say, sugarless lemon water.
I should try it. So how much lemon juice to a glass of water?
Why warm? Wouldn't cold work just as well?
Does this thing really say that one of the benefits of drinking warm lemon
water is that it helps keep you hydrated? I can't be the only one who sees
what's stupid about that, right? Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees
that. God, people will fall for anything.
No, lemon water will not detoxify your liver. Mostly because detoxify is not a
thing which a thing does. Your liver is just fine at getting rid of anything it filters
out of your body. Which is why liver toxicity isn't a thing we've been dying from
up to the point where some nut job decided to start guzzling lemon water. Our
livers have this whole filtration system down to a science. its a science this
poster clearly doesn't understand, but her liver does, so she's fine.
No, vitamin C does not help prevent colds. The cold is caused by a virus,
vitamin C is not a substance with anti-viral abilities. It was thought that
because, literally, one guy made it up, and people ran with it. However, it will
help with scurvy, so feel free to drink warm lemon water on your next pirate
voyage.
Yes, drinking warm lemon water will help hydrate you, and please read this in
as obvious a voice as you can muster, because its mother fucking water. Any
water will do that. Lemon water, orange water, beer, wine, grape juice, milk,
gatorade, and just plain every day water will all keep you hydrated, because
they all contain water. what kind of ass-hat wrote this anyway.
Not milk necessarily, but yes, your correct.
I wonder when the C thing will go away.
C actually makes your cold stick around longer because it restricts the cells that fight it.
Even milk has water in it. its actually mostly water. Anything that is liquid,
save things like liquid oxygen or liquid nitrogen, anything drinkable that is
liquid, is mostly water. Milk, orange juice, apple juice, carrot juice, even blood is
mostly water if you feel like drinking it. If you're dehydrated, all of them will
work. The only thing to avoid is salt water, and anything that makes you vomit.
Milk and some other things will make your dehydrationworse actually.
But okay.
Smile.
Like beer for example. You need to drink some water. Just beer won't do.
Couldn't find the exact study, but this one talks about it pretty well. The
sample size needs to be larger, but it shows promise.
