As opposed to coffee or tea to start your day, have a glass of warm water with the juice of half a lemon first thing in the morning. I heart lemons. They truly are a super-fruit, and here’s why…
Lemons are so cleansing! They are wonderful at stimulating the liver and kidneys and help to flush the body of nasty toxins. There are over 200 different types of enzymes in lemons, which will help to kick-start your digestive system first thing.
Not only does drinking warm lemon water help boost your metabolism straight away but it also boosts energy, balances the pH of your body, and hydrates the lymph system. What’s more, lemons contain even more Vitamin C per gram than oranges! Vitamin C supports the immune system and is terrific for the skin.
So start today, incorporate this one addition to your morning ritual and begin to see and feel the results in just a few days.
Enjoy!
P.s. Be sure to use only lukewarm water rather than hot as not to kill all those wonderful little enzymes!

Hi Oakbridge! Thanks for your comment, that’s a really good question and there is a reason behind using warm water as opposed to cold. Drinking warm water increases the tightening of the intestines, which optimises digestion. This is why having a glass first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is the best time, because it can help improve the breakdown of foods throughout the day. Stimulating digestion is key to detoxing because elimination is one of the main ways our bodies expel toxins. Warm water also increases your body temperature and improves blood circulation. Do remember not to use boiling water with lemon though as it will kill all of the amazing enzymes which are good for you! Luke warm water is ideal :) Hope this helps! 🍋
