Add Lemon in your Water
Yup – you read correct! Why?
1.Immune System Boost
Vitamin C is imperative during times of stress as it will give your system a boost and lemon juice is full of it! When we are under stress, our need for vitamin C increases because our adrenal glands (stress glands) need it even more. When your adrenal glands are overworked and undernourished, they will produce a hormone called cortisol. This hormone causes your body to deposit belly fat right where you don’t want it!
2. Supports healthy digestion
Fresh lemon juice supports your digestion digestion by loosening toxins in your digestive tract, it helps to relieve symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, burping, and gas and bloating.
3. Stimulates the liver
The liver is our body’s biggest fat-burning organ. Fresh lemon juice helps to stimulate the liver and helps it to function at its best.
How?
Squeeze a fresh lemon in your water every day. You can also use lemon juice but organic lemon juice. Don’t use the one in the little plastic bottle as that one contains nitrates. Try an organic one or take a few minutes and squeeze up enough lemon juice for the week.
I use Santa Cruz’s Organic Pure Lemon Juice and you can find it in the health food section of your local grocery store!
How much?
Juice of one fresh lemon a day ( approx. 2 tablespoons)
Recipe to try
Lemon water ice cubes.
Take your ice cube tray and fill it up with water.
Slice up lemons and add the juice of the lemons to your ice cube tray.
Pop them in your glass or water bottle as needed.
Any other lemon water fans out there?
Remember…
Live Life Delicious!!
