Why I Start My Day With Warm Water & Lemon

I had no idea how beneficial this was for me growing up but everyday, like clockwork, mom would pour out a cup of hot water and squeeze some fresh lemon into the cup.

Usually in a mad hurry to get through breakfast so I could get outside, would gulp it down, scarf my processed breakfast (we lived in blissful ignorance around breakfast cereals, lucky me) and then grab my bike and I was gone.

Fast forward 20 something years to now where I, now knowingly, live my life according to the principles of Ayurveda and yoga that my family instilled in me at a young age.

So why do I think drinking this is a big deal? In a nutshell:

It raises your PH levels so from acidic to a more alkaline internal environment - Disease cannot live in an alkaline environment as it needs acidity to thrive. When we sleep, our bodies become acidic so the simple act of drinking water & lemon in the morning balances the body.

Empowers your immune & nervous system - Lemons are rich in potassium and vitamin C stimulating your neuro-impulses and strengthening white blood cells.

Improves digestion by removing toxins from the digestive system and promotes bile production in the liver.

Aids in weight loss again due to keeping the body in an alkaline environment. Lemon is also a craving buster.

Purifies the body by eliminating toxins, clears the liver and the skin.

Calms you with a high level of Vitamin C first thing in the morning.

Five times the media took sides in the Steubenville rape case and painted the assailants in a positive light.
