Start Your Morning With This Healthy Habit

How you start your morning can have a huge impact on your day and health.

One great healthy habit is to drink a glass of warm water with lemon juice on an empty stomach in the morning.

How To:

• 1 Lemon (Tip: no lemon around or need a shortcut: buy pure organic lemon juice - I have found it at Whole Foods)
• 1 large mug/cup
• Warm water

Directions:

1. Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice of one lemon half into the mug.
2. Add the warm water to the lemon juice—make sure you do not add boiled water as this would destroy some of the therapeutic properties of lemon.
3. Consume on an empty stomach.

There are many amazing benefits and here are my 3 most favorite ones:

Benefit #1 Detox

Lemon is a strong detox agent. Drinking lemon water first thing in the morning will help flush out toxins from your system.

Benefit #2 Increases Energy

The potassium in lemon juice nurtures nerve cells, and the negative-charged ions can help to increase your energy levels.

Benefit #3 Immune Support

Lemon is packed with vitamin C, which plays an important role in boosting your immunity.
