Top 6 reasons to drink lemon water every day
by Sandeep Godiyal
(NaturalNews) Life is busy, and it feels like sometimes it is way too busy to get into habits that keep the body healthy. Eating right, exercising regularly or getting enough sleep can all feel like they just take too much time out of the day. The good news is, however, that there are some simple, easy things to do to keep healthy. One of the best and simplest ways to do this is to drink lemon water daily. This routine can fit into even the busiest of schedules, but even though it only takes a few minutes in the morning, it can make a big difference in everyday health. The following are some of the best reasons why everyone should be drinking a glass of lemon water in the morning - some of them might come as quite a surprise!
Better digestion
Lemon water is one of the best ways to improve digestive health. The acetic acid in lemons aids the stomach in breaking down food and it also stimulates the production of bile in the liver. Extra bile also helps with the digestive process and prevents problems like indigestion and constipation.
Stronger immunity
Drinking lemon water daily is a great way to strengthen immunity as well. It is rich in vitamin C which helps the body to fight off bacterial and viral infections and it also has strong anti-oxidant properties to support general health.
Good hydration
Especially in the warm weather, drinking water in the morning can help to keep the body replenished and prevent the problems that come along with dehydration. Lemon in the water also helps to make water more palatable and encourages people to drink more. When the body is hydrated, all bodily systems work better.
Youthful skin
Lemon water is a great way to moisturize and hydrate naturally from within - and this will lead to naturally youthful-looking skin. The fact that the lemon is so high in vitamin C and other anti-oxidants also makes it a wonderful anti-aging tonic.
Healthy weight
Drinking lemon water daily is also a great way to shed unwanted pounds. As a matter of fact, lemon water is probably one of the cheapest diet aids there are! Better digestion and good hydration are both great aids to weight loss.
Suppler joints
This might sound strange, but drinking lemon water daily is also great for the health of the joints. This is because uric acid can build up in those joints and cause pain, stiffness and discomfort. Drinking lemon water, however, can help break this uric acid down and remove it from the body before it can do joint damage.
For all these reasons, everyone should be drinking lemon water each morning - even with the busiest schedules, this is a routine that anyone can slip into and the long and short-term health benefits for it are nothing short of amazing.
