This fruit can be easily found in different Supermarkets in the Philippines. It costs 26-30 plus pesos per piece depending on the size. Wonder how lemons will affect you and your heath? I have been doing this drink for My Mom for several weeks now together also with a home made Cucumber drink and I found out in a daily observation that from her hazy colored urine suddenly turns out into pale straw color(sign of normal,healthy,and well hydrated) during regular intake of this amazing power drink. Below are some benefits you could get from it.
1. Better Digestion. (Okay ka ba tiyan?)
Lemon water is one of the safest ways to help your body get rid of toxins. Once your body is clean and detoxified, your digestive tract will start it's work in a different, much better way. People whose digestive tract is not healthy often suffer from bloating, nausea, and heartburn. Lemon water solves the problem. Warm lemon water mixed with a drop of honey can be consumed by those who are trying to loose weight and often feel sweet cravings.
2. It Protects and Improves Your Immune System (Shield Activated)
Another fact you should know about lemon water is that it is good for those who need to improve and protect their immune system. Lemon water contain vitamin C. This vitamin fights different infections. Lemon water can also be used as an anti-inflammatory means due to Ascorbic acid that it contains. Drink lemon water during rainy season to avoid colds, and if you already got a cold, drink lemon water to fight the bacteria much faster.
3. Clear and Glowing Skin (What every girls want to have)
Lemons are full of vitamins, especially vitamin C. Lemons also have a number of antioxidants. All these combined, lemons turn into an amazing means that can be used to fight blemishes and wrinkles. You can apply lemon juice on scars and age spots. If you do it regularly, you will make them less visible. Drinking lemon water has a positive effect on your skin as well.
4. It Provides Additional Energy. (The booster)
Since lemons are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, they can provide your organism will all you need to stay alert and energetic throughout the day. Always have a bottle of lemon water on your desk or in your bag. This drink will reduce stress, anxiety and will improve your emotional state due to the fact that lemons are one of those fruits that are charged with negative ions.
5. It Purifies the System.
It has been scientifically proven that lemon water is capable of cleansing your whole body. Due to citric acid enzyme all body functions become more active which in turn detoxifies organism, You can either eat the fruit of add it into the water to purify your blood. The point is to do it regularly. Lemons also solve issues with urinary tract, because lemons stimulate your body to release toxins through urine.
6. It Speeds Up Healing. (The natural way is better)
Another fact you might not know about lemons is their ability to heal wounds. This becomes possible because of the main healing ingredient that lemons contain - Ascorbic Acid. This acid is necessary in those cases when you want to have healthy and strong bones, cartilage, and other connective tissue. On top of this, as I have mentioned before, lemons can reduce all sorts of inflammation.
7. It Can Beat You the Coffee Habit. (Addiction over!)
If you feel like getting rid of your dependency on caffeine, try drinking lemon water instead of caffeinated beverages. Once you break the habit, you will feel and look much better. Kicking bad habits is never easy. However, it's quite possible if you have a bottle or a glass of lemon water at hand.
9. It Helps You Shed Weight Faster. (The sexy new you)
The mineral content of lemons is alkaline and doctors say that alkaline diets help us lose pounds quicker. Plus, pectin fiber that lemons are rich in improves and stimulates our digestive system and keeps us feeling fuller without consuming excess calories.
This is simple yet delicious drink.(Note: This may taste a little bit bitter, but it's alright.) There are much more benefits of lemon water. I have mentioned some of them and I hope that they sound convincing enough to make you include lemon water in your diet.
