Drink THIS First Thing in the Morning:
This daily trick can help you detoxify, improve your digestion and
boost your metabolism & energy levels
by Mike Geary – Certified Nutrition Specialist
You’re bombarded with toxins in today’s modern world… everywhere
from the polluted air you breathe, the water you drink, the shampoos and
other cosmetics that lather your body with chemicals, and of course, all
of the chemical additives, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and other
harmful compounds in the food that you eat.
All of these TOXINS can have harmful effects on your body, harming
your metabolism and hormones, impairing your digestive system, and
zapping your energy levels.
If I could tell you ONE thing that you could do each morning right as
you wake up to help your body eliminate some of these toxins, improve
your digestion, stimulate your metabolism, and BOOST your energy,
would you do it?
Of course you would… and it takes less than 1 minute!
Here’s the trick…
Immediately upon waking each day, squeeze about 1/2 to 1 full lemon
(depending on size of the lemon) into an 8 oz glass of warm or room
temperature purified water. This is gentler on your body first thing in the
morning compared to ice cold water. I’ve found that slicing the lemon
into quarters before squeezing by hand is easier than squeezing halves.
Drink this at least 10 minutes before eating any food for the day.
Make sure to use fresh organic lemons to make this drink, and not
bottled lemon juice. You want to use organic lemons to avoid the
pesticides that can accumulate.
3 Major benefits of this morning drink to your body, health, and
energy:
According to a leading health publication, TheAlternativeDaily.com:
“The health promoting benefits of lemons are powerful. For centuries, it
has been known that lemons contain powerful antibacterial, antiviral and
immune boosting components. We know that lemons are a great digestive
aid and liver cleanser. Lemons contain citric acid, magnesium,
bioflavonoids, vitamin C, pectin, calcium and limonene, which
supercharge our immunity so that the body can fight infection.
Lemons are considered one of the most alkalizing foods you can eat.
This may seem untrue as they are acidic on their own. However, in the
body, lemons are alkaline; the citric acid does not create acidity once it
has been metabolized. The minerals in lemons are actually what helps to
alkalize the blood. Most people are too acidic (from eating too much
sugar and grains), and drinking warm lemon water helps reduce overall
acidity, drawing uric acid from the joints. This reduces the pain and
inflammation which many people feel. And the American Cancer Society
recommends warm lemon water to encourage regular bowel movements.”
Benefits that you can enjoy:
1. Improves your digestion:
Lemon juice helps your body improve digestion and stimulates bile
production. Lemon juice can even be an aid for heartburn and indigestion.
2. Boosts your energy for the day:
Even just the scent of lemon juice has been shown to improve your mood
and energy levels, and reduce anxiety. Plus the detoxifying effect and
alkalizing effect of fresh organic lemon juice can improve your energy
through the removal of toxins from your body.
3. Helps you to lose fat:
Since lemon juice helps to improve your digestive system, aids in
removal of toxins, and increases your energy levels, this all combines
together to help you to lose body fat as well through improving your
hormonal balance… Yet another reason to add warm lemon water to
your daily morning routine!
