Every morning when you wake up, your body tissues are to some extent dehydrated and that is why they require the intake of liquids such as water or juice to hydrate and rejuvenate the cells, while eliminating toxins. A glass or cup of warm lemon water on an empty stomach not only helps to quench thirst faster than any other drink, but also contains numerous vitamins and minerals that are extremely beneficial for your body.
This citrus fruit, which is so present in our daily lives, has magnificent immunological properties when it comes to fighting infections and preventing colds or colds, but lemon juice also helps you lose weight, thanks to its cleansing properties and the pectin fiber they contain.
How to prepare a cup or glass of warm water with lemon?
First of all, it would be advisable to use spring water, instead of the water that comes out of the tap at home. Then, you should heat it for a few minutes until it is lukewarm, without boiling. Squeeze half a lemon into each glass or cup and never add sugar. Drink it first thing in the morning and on an empty stomach. In summer, if you prefer, you can prepare lemonade in the same way, but using natural or cold water. However, you must take into account that your body will take longer to metabolize it.
Benefits of drinking warm water with lemon
Helps digestion
Lemon juice aids digestion and eliminates toxins from your body. Its digestive properties help soothe symptoms caused by indigestion, such as heartburn, gas or nausea. Lemon helps neutralize those annoying symptoms.
Boosts your immune system
The vitamin C in lemons contributes to a stronger immune system. Moreover, the juice contains ascorbic acid, whose anti-inflammatory properties and saponins, help prevent colds and flu, besides being a great ally against bacteria.
Helps burn fat
One of the most beneficial properties of warm water with lemon, as long as it is drunk on an empty stomach. Lemons are rich in pectin fiber and that means a more alkaline diet, favoring the production of a molecule that helps burn fat from your body at a faster rate.
Cleanses your skin
Both vitamin C and other antioxidants harbored in this yellow fruit help minimize the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes. By drinking warm lemonade every day, you will achieve a healthy and radiant skin, due to the alkaline properties that act against acne-causing bacteria. The vitamin C contained in this citrus fruit rejuvenates the skin and makes it smoother.
Provides energy
The energy that people accumulate comes from the atoms and molecules contained in food. Lemon is one of the foods with the highest charge of negative ions, which results in a huge source of energy for your body. On the other hand, if you are going through a difficult time and have symptoms of stress or anxiety, a little lemon water will help to improve your nervous system.
Purify your body
Warm water with lemon is a great diuretic, capable of eliminating high levels of toxins from your body, due to the citric acid found in lemons. Drinking lemon juice stimulates the urge to urinate and therefore toxins are released at a faster rate.
Fresher breath
In addition to fresher breath, lemons help relieve dental pain and gingivitis. Keep in mind that citric acid can erode tooth enamel, so it is best to brush your teeth before drinking lemon juice with water or wait a reasonable amount of time before brushing if you decide to drink it right out of bed.
