summer drink LEMON WATER


Lemons have amazing health benefits. I have been trying to have daily a large glass 
or two of water with a slice of lemon and a slice of lime.

 Start your day with a glass of water and some lemon will help rid your body of built up toxins, 
help get the kidneys and entire digestive system to optimum health and performance. It also eliminates 
joint and muscle aches.

Here are more benefits from a favourite read bella MUMMA 

The practice of drinking lemon water has its origin in Traditional Chinese Medicine that relies on 
nature's produce to prevent and treat health problems. Lemons are amazing, the contain large 
amounts of nutrients such as Vitamin C, magnesium, potassium and calcium.

Add it to your water and these are the benefits...

It will boost your immune system: Because of its rich Vitamin-C content, lemon water strengthens 
your immune system and helps prevents illness. Vitamin-C also has healing properties - when 
taken frequently during the day, lemon water has been known to hasten the healing of wounds and infections.


It will support your digestive system: Your digestive system relies on a number of enzymes and 
digestive juices to break down food particles into basic nutrients to nourish your body. Often, this 
system is hampered by an unhealthy consumption of fat, sugar, salt and food additives, making your 
colon sluggish. When this happens, you may suffer constipation or irregular bowel movement. 
Lemon water helps your liver to produce bile which digests fat for easier absorption and elimination.


It will promote clear skin: Your inner health is reflected on the surface of your skin. Depending on what 
you feed your body, what you eat or drink may nourish or be harmful to your skin. Toxins trapped in your 
colon eventually find their way to other body parts as well as your skin. This triggers acne flare-ups or 
skin rashes due to allergies. Drinking lemon water effectively cleans your bowel of harmful waste and 
toxins so that with regular consumption, your skin will be healthy and blemish-free.


THE BEST TIME TO HAVE YOUR WATER WITH LEMON  While lemon water may be taken at any time 
of the day, many people swear by the amazing benefits of drinking lemon water first thing in the morning. 
Your body is literally on a fast while you are asleep and is in a mild state of dehydration when you wake up. 
Unlike coffee which is loaded with the diuretic caffeine, lemon water can re-hydrate your body within minutes 
of drinking it.

Many people feel energised quickly after drinking lemon water in the morning, and drinking lemon water 
before anything else in the morning stimulates your bowel to eliminate accumulated waste.
Fix yourself a glass of lemon water every morning by adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon 

juice to a glass of warm water. 


I am going to make a huge pitcher for all the family to enjoy.


Happy Saturday xx
