Lemons…they’re not just an amazing antibacterial and refreshing smell…they’re SOOOO much more!
Lemons are rich in calcium, potassium, pectin fiber and of course Vitamin C as well as traces of iron and vitamin A. This bright yellow fruit has medicinal, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. What?
Okay so why lemon and warm water you might ask??? For starters warm water with lemon in the morning on an empty stomach is a feel-good panacea. It is also VERY helpful for those coming off of Tea or Coffee as well as just amazing for everyone else.
- Reduces heavy periods (it that’s a concern for you, it’s 1 of the most natural solutions.)
- Helps our hormones! 🙂 Harmful estrogens from cleaners, cosmetics, pesticides, and plastics (BPA) can disrupt the delicate balance of our hormones – but not if we start each day off with a tall glass of lemon water!!!
- Alkalizing! Lemons once metabolized by the body create an alkaline environment. More alkalinity helps decrease inflammation, boost metabolism, and reduces cravings! YES!!
- Detoxifying. Lemons contain Citrate which acts as gentle diuretic to help flush out any toxins in the body as well as helps to purify and stimulate the liver.
- Improved digestion. Lemons contain Citrus Flavonoids, a digestive aid that helps to assimilate food, as well as act as a mild appetite suppressant.
- Boosts both Immune system as well a MOOD! Anxiety and depression sometimes result from potassium deficiency in the blood. Lemons have a high potassium content which helps with deficiencies as well as the central nervous system function.
- Helps prevent the common cold & increase immune system. Potassium and Vitamin C also help to prevent the common cold, and Vitamin C protects the body against immune system deficiencies.

JENIUS TIP: AFTER you’re done with your lemon you can throw in your garbage disposal and run the water for a nice, clean, refreshing sink/kitchen. I even rub around the lemon in my sink before I throw it in the disposal to clean all the germs..lemon is a great antibacterial! 🙂
