10 reasons why we should drink lemon water every day…
I’d like to give you a recipe that is quick to make, but also a definite health-booster! One of the cheapest “medicines” is lemon or lime mixed with lukewarm water.
Books could be written about why, but I’ve picked a few:
- It is high in vitamin C and citrus flavonoids, which provide powerful support for the immune system.
- it is an excellent alkalizer, and alkaline is known to be the deadly enemy of cancer.
- Extremely invigorating (beats coffee).
- Reduces high blood pressure.
- is rich in potassium, which helps the brain and nervous system to function normally. Potassium also has a positive effect on heart function.
- contains calcium and magnesium, which are also necessary for a healthy heart.
- aids in bowel function and relaxation.
- aids digestion and regulates the production of stomach acid.
- helps reduce uric acid levels, thus playing an important role in the prevention of joint pain.
- Cleanses the liver, enhances its function and regulates the production of bile, and promotes liver enzyme production more than any other food or drink.
And much more.
Ingredients:
- 1 lemon squeezer
- 1 lemon
- 2 l bottle
- 2 litres of water
- 1 funnel
Preparation:
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze both halves firmly. It’s very important to spoon any lemon juices (full of bioflavoniod – critical) that are stuck on the strainer into the squeezed lemon juice. Once this is done, use the funnel to pour it into the 2L flask and then top up with water. That’s it. If you like, you can turbo-charge it with some ascorbic acid (also known as vitamin C, available from pharmacies for a couple of hundred forints) and you’ve got your own home-made, ‘survival-super-healthy’ drink!
Consumption:
There is no specific consumption recommendation, just make sure it is gone by the end of the day. Oh, and this is for 1 person, so it’s not worth cheating to share with others! 🙂 Also, depending on your body weight, you may want to drink 1-3 litres of other liquids (soup, fruit, plain water) with it.
Lemon or lime juice mixed with lukewarm water is one of the best and cheapest ways to stay healthy and alkalize your body! If you consume 1 bottle of this every day, it is safe to say that you will have eliminated 60% of illnesses! So it’s definitely worth a try, as the effects are extraordinary.
Try it!
