A cup of warm water with lemon. Seems simple enough, but it is much more than that. The health benefits of drinking warm lemon water are abundant. Try drinking a cup every morning for a few weeks and see if you notice any differences in your skin, digestion and immune system. Here is why you probably will:
Lemons are very alkaline so they help balance out the acid in your digestive system. By drinking warm water with lemon, you can reduce heartburn and rid yourself of impurities in your body. The lemon water is extremely detoxifying.
Lemon water can help clear up your skin. This is because lemons act as natural antiseptics. They are also very high in Vitamin C, which is good for your skin. The lemon water will act as an anti-aging remedy.
Lemon water will help you absorb calcium better. The more your muscles store calcium, the more fat you will be able to burn.
Lemons themselves have other interesting health benefits. For example, applying lemons on to pimples can help clear them up faster. Simply apply the lemon and rub it into the skin. Leave any remaining lemon on your face. If left on overnight, it will make the pimple smaller, if not clear it up completely.
