Drinking lemon water is regarded by many professional nutritionists as having real and palpable
weight-loss powers. Far from a weight loss myth, but, rather, a weight loss reality, drinking
lemon water helps to speed up weight loss. In addition to possessing properties that are favorable
to weight loss, drinking lemon water also ensures that some of the toxins in your body are
cleaned out, promotes quick bursts of energy and even cleans out some of your internal waste. If
you drink lemon water in the morning especially, it will help to activate your body's detoxifying
process and also its natural cleansing process. This principle works proportionally, so the more
lemon water you drink, the more you ought to speed up weight loss.
Advantages to Drinking Lemon Water
Drinking lemon water has shown demonstrable results in terms of weight loss, and the reasons
for that are very easy to understand. First of all, the combination of lemon and water is one that
is made up of natural ingredients; natural substances (those without any kind of additives,
preservatives or processed elements) are the healthiest for the human body. Due to lemon water
being natural, it adds no calories to your body each time you drink it. Think of it in this way:
Let's say you replace whatever you enjoy drinking daily with lemon water. This could be
anything as innocuous as fruit juice or really unhealthy stuff like soda. Even fruit juices contain
calories, but lemon water has zero. Imagine further that you replace the drinks with lemon water
every day for months or even a year. This absence of calories you would otherwise take in from
other kinds of drinks will go a long way to helping you lose weight.
Cleans out Your Waste Better
If your colon is not cleansed properly, there is lingering waste that can build up and, among other
things, contribute to raising the risk of colon cancer over time. This buildup of lingering waste
also adds weight to your body, so if you drink lemon water regularly, it's cleaned out of your

2. bowels with greater frequency. The result of this is that you will lose some weight just from the
removal of this lingering waste. Lemon water also helps out the digestive system by reducing the
chances for diarrhea and constipation, because it promotes fluid bowel functions.
Reduces Hunger Cravings
Because of pectin fiber's present in lemon, lemon water has the effect of reducing your hunger. If
you have tried to kill your appetite in the past with such drinks such as coffee or tea, try lemon
water from now on, and also get the benefit of zero calories when you drink it. Together with its
property of cleaning out your colon, lemon water's effect on your hunger cravings is a one-two
combination in the effort to help you reduce weight.
Bumps up the vitamin C quotient
Since your body doesn’t make vitamin C on its own, it’s important to get enough of it from the
foods and drinks you ingest. Luckily, lemons are chock-full of the vitamin.
What are the benefits of getting enough vitamin C? It stimulates white blood cell production,
vital for your immune system to function properly. As an antioxidant, vitamin C also protects
cells from oxidative damage. Plus, getting enough vitamin C helps the immune system keep
colds and flu at bay. Drinking lemon water daily ensures your body gets a sizable amount of
vitamin C daily.
Rejuvenates skin and heals the body
The antioxidants found in vitamin C do double duty in lemon water. They fight damage caused
by free radicals, keeping your skin looking fresh. Getting enough vitamin C from your lemon
water also keeps the body producing collagen, essential in smoothing out lines in the face. And,
in one recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, regularly consuming
vitamin C led to younger-looking skin and less wrinkles.

3. Boosts energy and mood
Skip the morning cup of coffee — lemon water can boost energy levels without the caffeine
crash. Here’s how it works: Our bodies get energy from the atoms and molecules in foods. When
negative-charged ions, like those found in lemons, enter your digestive tract, the result is an
increase in energy levels.
Additionally, just the scent of a lemon has been found to reduce stress levels and improve
moods. Don’t forget to offer a glass to family members.
Excellent source of potassium
Lemons are high in potassium, which is good for heart health, as well as brain and nerve function. It is
also a great source citric acid, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. The potassium content in lemon
helps nourish brain and nerve cells.
Freshens your breath
It also helps relieve toothaches and gingivitis. Because the citric acid can erode tooth enamel,
either hold off on brushing your teeth after drinking lemon water or brush your teeth before
drinking it.
Reduces inflammation
If you drink lemon water on a regular basis, it will decrease the acidity in your body, which is
where disease states occur. It removes uric acid in your joints, which is one of the main causes of
inflammation.
Helps fight viral infections and Fight respiratory infections
Warm lemon water is the most effective way to diminish viral infections and their subsequent
sore throats. Plus, with the lemon juice also boosting your immune system, you’ll simultaneously
fight off the infection completely. It also helps to maintain the health of the eyes and helps fight
against eye problems. Lemon water can help you battle everything from sore throats to tonsil
inflammation, thanks to the anti-inflammatory property of lemon.

gallstones, pancreatic stones and calcium deposits as well.

– a substance prevalent in lemon.

Wow!!! It’s true. Everybody has heard about the importance of drinking water. However,
most people are not aware about drinking warm and hot water. Here are the benefits you
didn’t expect;

calming and soothing effect on the abdominal muscles, which eventually can help to cure
cramps and spasms.

body temperature begins to rise, which results in sweat. You want this to happen because
it helps to release toxins from your body and cleanse it properly. For optimal results, add
a squeeze of lemon before drinking.

skin and are affected by harmful free radicals. Subsequently, your damaged skin becomes
smoother.

which is important for proper muscle and nerve activity. In addition, it keeps your
nervous system healthy by breaking down the fat deposits around it.
11. Digestion.
Hot water is particularly beneficial for digestion. Studies have shown that drinking cold
water during or after a meal can harden the oil present in the consumed foods. This can
create a fat deposit on the inner wall of your intestine, which can eventually result in
intestinal cancer. However, if you replace the glass of cold water with hot, you can avoid

8. this problem. In addition, hot water is beneficial to digestion, which is what you want
after a meal.
12. Bowel Movements
Speaking of digestion, hot water can help to keep you regular, as well as make your
bowel movements healthy and pain free. Dehydration can result in chronic problems with
constipation. As the stool gets accumulated inside your intestine, the movement of the
bowel becomes slower. It is always recommended that you consume a glassful of hot or
warm water every morning when your stomach is empty. It decomposes any remnant
foodstuffs and makes the movement of the particles smooth and less painful through the
intestine.
