According to Carefair, as reported on Thursday (1/28/2010), combining lemon with water can offer additional health benefits. These include reducing heartburn, relieving bloating and digestive issues, purifying the liver and kidneys, and even acting as a natural skin cleanser and smoother.
The most effective way to enjoy lemon water is by using warm water. Extremely cold or hot water can require more energy from the body to absorb and process the beverage, while warm water facilitates digestion and the absorption of nutrients.
Creating lemon water is a simple process. Squeeze the juice from two lemons and add it to a glass filled with warm water. For a more robust flavor, consider including lemon slices in the drink.
While a small amount of sugar or honey can be added for sweetness, moderation is key. Ideally, lemon juice should be consumed without sweeteners. Starting your day with a cup of lemon juice is a wholesome way to kickstart your morning.
