Many scientists argue that a glass of hot water with lemon is the healthiest way to start your day. Lemon water is considered a relaxing drink and has many health benefits.
Lemons have vitamin C, which plays an important role in boosting the immune system. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, it eliminates free radicals from the body that can damage cells and lead in conditions such as cancer and arthritis, as it is essential for the growth of cells and tissues. In addition, when toxins are cleared from the blood, the skin is less prone to blemishes and wrinkles. It has antipyretic action and is considered as one of the most effective natural antimicrobials, as it fights various viruses, infections and inflammations. The older generations used it to cure insect and jellyfish bites, as well as to "drop" the high fever.
They are also high in potassium, which stimulates the brain and nervous system. It is an ideal choice to help the heart and, more specifically to regulate blood pressure.
In addition, lemon juice is known to keep the urinary system healthy. Lemons increase the rates of urination in the body. Frequent urination can help flush out toxins, resulting in a healthier urinary system.
Moreover, lemons are an alkaline food. Lemons by themselves can be acidic, but in our body they become alkaline (citric acid does not create acidity in the body when metabolized). As we all know from our school years, an alkaline body is really the key to good health. It is an excellent fruit that helps fight problems such as sore throat and tonsillitis. It has antibacterial action.
However, its action does not stop here. Lemon contributes to the good preservation of blood vessels, benefits vision and helps in better iron absorption. Many people use its juice when they are on a diet. Finally, lemon juice strengthens the gums and benefits the musculoskeletal system. Lemon, by itself, also helps in better absorption of calcium.
As for water it is essential for anyone who wants to be healthy. About 70 percent of a our body weight is made up of water, which is essential for organs and cells to function effectively. Consuming more water helps the body maintain its physical condition at better levels. Hot water, on the other hand, ensures the proper function and stimulation of the digestive system, so that toxins relax and eliminated.
So what are you waiting for? Start your day by drinking hot water with lemon, to enhance your health and proper body function!
