Everyone should be doing it!

Drinking a warm glass of lemon water first thing in the morning is one of the easiest ways to improve your overall health. This must be done before you ingest any other liquid or food.

Just squeeze one half of a fresh, organic lemon into a glass of warm, pure water. The water cannot be overly hot or ice cold. From an Ayurvedic perspective, warm liquids and foods fire up the digestive system when they hit the tongue. Cold items stop digestion dead in its tracks. Therefore, make sure that the water is warm. It gets your digestive system ready to tackle any oncoming food and liquids.

Does drinking lemon water burn fat? Yes, it can. First of all, lemon water improves the overall process of digestion. Lemon juices are similar to, and mimic, the digestive fluids in your saliva and stomach. Lemon water also signals the liver to start producing bile, enhancing digestion even further. Lemon water can help ignite toxin-fighting within the body.

Lemon juice helps balance the pH levels in the stomach and can possibly reduce indigestion and stomach/digestive tract aches throughout the day. Once processed in the body, lemon juice is alkaline. The citric acid of the lemons does not produce acidity once it is completely metabolized by our digestive system…
