Start your day with a glass of lemon infused water

Adequate hydration is essential for your body, skin, and health. Today, we’re sharing 10 good reasons why you should start your day with a large glass of lemon water:

🍋HYDRATION: Lemon water not only provides your body with vital, health-promoting fluids, but also with good bioavailable minerals.

🍋METABOLISM: Lemon water has a positive effect on metabolism and digestion. It is best to drink your lemon water immediately after waking up. The acids in the lemon support the stomach, promote protein digestion, stimulate bile production, and thus optimize the body's fat burning.

🍋IMMUNE SYSTEM: The vitamin C found in lemons is a true immune booster. Furthermore, lemon juice contains the highest amount of citrates, which in turn have an alkalizing effect on the body. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and fulfills important functions in the body as a vital biofactor. It is not only involved in metabolic processes, but also increases the production of antibodies, for example. Since the body can neither produce it itself nor store it for long periods, it must be continuously supplied through food.

🍋HEALTH: Prevent acid deposits in joints and organs. The alkalizing effect of citrates prevents uric acid deposits, e.g., in the form of kidney stones or uric acid crystals in the joints. Lemon water is essentially like a detergent in the morning that thoroughly flushes and relieves your body.

🍋DETOX: Known from Hollywood is the Master Cleanse, a lemon juice cure for targeted, temporary detoxification and purification of the body. However, even those who do not want to do an entire cure can benefit noticeably from consuming their morning lemon juice daily. Lemon juice has a diuretic effect, relieves the detoxification organs, and accelerates the removal of toxins, waste products, and excess water. This can also relieve the tissue.

🍋GLOWY SKIN: Both hydration and the detoxifying, purifying, alkalizing effect, and the contained vitamins have a positive effect on your complexion. The alkalizing and anti-inflammatory effect promotes the healthy balance of the body and thus also the balance of our largest metabolic organ—the skin. Vitamin C supports collagen synthesis, which has a positive effect on connective tissue, among other things; additionally, antioxidants protect against free radicals. If the body lacks vitamin C, the connective tissue becomes brittle. Vitamin C is therefore not only important for building and maintaining the skin and for wound healing, but also for intact connective tissue and elastic joints. Starting the day with a glass of lemon water is therefore a good building block for your daily vitamin intake.

🍋BALANCING: Although lemon tastes acidic, it has an alkalizing effect on our body according to the acid-base model: the fruit acids contained are quickly broken down in the body, leaving behind alkaline minerals (such as potassium and magnesium), which make the lemon an alkalizing food. In addition, the body's own base formation is stimulated, thereby promoting the production of alkaline bile.

🍋ANTIOX: The lemon contains health-promoting substances such as vitamin C and activating fruit acids, and also acts as an antioxidant. Antioxidants counteract harmful oxidation processes and oxidative stress in the body by neutralizing free radicals and reactive oxygen species. In this way, they protect cells from oxidative stress, which, among other things, promotes skin aging.

🍋ANTI-INFLAMMATORY: Lemon has an anti-inflammatory effect, supports mucous membrane regeneration, and promotes gastrointestinal health.

🍋BODY SHAPING: Thanks to its digestive, metabolism-stimulating, deacidifying, and purifying properties, lemon water naturally supports weight loss. If you use not only the fruit juice but also the zest of (untreated organic) lemon peel when preparing lemon water, the body additionally benefits from activating polyphenols that support fat loss in the body.
