Having a healthy breakfast in the morning is all good and well, but your digestive system also needs to get going and lubed up. This is why having a glass of water to accompany your breakfast is like adding a natural energy drink to your daily routine. Combine the water with some fresh lemon juice and you supercharge the elixir with some potent vitamins and a detoxifying agent.
Vitamin C is extremely important if you want to feel revitalized and energetic. The main reason is that it helps the body absorb iron. Iron, on the other hand, is essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body and oxygen is important for releasing energy. Lemons are very high in vitamin C, thus you give your body a supercharge in the morning if you get into the habit of adding some to your water daily.
In today’s society, we have grown so accustomed to drinking anything but water. The taste of water is off-putting to many people because it has very little flavor. Therefore, they neglect one of the most important substances of their daily diets. Lemon juice adds flavor to water and makes it much less off-putting than having a straight glass.
Many of us lead very stressful lives, which has a direct effect on the health of our hearts. According to a study done in 2011, by including regular citrus intake into your diet, you also reduce the risk of heart disease. More than that, stress also affects the rate at which we age. The vitamin C in lemon juice also has the ability to rejuvenate skin and makes your skin look younger and healthier.
