They are such a simple and often times looked over fruit due to their sour disposition. However, I have discovered that lemons are one of those amazing super foods. As emphasized in this website http://www.lookgreat-loseweight-savemoney.com/lemon-water.html , lemons not only are great for your skin but also help with weight loss, liver function, breathing issues, sore throats, colds/flu, among other health problems.
The consensus for the best way to utilize lemons in our diets is to squeeze half a lemon into about 8 oz of lukewarm water and drink right before breakfast (although a glass at night is also a good choice).
I started getting hooked on lemon water when I had a sore throat the other day. I knew from some research I have been doing that lemon was a good antiseptic and figured drinking a glass of lemon water with honey (also a great antiseptic) would aid my sore throat. Sure enough, by the time I finished my glass of lemon water with honey, my sore throat was almost completely gone! I was sold!!! I enjoyed the lemon water so much I started to crave, and drink it, on a daily basis, only later to realize the great benefits of what I was doing! I love it when that happens!!!
So, the next time you want to aid your digestion, cure a sore throat in the blink of the eye, are looking for a great way to detox your body, or just want something soothing to drink, then reach for a glass of lemon water!!!
