Lemon Water Health Benefits! Alkalising, Hydrating, Cleansing!

Lemon water is one of my favourite alkalising fruits. First thing in the morning I love them infused in my distilled water. And during the day I have more then one cup of hot distilled water with a couple of slices of lemon. The temperature helps extract the good stuff like Vitamin C and Polyphenols from both, the lemon and of course it’s peel. Make sure they are unwaxed and organic to avoid pesticides and other toxic substances they may be sprayed with.
Lemon Peel consists of two layers: the outer zest and a white inner layer, the pith. Surprisingly, it’s this zest and pith which contain high amazing levels of valuable antioxidants, in actual fact, more than lemon juice itself.

Lemons are quite often promoted as a weight loss food. It seems like yesterday when I did my 10-Day-Master-Cleanse, freshly squeezed organic lemon juice was all I had for 10-days followed by 3-days of only freshly squeezed organic orange juice.

I don’t know about you, but personally I am one of those people who drink lemon water on an empty stomach as a daily morning routine. It alkalises my system. Makes me feel extremely awake and gives me amazing energy! My body loves it.

 

Health Benefits of Lemons! 

 

  • lemons are a good source of vitamin C
  • support a healthy heart
  • controls weight
  • prevention of Kidney Stones
  • protection against anemia
  • reducing risks of cancer
  • aids digestive health
  • laxative to prevent constipation
  • improves your skin health
  • hydrating & detoxing
  • freshens your breath
  • gets rid of headaches

TIP:

 

Rather then use them as they are, perhaps you like to try to gently, but with a little bit of pressure to roll a lemon/lime/orange between your hands or on a work surface before juicing as it yields more juice. Unwaxed, organic lemons make the ideal choice if you want to use the lemon zest or add lemon slices to water. If only waxed lemons are available, gently scrub the peel before use.

 

Above All, Always Remember:

“Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline body!”

If life gives me lemons, I certainly make the most of them!

DON’T discard the rind!

The rind is as beneficial as the rest of your watermelon. Natures best sources of chlorophyll and it contains one of the highest levels of natural sodium there is. Juice the rind for a delicious, refreshing let alone healing drink. Make sure it’s organic though!

Seeds, seeds, seeds!

Consider it your lucky day when your delicious organic watermelon has black seeds. You can add them to your melon juice and blend them up at the same time. They are awesome in relaxing the body and nervous system. The seeds are full of protein, zinc, fibre and iron and they are amazing at lowering high blood pressure.

Fun Fact!

Watermelon is over 90 percent mostly water. So with the summer on its way eating watermelon is an awesome way to stay hydrated to avoid dehydration. But remember, it’s NOT a substitute for drinking lots of fresh filtered water.

This for sure is one of my favourite juices in the summer!
