TEN REASONS TO DRINK LEMON WATER IN THE MORNING

1. Boosts your immune system - Lemons are high in vitamin C and potassium.
2. Balances pH - Lemon is one of the most alkaline foods, and it will reduce your body's overall acidity.
3. Helps with weight loss - Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings.
4. Aids digestion - Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials. Efficient digestion reduces heartburn and constipation.
5. Is a diuretic - Therefore, toxins in your system are released at a faster rate, which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.
6. Clears skin - Vitiman C helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well.
7. Freshens breath - Also can help relieve tooth pain and gingivitis. (Citric acid can erode tooth enamel, though, so monitor this.)
8. Relieves respiratory problems - Warm lemon water helps get rid of chest infections and pesky coughs.
9. Keeps you zen. Vitamin C is one of the first things depleted when you subject your mind and body to stress.
10. Helps kick the coffee habit - For some, a glass of hot lemon water wards off that morning coffee craving.
