Health Benefits of Warm Water and Lemon Juice in Alexandria City and Arlington

Do you tend to pucker up when someone even mentions the word “lemons,” let alone when you actually see them sucking on one?

It’s a natural enough reaction, and one that discourages most people from requesting a glass of lemon juice. Not by itself anyway. Because now, more and more people the world over are learning about the substantial health benefits of drinking a freshly mixed concoction of warm water and freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Here are 8 reasons to consider making a warm water and lemon juice cocktail part of your daily diet:

1. Creates an alkalizing effect in the body. Even if you drink it immediately before a meal, it can help your body maintain a higher level of pH. The higher the pH, the more your body is able to fight diseases.
2. Good for the skin. Vitamin C in lemon improves our skin by rejuvenating the body.
3. Helps to dilute uric acid which, if left unchecked, can lead to joint pain and gout.
4. Beneficial for pregnant women. Loaded with vitamin C, water and lemon juice help women fight off viruses like the common cold. A mixture of water with lemon juice also aids in the formation of the baby’s brain cells and nervous system.
5. Helps dissolve gallstones, kidney stones, pancreatic stones, and calcium deposits.
6. Helps with weight loss.  Lemons contain pectin fiber, which helps suppress hunger cravings.
7. Helps you cope with tooth pain while fighting gingivitis.

Of course, you can help yourself even more if you high quality drinking water on hand to mix with your freshly squeezed lemon juice.
