Hot Water with Lemon

My usual go to drink in the morning is coffee with cream and sugar and at night, it's a glass of wine.   Yum!  But lately I have found the need  to somehow cleanse my system.  I don't want to wake up from dinner and wine the night before to caffeine, dairy and sugar.   Now in no way did I give up coffee and wine as those are two things that make me extremely happy! :)  But I have been trying to add a cup of hot water with lemon in the morning and one at night.  It feels amazing and tastes good too.  Something about the lemon in HOT water makes it sort of sweet.

I went online to search the benefits of this practice and lo and behold there are TONS of benefits.  I found an amazing article on lifemojo.com that listed the top 10 benefits of lemon water.  Good for your stomach, your skin, your colon, controls high blood pressure just to name a few.  You can view the whole article with all the benefits by clicking here.

So start your day off healthy with a cup of hot lemon water before you eat or drink anything else.  Your body will thank you for it!
