We've hung up our HAPPY NEW YEAR Crowns and the hungover has worn off, although their may or may not still be a trail of confetti leading to my front door...
January is the perfect time to start detoxing and eating/drinking clean again and getting rid of all the crap left over in your body from the Holidays.
Lemon water is the cheapest, easiest drink to detox your system and flush out toxins. If any of you have ever done the Mega Cleanse they recommend a lot of hot lemon/cayenne pepper and honey waters to kick start your metabolism, get you drinking water and give you all the benefits of that shiny yellow Lemon.
Lemons are vitamin C rich citrus fruits that enhance your beauty, by rejuvenating skin from within bringing a glow to your face. One of the major health benefits of drinking lemon water is that it paves way for losing weight faster, thus acting as a great weight loss remedy. Lemon water flushes out body toxins and is extremely beneficial for the body. Warm lemon water serves as the perfect ‘good morning drink’, as it aids the digestive system and makes the process of eliminating the waste products from the body easier. It prevents the problem of constipation and diarrhea, by ensuring smooth bowel functions.
Lemon, a fruit popular for its therapeutic properties, helps maintain your immune system and thus, protects you from the clutches of most types of infections. It also plays the role of a blood purifier. Lemon is a fabulous antiseptic and limewater juice also works wonders for people having heart problems, owing to its high potassium content.
