Benefits Of Drinking Warm Lemon Water


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 Water Nutrition Facts


Lemons are loaded with healthy benefits, and particularly, they’re a great vitamin C food source. One cup of fresh lemon juice provides 187 percent of your daily recommended serving of vitamin C — take that, oranges! Lemon juice also offers up a healthy serving of potassium, magnesium and copper. 
Check out what other benefits one cup of fresh lemon juice adds to a plain glass of water. Here are some lemon water nutrition facts:
~ 61 calories
~ 3 grams protein
~ 6 grams sugar
~ 0 grams fat
~ 112 milligrams vitamin C
~ 303 milligrams potassium
~ 31.7 micrograms folate
~ 0.1 milligrams vitamin B6
~ 0.1 milligrams thiamin
~ 0.1 milligrams copper
~ 1 gram fiber
~ 14.6 milligrams magnesium
~ 0.4 milligrams vitamin E 
Here are the reasons why you should drink this magical drink:

Reduces inflammation.

If you drink lemon water on a regular basis, it will decrease the acidity in your body, which is where disease states occur. It removes uric acid in your joints, which is one of the main causes of inflammation.

Aids digestion.

Lemon juice not only encourages healthy digestion by loosening toxins in your digestive tract, it helps to relieve symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, burping, and bloating.

Brain Food

This little yellow fruit is rich in potassium which is considered brain food.

Improves your skin

The high vitamin C content would help here, but the overall cleansing, detoxifying, antibiotic and antioxidant effects are likely to be even more important.

Reduce bad breath

The high antioxidant and antibiotic compounds may also help reduce body odor over time. There really are a lot of good reasons to start your day with the freshly squeezed juice of a lemon in a glass of water.

Detoxifies

If you’re haven’t heard about “The Master Cleanse”, this is basically a diet that consists of only drinking lemon water mixed with honey, cayenne pepper or maple syrup for an extended period of time.
This method may not work for everyone but I’d like to point out that this method takes advantage the citric acid present in lemon that will help flush toxins from the colon, gallbladder and liver that otherwise would be absorbed by the body.
