How To Get Healthy Skin And A Trim Waistline With Two Ingredients

Lemon water has taken on somewhat of a cult status amongst health enthusiasts and a closer look into the elixir demonstrates why the status is worthy. When it comes to regulating body acidity, lemon water is the ultimate superstar. Drinking a warm glass of water with some freshly squeezed juice in the morning (on an empty stomach) is one the most effective ways of alkalizing the body.

For those who struggle to meet the 2L a day requirement, adding freshly squeezed lemon into your water provides a colour free, additive free, chemical free flavoring option. While it may be easy to make excuses for not drinking enough water, the health effects of prolonged dehydration and inadequate water intake are far from a laughing matter.

Apart from impaired concentration, memory loss, muscles cramps, dry skin and kidney problems, inadequate water intake means our bowels are unable to cleanse properly leaving waste to build up on the colon walls and increasing the risk of colon and bowel cancer.  

Drinking lemon water is one of the easiest and most effective ways of reducing hunger. Due to the presence of pectin fibres found in the fruit, reaching for a glass of lemon-infused water is more likely to reduce your food cravings than a calorie loaded snack. Keeping your hydration up will also ensure you are not confusing thirst for hunger, one of the most common mistakes individuals make during their weight loss quest. 

When it comes to sticking to your new health and wellness plans, out of sight is often out of mind. Why not opt for a water infuser you can leave on your desk. Before you know it the 2L a day mark will be easily surpassed.
