Lemon water is a simple drink that can have a huge impact on your health. If you start drinking it regularly – ideally first thing in the morning on an empty stomach – your body will thank you. Warm water with lemon has in recent years become a popular ritual for many people who want to kickstart their metabolism, support detoxification of the body and strengthen the immune system.
Why lemon specifically and why in the morning?
The lemon is a commonly available citrus fruit used in the kitchen not only for its flavor but mainly for its health benefits. It contains large amounts of vitamin C, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes. In combination with warm water it acts as a gentle stimulant that:
- supports digestion,
- cleanses the body of toxins,
- alkalizes the body,
- provides hydration and nutrients immediately after waking.
Note: the water should be warm, not hot or cold – the body will absorb it better and it won’t cause a temperature shock.
How to prepare lemon water?
Preparation is very simple:
- Take a glass of warm water (approx. 250 ml).
- Squeeze the juice from half to one lemon.
- Drink it on an empty stomach immediately after waking, before breakfast.
To enhance the effect, you can add a teaspoon of honey or a pinch of Himalayan salt.
