Morning Rituals

Packed with so much goodness, who wouldn’t want to start the day with such a fabulous good-morning-drink?

Hot lemon water can heal, clear toxins, balance those pH levels, reduce inflammation, and rejuvenate that beautiful skin of yours.

Check out why starting your day with a small cup of hot lemon water will have you saying YES to a new morning ritual!

  • Boost your Vitamin C intake and support the immune system! Drinking hot lemon water supplies your body with antioxidants and hydrating electrolytes, such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Lemons are high in Vitamin C, which is great for fighting off colds and illness. Potassium stimulates brain and nerve function and helps control blood pressure. So why not reach for a hot drink that benefits your body?!
  • After a long slumber, your body wants a healthy jump-start! Drinking lemon water helps get that digestive system moving. It interacts with various enzymes to help your body absorb nutrients as the stomach breaks down foods, thereby ensuring better digestion. Hot lemon water can also relieve heartburn and bloating.
  • Your gorgeous skin needs attention too! Lemons have natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties that help cleanse from the inside out, and simply make for a great acne treatment. All the Vitamin C you get from citrus fruits plays an important role in repairing damaged cells and boosting skin elasticity (collagen synthesis).
  • Keeping inflammation and pH balance in check are two key components to a long-lasting healthy lifestyle! Lemon water is one small remedy that can be used to help with joint and muscle pain. The warm drink assists in dissolving uric acid buildup, which promotes healthier joints. Reducing inflammation innately improves athletic performance. Citrus fruits, such as lemons, are naturally acidic, but the composition after digestion is alkalizing. Alkaline foods lower body pH to naturally promote health and prevent disease.

Make it a happy and healthy day! Take care with a little self-care…you are worth it!
