Sip This: 3 Reasons Why Lemon Water Rocks
Lemon and water are a match made in heaven... I've started drinking it every day and feel more energized than ever. After learning about the slew of health benefits associated with drinking water and freshly squeezed lemon juice, I decided to make it a part of my daily diet. Lemons are packed with natural vitamins and minerals that are key to your inner and outer beauty regime as well as your general health.
Here are three reasons why you should pair hot water with lemons ladies:
- It's a natural energizer! It hydrates and oxygenates the body so it feels revitalized and refreshed.
- It's cleansing. According to NaturalNews.com, the citric acid in lemons helps maximize enzyme function, which stimulates the liver and aids in detoxification.
- It aids in digestion. Not only will this killer combination relive indigestion, it will also help flush you out.
Do you drink lemon water?
Also, I just posted a blog about how I am going green for 2012. Check it out here!

P.S. For those of you asking, I usually drink about 12-16 oz of hot water with 1/2 a lemon's juice. But cold water is great too! It really depends on how I'm feeling that day...

I love lemon water :)
I took your advice and try to drink one glass each morning before I head to work. -
DONT FORGET to try and use a straw! The citric acid can eat away at your enamel.

Crissy- It's in the post..."12-16 oz of hot water with 1/2 a lemon's juice" Cut a lemon in half and squeeze out the lemon juice from one half. Save the other half and use it for the next day. Lemonade isn't the same thing and it won't work as it's filled with sugar.

I also love lemon water but I've heard the acidity can be hard on your teeth...anyone know how much is too much for your teeth?-
I read somewhere that one glass in the morning/per day is OK. I've also heard the lemon juice can be bad for your teeth after that though.

LOVE lemon water. I toss sliced lemon and cucumber in my water bottle and also keep a pitcher of it in my fridge at home. It is tasty and has so many health benefits. It keeps my skin hydrated and helps curb hunger between meals. Highly recommend! -
I drink lemon water pretty often and I also put lemon juice on just about everything like baked potatoes and fries its really good even though it might not sound so great! Tall should def try it! :) -
Genius in the morning! I am an early riser and this not only gets me up and out the door but feelings cleansing and healthy!
-

Yummy! I'm going to start doing this! I put cucumber and mint in my water for awhile to help get me to drink more. It worked! I'll do lemons now that i know how awesome it is for you.

ive just started doing this too, ive read that its better to have it neither hot or ice cold water as it destroys the enzymes in the lemons. using bottled lemon juice or putting sugar or sweetener in it just misses the point of this. if its too sour adding some natural honey is a good way to sweeten it, and honey has antiseptic properties too so thats a bonus! -

I starte doing it recently , since they game some lemons... It's hard to come by some lemons where I live, if it's not in season...You're right, I feel more energized, and thought that I would get a stomachace, but It seems that the lemon juice, actually protects the stomach from the gastric juice.

I haven't been doing this regularly but in high school I drank hot lemon water every morning. If you're a singer, it's great for your voice, especially in the winter time when you tend to get sick.

I drink lime water and it's amazingly yummy and refreshing! You should try it and compare the two. I like them both.
-
i have been doing this every day since you posted this, and now i can't imagine my day without it!

I've been drinking water with lemon for years now, I never really knew the benifits but my older sister was doing it so I tried it and i liked the way the water tasted. Now I know that there are benifits and not just a great taste.
