levels
You often hear about how toxins enter your system everyday
from everywhere from sources like the pollutants
in the air you breathe, the water you
drink and the chemicals in the cosmetics
you use, not to speak of the harmful chemicals
in the additives in your food, pesticides used to grow your food and the
antibiotics and other substances in the medicines you take etc.
Needless to say, the toxins that enter your system are going
to have harmful effects on your metabolism and hormones thereby weakening your
digestive system, depleting your energy through various ways and ultimately
affecting your body.
You can mitigate the harmful effect of these toxins by quickly
eliminating at least some of these toxins by taking a simple, inexpensive and
easily available health drink that can be prepared in seconds. Yes, I am
talking about lemon juice.
After getting up from sleep every morning, squeeze one small
lemon fruit or half a large lemon fruit into 8 to 10 ounces of pure water, mix
the contents well and drink. It will be better if you drink the juice raw, without
adding salt or sugar. Make this the first thing you consume in the morning and
don’t take any other food at least for 15 minutes.
Use fresh lemon, not bottled lemon juice. Organic lemons
made without using pesticides will be better, if you can get them.
It may interest you to know that though lemon is acidic (it
contains Citric Acid), the acidity disappear once the food is metabolized. In
fact, the minerals contained in lemon help make your blood alkaline. Since
people, in general, develop too much acidity due to consumption of sugar in the
form of various drinks, this property of lemon is beneficial to the body.
Lemon has several beneficial effects on the body. It
contains antibacterial substances that improve your immunity. Lemon also improves
digestion and cleanses the liver.
Specifically, drinking
fresh lemon juice on an empty stomach in the morning can help you three
definite benefits.
