did you know: lemon water

I recently watched a documentary called Food Matters. You may have seen this or heard about it. It talks about how our bodies are designed to fight disease and illness. They are designed to help us through physical AND mental health issues. They just need the right nutrition to do the job! I'm convinced if we ate the right things we wouldn't have half the health problems we do today. So...now and then I'm going to share tidbits of information I'm learning about certain foods and how they give our body what it needs to heal and thrive.

First up: LEMON WATER...

Drinking a warm glass of lemon water in the morning and the evening helps cleanse out your system. Dr. Gillian McKeith states, "A warm cup of water first thing in the morning (and even better with a squeeze of lemon) goes right through the bowels and cleans mucus out from the day before. Drink another cup in the evening too." Many detoxes suggest drinking lemon water throughout the day to also boost weight loss. Lemon water can also relieve heartburn, gas, cramping, and help regulate excessive menstruation!
