Juice up your morning with this daily Vitamin-C ritual:
When you wake, treat yourself to a cup of hot water and lemon juice! Jumpstart your digestive system, increase metabolism, flush out toxins, balance pH and promote immunity with this alkalizing routine.

Hot Lemon Water

• Simply boil a cup of water.
• Slice a lemon in half and squeeze juice into water.
• Drink on an empty stomach. Water should be as warm as you can handle it without burning your tongue.
• I use a citrus juicer to squeeze a large batch of lemons then freeze several pint jars of juice so I always have backstock ready to go!
• If you get into the routine of drinking this every day, be sure to drink it through a metal straw to save the enamel on your teeth.

Benefits of Drinking Hot Lemon Water

• Boosts immune system
• Improves digestion
• Removes toxins from the blood
• Keeps skin clear
• Controls blood sugar
• Stimulates brain and nerve function
• Balances pH: Even though lemon is an acidic food, once it is metabolized, it has an alkalizing effect which promotes healthy cell function and creates a less hospitable environment for viruses and bacteria.
