Why You Should Drink Lemon Water in The Morning

1. Hydration

Drinking water first thing in the morning helps immediately rehydrate the body and adding a little lemon to water can help you drink more of it during the day.

2. ALERTNESS

Being dehydrated makes us feel lethargic. In addition to your morning coffee (or however you take your caffeine), pair it with a glass of lemon water.

3. DIGESTION

The acidity of lemon water stimulates healthy digestion and helps reduce bloating or indigestion during the day.

4. VITAMIN C

Lemons are a rich source of flavonoids and antioxidant vitamin C, an immune booster that also helps protect our skin from aging and sun damage.

5. POTASSIUM

Lemons are also a good source of potassium, an essential mineral for bone and heart health.

Start your morning with a glass of lemon water and keep a few sliced lemons in the fridge to add to water during the day!
