What a great way to wake up!

Do you drink lemon juice in warm water each morning?

It’s a good idea because it helps to wake up your digestive system and liver and improve your metabolic rate for the day. It also helps to promote good digestion and glowing skin.

Did you know that many of the most beneficial compounds in lemons are found in the peel and the white pith just under the skin? One such compound is called limonene. Some research has shown this compound has the ability to inhibit the growth and spread of cancerous tumors, by promoting the death of cancer cells.

Therefore, my message is to steep some lemon rind in your drinking water, and include some lemon zest in salads and your cooking. The health benefits of lemons are not solely found in the juice.

Just remember that lemons are high in acid and can wear away your tooth enamel. Therefore it’s best to rinse your mouth with water afterwards, or have something to eat and allow the saliva in your mouth to cleanse your teeth of residual acids. Some people drink their lemon water through a straw, which reduces the contact of the acid with your teeth.
