We all know lemons and strawberries are really good for us, but did you know adding those two ingredients to warm water in the morning could provide many health benefits? I kept hearing all this hype about the benefits of drinking a warm glass of lemon water every morning, and I decided to try it out for myself. I noticed a difference the first day and was excited about the results, but I had to add my own twist to it. I decided to put a spin on the lemon water and added some organic strawberries to it and that was even better. So here are 7 reasons you should drink strawberry lemon water regularly.
Cut Back On OR Kick The Caffeine – There are many of us that claim we need our coffee or espresso in the morning to get us going. I was an avid coffee drinker and I knew it was time to cut back or kick it completely. As soon as I woke up I drank a bottle of the strawberry lemon water, and it didn’t take too long before I felt more awake and alert. I found myself drinking less coffee throughout the day and more water.
Lose Weight – Lemons contain pectin fiber which is what helps your body fight back hunger cravings. The energy provided will help you be more active which will lead to weight loss.
Natural Detox – After you have been sick or maybe after eating some food that’s not so good for you, this drink is good for flushing out your system. Lemons and strawberries both contain antioxidants, which helps cleanse the body of free radicals. Lemons contain enhancing enzymes that stimulate the liver and cleanse the body of toxins.
Brain Booster – Potassium stimulates your brain and nerve function. I noticed that my mind felt a little clearer after drinking the water. Not only was my mind clearer, but I was more focused and in the zone.
Reduces Inflammation – I have some pinched nerves and sometimes deal with muscle spasms and soreness. This drink really helped ease the inflammation in my body! It was like a full body anti-inflammatory.
Natural Energy Drink – The vitamin C your body takes in will provide you with a natural energy boost. I used to drink energy drinks, but this strawberry lemon water is even better because there is no crash and burn to experience.
Strengthen Immune System – Both strawberries and lemons are packed full of immune boosting vitamins and minerals. This drink will keep you from getting sick while building your immunity up. If I feel a cold coming on I simply drink extra strawberry lemon water and battle the bug.
Both lemons and strawberries are beneficial to our health in many ways. If you make this drink part of your morning ritual you will notice a difference in your overall health. I have a feeling that once you incorporate this drink into your life it will be something you have regularly.
