Drinking Hot Water & Lemon in the Morning

According to American nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman, lemons can also be the answer to the question of how one can obtain optimal hydration, improve digestion, boost immunity and, the holy grail of all health goals, lose weight.

Just by swapping out your tea or coffee in the morning for a hot cup of lemon water, people can see the benefits of this super fruit through many aspects of health. To make the drink, to be had first thing in the morning for best results, one should combine the juice of half of one lemon, or 1 tablespoon of 100% organic lemon juice for those who do not have fresh lemons, with a cup of hot water. Drinking this concoction, which can be spruced up to taste with anything from ground cinnamon or ginger--a pinch of each, will give further drive to one's metabolism.

The benefits of drinking lemon water in the early morning is that it stimulates your digestive system and helps the body absorb nutrients. It cleanses the palate before it travels to your stomach and gently flushes your kidneys, lymphatic system and liver of toxins. Lemons are also key in helping your body to metabolize fat.
