Water, water, water! I've touted it before on my blog, and I will surely tout it again. There are few things better for your body than this lovely, clean simple liquid. Wake up in the morning and start your day with a yummy glass. Nutritionists say that if you change nothing in a poor to mildly healthy diet, but to drink lots of water (especially starting your day first thing with a glass ), your liver will detoxify 50% better and you will see many visible health changes.
Today's little tip is for the upcoming cold weather days. I used to find myself craving hot soup, an extra cup of coffee, hot chocolate or herbal teas (which are nice) throughout out the day during the colder months. That is, until I started cutting up a fresh organic lemon and always having a container at my work place and in my fridge at home. With my water drinking quotient slightly declining in the fall/winter due to cold weather (even though I drink it room temp), I find drinking hot water with lemon is a wonderful alternative to help to keep me toasty and warm when I have a chill. It also keeps my up my water intake.
I realize the concept of hot water with lemon is not anything new, but how many of you really have fresh lemon accessible easily at work? Lemon also keeps your skin vibrant and healthy. So, next daytime reach for coffee or teas, try doing a simple hot water with lemon. Yummy and clean!
