I drink lemon water every morning for 30
days see what happened to me I've been
concerned about my weight for as long as
I can remember always looking for more
and more effective ways to lose a couple
of pounds so when I read that lemon
water can make it happen I didn't really
hold out too much hope
however this little experiment quickly
turned into something that changed my
appearance completely but before you
hear about the rest of my journey don't
forget to hit subscribe and ring the
notification bell to join us on the
bright side of life before I began my
experiment I did a little research as it
turns out lemons are packed with
numerous vitamins minerals vitamins and
antioxidants according to the world's
healthiest foods just a quarter cup of
lemon juice contains 31% of our
recommended daily vitamin C intake with
an additional 3% of full weight which is
good for your heart and 2% of potassium
which balances your blood pressure so it
seemed like a great idea to combine it
with water to not only maintain bodily
fluids but control calories as well this
hot combo was quickly named one of the
best homemade drinks for detoxifying the
body moreover as more and more people
started to get involved it turned out
that lemon water can shield our bodies
from some serious problems kidney stones
for example as the source of citric acid
that according to UW Health decreases
the risk of getting new calcium stones a
half cup of lemon water alone contains
the same amount of citric acid as
prescription varieties experts from the
Edison Institute of nutrition also
confirm lemon waters beneficial effects
and recommend drinking it in the morning
on an empty stomach
and that's exactly what I did I woke up
squeeze the juice of half a lemon mixed
it with 1/3 of a cup of boiling water
and 1/4 cup of cold filtered water to
reach a perfect balance drank it and ate
my breakfast and it wasn't long before I
started to see some serious changes the
first thing I noticed was that my
digestive system started to wake up
instantly even before I finished my
drink before the experiment I was rarely
hungry in the morning often skipping
breakfast even if I did eat my portions
were very small now my belly growls and
asks for food almost immediately and I
started to enjoy breakfast way more as I
later learned this is all thanks to
lemons ability to jumpstart our
digestive process after a long night's
rest another thing that surprised me was
how much my mood changed after drinking
lemon water I used to be a hardcore
night owl who couldn't stand mornings
but after 30 days of the experiment
everything changed
so I guess lemon water not only wakes
your body up but also lifts your mood
and I never thought that I would say
this but morning hours really started to
grow on me after the second week of
regular lemon water consumption my skin
significantly improved it's not like it
was terrible before but I still had
blackheads post acne spots and
occasional pimples now the condition of
my skin is way better and I'm still
working on it but here's another nice
fact according to dermatologists lemon
water can help with wrinkles too the
antioxidants that lemons contain
prevents cellular damage and protect the
skin from free radicals that lead to
aging lemons are also rich in vitamin C
and have some powerful antibacterial
properties that work wonders when it
comes to fighting infections
unfortunately I'm one of those people
who often get sick but I feel like
drinking lemon water regularly has made
my immune system a bit stronger since
the moment I made it part of my daily
routine I felt sick only once and it
quickly went away
another nice effective lemon water is
fresh breath nothing much but it's still
very pleasant
finally the biggest achievement of my
experiment was something I was looking
forward to a whole long weight loss
after just three weeks of drinking lemon
water
I lost nearly 20 pounds I'm almost at my
ideal weight and I can already see my
body changing especially my belly the
thing is one of lemon waters endless
benefits is that it cuts down the
bloating that we can wrongly perceive as
excess weight as a result there's a good
chance that drinking it daily will make
your stomach perfectly flat
either way you definitely won't be
disappointed with the final results if
you want to follow in my footsteps and
try drinking lemon water daily there are
a couple more things you have to know in
general lemon water is safe for your
body however it still contains citric
acid which can hurt sensitive tooth
enamel the solution is simple always
drink lemon water through a straw and
don't forget to rinse your mouth
afterward if you have any teeth problems
it's better to visit your dentist before
proceeding with this experiment
drinking simple lemon water for 30 days
straight can become boring from time to
time so whenever I got tired of it I
just replaced it with different
variations don't worry it won't hurt the
weight loss process or any other
improvements that your body is going
through on the contrary every lemon
water variation has unique benefits that
your body will certainly love first off
try cucumber lemon water
thinly slice half a lemon and a quarter
of a cucumber and add them to water with
a bit of ice let it sit in the fridge
for a couple of minutes and it's ready
cucumbers are loaded with potassium
which lowers blood pressure reduces
puffiness which let's be real we all
need in the morning and boost metabolism
and lemons to the mix and you'll get the
perfect detox drink another one of my
personal favorites is warm lemon water
with honey if you want to try it boil 1
cup of water and add the juice of one
medium lemon and 2 teaspoons of honey if
you do everything right the honey will
dissolve let it cool for a bit and it'll
be perfectly fine to drink it's better
to use organic honey for this recipe
since it has more healthy elements and
nutrients which your body can use as
fuel this low-calorie drink will
detoxify your body just
as efficiently as simple lemon water and
it will provide additional help with
melting fat and making your skin perfect
pairing lemon with mint is also a good
idea it's the best option for giving
your energy and mood a double boost if
you're interested juice have a fresh
lemon add it to warm water and finish it
off with a few sprigs of mint finally if
your main goal is to lose weight
choose lemon ginger water both lemons
and ginger can significantly improve
your metabolism plus this is the type of
drink you can consume throughout the day
to get rid of toxins you should start
with washing peeling and slicing one
ounce of ginger root when that's done
put it in a jug filled with water and
leave it like that in the fridge
overnight the next morning pour the
water into a glass and heat it until it
becomes lukewarm add the juice of a
medium-sized lemon and drink the
finished mix during the day it's better
to keep it cold but lukewarm ginger
water will work too so you have quite a
variety of options here pick the one you
like best and go for it so what do you
