Surprising “Citrus Elixir” Delivers A Morning Mood Boost
Here in Arizona, the winters are very mild.
Highs stay around 65 degrees or so.
But whether you live in a temperate climate like me or you live in a winter wonderland right now, I have a cozy morning ritual that could be the perfect jump-start to your day.
It’ll boost to your immune system, reduce dry winter skin, and even help you manage your weight…
And the answer is—water!
But not just any water.
For some impressive health benefits, try drinking warm lemon water.
Drinking warm water is like waking up your body’s systems for the day because it stimulates your digestive system and improves blood circulation.
And by adding lemon you’re giving your body the extra boost it needs, especially in the winter.
For starters, lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps us fight off infections throughout the winter.
Lemon water also helps keep you hydrated by replenishing fluids you lose overnight. Hydration is key for regulating body temperature, supporting cellular processes, and overall well-being.
Additionally, it’s essential for hydrating dry winter skin.
And that’s not all—warm lemon water can help you manage your weight. Lemons have pectin fiber, which enables you to feel full and reduce hunger. Plus, studies show that simply drinking water before you eat helps you eat less.
Of course, what most of us look for in a morning drink is an energy boost… and lemon water can help with that, too.
Because of its vitamin C- and hydration-increasing properties, lemon water boosts overall energy levels while reducing fatigue.
I’m not suggesting that you ditch your morning routine. But try adding in something new. You might be surprised at the difference warm lemon water will make.
P.S. This so-called “healthy” drink is killing seniors (SCARY!).
