Some time ago I’ve read an interview with the creator of My new roots blog. She said that a hot water with a lemon juice can cause miracles. The article was so interesting that I’ve decided to poke around and find some more information about the magical beverage. It turns out this concoction is a hit. Why? Imagine that you drink a glass of it when you wake up (preferably 20 minutes before breakfast), and in return:
- it strengthens the immune system, thanks to vitamin C.
- potassium contained in it stimulates brain, nervous system and controls blood pressure. So it helps your body and mind to relax.
- it encourages your liver to produce acids required for digestion, so it helps to clean it of toxins
- it cleanses the skin, and even more, reduces wrinkles. A natural antiseptic contained in lemon helps to treat skin problems.
- refreshes a morning breath
- helps with cough and breathing problems
- cleanses intestines from the remaining food from the previous day.
- provides vitamins and minerals
- helps to treat stomach problems such as nausea, heartburn, bloating, constipation, etc.
- apparently drinking hot water with lemon and honey regularly really helps to loose extra pounds.
So let’s drink it!
Enjoy, Marta

I boil the water and squeeze like 1/4 of a lemon to the glass. But I don’t think there’s a rule. It’s better when water is warm than cold, your body will react better on it.
Marta, I remember this from years ago when I was on a particular diet and it started each morning with a hot mug of lemon juice. Have you tried this? I am going to as I would like to share with my readers… thanks! Catherine http://www.praycookblog.com

It’s amazing how something so simple and so accessible is so good for you for many reasons! I’m absolutely going to start drinking this, especially now that cold and flu season is upon us! Your photo is just stunning! : )
-
exactly, we forget about the basics. I like to read about things like this one. So simple and helpful 😉
I tell you what. Coincidentally, my mum has recently been doing this and when I went over the other week for dinner, she was literally over the moon telling me about the benefits and had set up more than a few jug’s worth around the house.
-
hahaha, smart woman and we should always listen to our mums 😀
Plus, with a little honey, it’s the perfect thing to soothe a sore throat or hoarse voice. Who knew a little lemon and a little water could do so much!
-
you’re right, honey will help 🙂
How interesting. I will have to give this a try.
-
hope you’ll like it 🙂
Great photo and I do love having a slice of lemon in my water too ;)! Although my blog is about sinful treats, which I can stay away from.. I do enjoy the simplest drink water + a slice of lemon. Perfect for detoxing too- Have a great week ahead!!
-
thank you Joana and the same for you 🙂
I’ll try it tomorrow and see how it goes!

I literally drink over a gallon of lemon water every day. I knew it had some great health benefits, but I had no idea how great they were. How awesome to read about ’em!
-
hahaha, go girl!
Love to have this first thing in morning… Lovely collection of so many breakfasts… going to be regular here 🙂
-
thank you!
Great post…. I’ll have to remember this for each morning:)
-
hahaha, yes, I am still trying as sometimes I just choose coffee instead 😉
Gosh, what a useful post! Really good info. I think you made a convert. Thank you!
-
So happy you like it 🙂
Sounds like a plan to me!
-
🙂
Great information. I remember years ago a doctor telling me to drink a glass of water with lemon every morning. I didn’t and now I regret it.
-
it’s never too late to start 🙂
Gorgeous photo!
-
thank you!
At a time, I drank this beverage a lot. You’ve motivated me to start drinking it again…Cheers,Rosa
-
and I think you just gave me the best complement ever 🙂
thank you for such a useful tip…please, be so kind as to clarify…the water shoulb be boiled first and then cooled (or just not cold from the fridge?)…a slice of lemon would do or need I to squeeze the juice of a whole lemon? thanks so much in advance!
