How to start your day ..
Updated: Jun 4, 2019
I have received lots of questions asking why I drink warm lemon water first thing in the morning before I eat any solid foods and what are the benefits. I enjoy having a morning routine and starting my day with good intentions on creating healthy habits. Here I will explain some benefits of warm lemon water and why I also add turmeric to my "special juice".
Why warm water?
- Re-hydration
- Improves circulation
- Aids in digestion
Why Lemon?
- High in Vitamin C
- Great for hydration
- Aids in digestion
- Assist with skin health
Why Turmeric?
- Fights inflammation
I aim to have about 16 oz of water to start my day, using the juice of half a lemon and a few dashes of turmeric. I wait around 20 to 30 minutes before consuming solid foods in which I normally have fruit to break my fast (breakfast) from overnight. I enjoy not having a full meal as the first thing I intake which can make me feel full and heavy. I slowly build my meals up throughout the day and my "special juice" is a great start!
