When Life Hands you a Lemon...

I started reading about the benefits of drinking lemon water - more specifically hot water and lemon. It's pretty amazing the positives this can have on your body. Besides the fact that lemons have vitamin C, B1, B2, B6 and Riboflavin they have calcium too. (Great for folks like me who aren't crazy about milk!)

Drink hot lemon water twice a day for great health benefits! 6 oz. of water to a 1/2 lemon if you weigh under 150 lbs. or a whole lemon if you are 150 lbs. or above.

Benefits can include aiding in digestion (which is a positive for me and my reflux), weight loss, overcoming nausea and morning sickness, more energy and clear skin.

Within some of the reading I've seen that you should drink this first thing in the morning, before you eat or drink anything else. I tried it two days in a row and will keep at it to see if I find any personal benefits. What do I have to lose? If nothing else I'll increase my vitamin intake and stay hydrated.
