  • For more Info check out my blog post on the 7 benefits of lemon water - www.bodiesbybench.com/benefits...
    What if I told you ONE thing you could do each morning right as you wake up to help you BOOST your energy, eliminate toxins, improve your digestion, stimulate your metabolism, and lose body fat...would you do it?
    Of course you would! AND...it takes less than 1 minute!
    The key is to drink 8 ounces of warm lemon water before breakfast.
    So in this video I'm going to share with you some of the amazing benefits that lemon water can give you just by adding this to your daily routine.
    I'll also show you how quick and easy it is to make lemon water each morning.
    First, it helps improve digestion. Which is great for those that struggle with constipation, indigestion, and bloating issues. Lemon water will help regulate your bowel movements.
    Lemon water also help detoxify the liver by helping flush out toxins in the body.
    It also helps balance your pH levels. Our bodies function better in a more alkaline state versus an acidic state. Unfortunately, most people are more acidic due to the amount of sugar and grains we eat in our diet, and the environment we live in. Lemons, although acid in its natural state, are one of the most alkalizing foods we can eat.
    And lastly, lemon water boosts your immune system. Lemons are packed with vitamin c, which is the easiest and quickest way to boost your immune system and your energy.
    To make warm lemon water in the morning:
    1. First thing in the morning, squeeze the juice of half a lemon into an 8-16 oz. glass of warm or room temperature water.
    2. Drink this on an empty stomach and wait 10-20 minutes after drinking it before eating breakfast.
    3. Use organic lemons so you steer clear of toxins that we're trying to eliminate in the first place.

    Three or four months into begin vegan (70-75% raw), I started having terrible rashes from detoxing.
    My doctor thought I had scabies and recommended a cream. I had my doubts about his diagnosis and thought I'd check out other possibilities. I had no intention of slathering myself in neurotoxic insecticide.
    I asked Jay Kordich if he thought the rashes were from the detox. He recommended I drink more water.
    Every morning I drink a quart of lemon water (using the juice of one whole lemon). From the very day I started that, the rashes disappeared. Digestion improves. Elimination improves. Everything just flows better.

    Thank you for sharing this video 😊. If you want to maximize the benefits of lemons, blend the “entire” lemon into a “lemon sludge”. Yes, “seeds & all”. The seeds and the peel are good for you. You can “eat” a “heaping” tablespoon full . . or add some Stevia to a “heaping” tablespoon full in a glass of water, approximately 16oz.
    You’ll get about “5” times the benefits. It is an acquired (taste and texture). 🍋 I’m a 66 year old male and I’ve been doing this “almost” daily for several years and I feel great! Watch some videos so you too can benefit from this. You’ll be surprised at what you’ve learned. It’s one of the best things you can do for better health.

      I can't stand coffee. I think people crave acidic stuff, which I think is what is so appealing about coffee. Personally I like citric acid a lot more, like in orange juice. But lately I've been drinking lemonade instead. I use lemons and STEVIA and it's great. No added sugar or artificial sugar. Stevia is all natural with no side effects, and almost no calories (depending on the stevia product, some have maltodextrin which adds negligible calories).

    Everything I have seen or read says you should use the lemon rind which has the most nutrients and benefits.
