Tasty TidBit Tuesday: Hot Lemon Water

Something I started doing during my Daniel Fast that I've been enjoying again recently is Hot Lemon Water first thing in the morning.

I squeeze half a lemon (usually organic) into 6-8oz of hot, purified water. 

This is an Ayurveda technique that has been around for centuries and has many health benefits! 

1. Aids in digestion: because lemon is alkalizing to the body (despite being acidic) it helps flush out the digestive system and stimulate digestive juices in the stomach which can help alleviate indigestion

2. Natural diuretic: helps flush the kidneys and livers

3. Boosts the immune system: high in vitamin C

4. Helps clear skin: because of the toxin flush and high vitamin C levels
