Lemon water

Lemon water is a health game-changer and how it can become a part of your daily routine to support chronic illness recovery.

Ingredients

Water

Fresh Lemons

raw honey and/or fresh ginger for extra flavor and immune support, but do not add anything else.

Instructions

Here’s the best way to prepare lemon water for maximum benefit:

  1. Use Cold or Room Temperature Water: Fill a glass with 16-32 oz of cold or room temperature water.
  2. Fresh Lemons: Squeeze half a fresh lemon into 16 oz of water or a whole lemon into 32 oz. Avoid bottled lemon juice, which lacks nutrients.
  3. Optional Add-ins: If desired, add a teaspoon of raw honey and/or fresh ginger for extra flavor and immune support, but do not add anything else.

Notes

When and How Much Should I Drink?

  • First Thing in the Morning: Drinking lemon water on an empty stomach optimizes digestion and detoxification.
  • Wait 15-30 Minutes: Before eating, give your body time to absorb the nutrients and set your digestive system for the day.
  • Daily Habit: Start with 16 oz each morning and increase to 32 oz as your body adjusts. You can also have a second glass or two later in the day or evening if desired.
