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:
- Use Cold or Room Temperature Water: Fill a glass with 16-32 oz of cold or room temperature water.
- 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.
- 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.
