Starting the day with lemon juice in warm water

[AnyDream]

Who has done this? Did it work?

When you google, you get a million hits about doing this, supposedly helps detox the liver & intestine...but no where is the mechanism of action explained. Is this as good as it says it is, or do you just feel better because you're not hitting the milky coffee first thing?

Also, does it work just as well if you add honey?

[Lulu]

I wouldn't think so. Adding honey would defeat the detox purpose.

I do it (when I remember) because I feel fabulous when I do. I just use a squeeze, its really refreshing.

[AnyDream]

What lemon-water ration do you use Lulu?

[Rouge]

I have stacks of lemons... tell me more!

oh no you di 'nt!

I've been banging on about this for 800 million years...you never listen to me *sob *rends garments

[AnyDream]

So, is that a thorough juicing of half a lemon or just a vague kinda squeeze?

[Lulu]

It's very scientific actually.

I cut a lemon in half and squeeze it into a glass water. What does google recommend?

[CharlieBrownGirl]

It is part of my program with the Naturopath. Starting the day with a cleanse. My Nanny and Aunty do it as well.

I was told not to use bottled lemon juice.

I just squeeze some lemon in cold water (a small glass full).

[Junglemum]

I do a general half squeeze. I also have hot water and lemon in place of tea and coffee a lot.

I don't think the volume matters too much MD, as long as you can taste it and it's drinkable.

And I agree with the no honey, no sweetner. If it's too tart if have less lemon rather than add honey. my 2 cents!

True Oiive, I don't think you are meant to eat or drink anything within 30 mins of brushing

[Rouge]

Do we drink it then don't brush our teeth or do we brush our teeth... *confuzzled*

Warm/room temp water is better for your digestion.

[Kazbah]

Wake up, have your warm water and lemon juice, then go for a lovely walk, eat brekky and then brush your teeth. (that's what I used to do when I was free and single!)

I used to have it on an empty tummy to stimulate my digestive system and to get the gastric juices flowing and then eat about 15-20 mins later (after my shower)

[CinderToriella]

Ok ill keep trying the warm lol

Yeah during the day i love lime or lemon in my icy cold water or mineral water
