Lemon water who would have thunk it?

Jump-start Your Metabolism with Lemon Water

Start adding lemon to your water for good health! Lemons are packed with goodness that your body needs.

I have all my clients guzzle 16 ounces of lemon water straight out of the bed. Why? This helps get their engine going by jump-starting their metabolism, digestive system and it cleanses the liver and kidneys. Doing this can help get things rolling in the morning… if you know what I mean. Lemon water also helps with weight loss by keeping the body in an alkaline state. Lemons are high in fiber pectin, which helps keep you full longer. Also, they have a diuretic effect, which helps with water weight gain. Having trouble kicking the pop habit? Try adding lemon to sparkling water.

Here are some additional benefits of lemon water:

• Good source of calcium, citric acid, magnesium and potassium

• Potassium has many benefits, including the nourishment of brain and nerve cells

• Great for cleansing your system of impurities

• Helps with pain and inflammation in joints by dissolving uric acid

• Drink after meals to relieve indigestion problems such as heartburn, belching, bloating

• Helps with gastrointestinal disorders such as constipation, diarrhea, gallstones, kidney stones and pancreatic stones

• Fights sickness with its antibacterial properties that control healthy bacteria

• Helps treat sore throat

• Assists in lowering blood pressure

• Helps with asthma, allergies and respiratory problems

• Treats urinary tract infections because of the diuretic effects

• Great for skin and can be used to treat acne and eczema

NOTE: Drink lemon water through a straw because too much can harm the enamel on your teeth!

With all these benefits, you should not sour on drinking lemon in your water.

I am going to give this a try and see what happens! Wish me luck!

April challenge update 4/6/12

Ran 4.6 miles on the treadmill... It only took me all of one hour. Lol.So right now i am averaging about 13 mins. a mile ... My goal is that one month from now I can shed 2 mins off that time and do 11 mins per mile... That way I can run at least close to 6 miles in one hour.... Cheer me on from afar. Lol
Sn... That brings my running total to 9.74 out of 40... I hope to get in 4 more miles this weekend... My personal goal is run at least 14 miles a week

today I completed 7 out of 8 of the items on the hair challenge. I did mit wash my hair today... Todays scripture is John 2:19... I did enjoy that scripture today.. Workout update:
I also did about 1 hour of cardio as well. I went to bootcamp 3 days in a roll this week.. he has us doing 5x5 the whole time. So that was really good cardio... My arms are Def sore... But hey that's a good thing. today was the first time in about 2 weeks that I did not work out for a second time. I went home and went to sleep and when I woke up it was 8pm and I didn't feel like doing any squats or anything...I didn't get a chance to write yesterday but my second workout of the day on Thursday was Zumba... That was a great workout as well. This weekend I gotta get it in with the running...that is my update for the day! Thanks for reading!
