I have been drinking a half a lemon a day first thing every morning, for about 10 days now. Sometimes I will drink it again later in the day. I have seen some very positive effects from this and have found some very good artciles supporting this. It is great to help detoxify the body and liver. Also aids in helping acne, digestive problems and other things. The first few days had a few pimples pop up on my face and had some minor headaches. Someone told me that that was from my body detoxifying which comes out in the skin, but after about 6 days, that all went away.
here is an interesting article:
When life gives you a lemon...as the traditional saying goes…you're supposed to make lemonade. But perhaps, as modern research is proving...you should squeeze that lemon and mix it with six ounces of distilled water and drink twice daily.
Warm lemon water serves as the perfect good morning drink, as it aids the digestive system and makes the process of eliminating the waste products from the body easier. It prevents the problem of constipation and diarrhea from taking place, by ensuring smooth bowel functions. Lemon, a fruit popular for its therapeutic properties, helps promote your immune system and thus, protects you from the clutches of most types of infections. It also plays the role of blood purifier. Lemon is a fabulous antiseptic bestowed on us by Mother Nature.
Limewater juice works wonders for people having heart problem, owing to its high potassium content. So, make it a part of your daily routine to drink a glass of warm lemon water in the morning and then open your gateway to enjoy its health benefits. "The medicinal value of the lemon is as follows: It is an antiseptic, or is an agent that prevents sepsis [the presence of pathogenic bacteria] or putrefaction [decomposition of tissue]. It is also anti-scorbutic, a term meaning a remedy which will prevent disease and assist in cleansing the system of impurities."
Due to the digestive qualities of lemon juice, symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, bloating and belching are relieved. By drinking lemon juice regularly, the bowels are aided in eliminating waste more efficiently thus controlling constipation and diarrhea. "The lemon is a wonderful stimulant to the liver and is a dissolvent of uric acid and other poisons, liquefies the bile, and is very good in cases of malaria. Sufferers of chronic rheumatism and gout will benefit by taking lemon juice, also those who have a tendency to bleed, uterine hemorrhages, etc.; rickets and tuberculosis. In pregnancy, it will help to build bone in the child. We find that the lemon contains certain elements, which will go to build up a healthy system and keep that system healthy and well.
As a food, we find, owing to its potassium content, it will nourish the brain and nerve cells. Its calcium builds up the bony structure and makes healthy teeth. Magnesium, in conjunction with calcium, has an important part to play in the formation of albumen in the blood. The lemon contains potassium 48.3, calcium 29.9, phosphorus 11.1, magnesium 4.4. Lemons are useful in treating asthma, biliousness, colds, coughs, sore throat, diphtheria, la grippe [flu or influenza], heartburn, liver complaint[s], scurvy, fevers and rheumatism."
The energy you get from your food comes from the atoms and molecules of energy in your food. A reaction takes place as cationic food enters the digestive tract and encounters anionic digestive enzymes. To explain further, an ion is part of a molecule con-atom or a group of atoms that carry an electrical charge. Ions, which carry positive charges, are "anions." Lemons are considered to be anionic, having more anions (negatively charged ions) of energy as compared to cations (positively charged ions) in their atomic structure.
Saliva, hydrochloric acid, bile and the stomach's other digestive juices are also anionic. Lemon is one of the only foods on the planet that has more anions than cations in its atomic structure. Who Can Benefit From Lemon Water? Dr. Beddoe, a leading researcher of the properties of lemons, states "Lemon water is used in every person that can tolerate it. That is, if there is no allergy to lemon (a very few have a true allergy to lemon) and no active ulcers, then all adults and most children should use the lemon water.
The purpose of the lemon is to: a. provide a natural strengthening agent to the liver enzymes when they are too dilute. b. The liver can make more enzymes out of fresh lemon juice than any other food element. c. The lemon helps fix oxygen and calciums in the liver because it regulates blood carbohydrate levels which affect the blood oxygen levels."
Try it out! I just use tap water and I don't always put the lemon in warm water. I
