Those
of us who have been drinking warm lemon water the last few months have witnessed the powerful effects first hand. It’s a mini cleanse everyday.
In
Ayurvedic Medicine warm, lukewarm, or hot water with lemon has long been touted
as a body cleanser. When you drink it first thing in the morning on an empty
stomach it immediately revs up your digestive system and cleanses your body by
flushing your liver and kidneys of toxins. This supposedly can lead to weight
loss but I’m still working to see this benefit ;). TMI, but I do notice that it cleans me
out.
So
why should you detox?
Pollution,
modern food production processes and our hectic lifestyles have resulted in
many ailments that affect the general public on a daily basis. The major causes of common problems such as
stress, depression and fatigue can be linked to
·
Heavy
metal poisoning from water and fish supplies
·
Pesticides
and chemicals used in produce farming
·
Toxins
ingested through polluted air and water
