Everyday Detox – this works…

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

  

Benefits of a Natural Detox:

While some detox programs can be difficult to get through, the results usually outweigh the negatives. People who use home remedy natural body detox programs often experience:

·         Increased vitality

·         More energy

·         Weight loss

·         Improved circulation

·         Better memory

·         Positive well-being

·         Increased immunity to sickness

 

It's easy to do ...

In a mug, add
juice of 1/2 lemon (freshly squeezed)
1/4 teaspoon turmeric (why not get its amazing healing properties wherever you can.)
pinch of red chile powder or cayenne (boosts metabolism)
pinch of coarse sea salt
a pinch of  raw sugar to stimulate the brain

Add 1 – 1 1/2 cups boiling water and stir well.  Drink it like a tea. The turmeric will collect at the bottom, so keep a stirring spoon handy. 

Drink to your Health!
