10 Great Reasons to Drink Hot Water & Lemon

The benefits of drinking hot water and lemon are many and varied.

  1. The vitamins and minerals found in lemons aid liver function, helping to mobilise toxins so they can be eliminated from your body.

  2. Citric acid stimulates digestion, which boosts your metabolism.

  3. Mixing lemon juice with a glass of water can help relieve heartburn*.

  4. The vitamin C in lemons is known to improve skin conditions.

  5. Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant, and can protect your body from free radical damage.

  6. The citrate in lemon water may help dissolve kidney stones, as well as gallstones, pancreatic stones and calcium deposits.

  10. Studies have found that cancer can’t thrive in an environment that’s alkaline.
