My grandmother was born in and drank warm lemon water every day of her life. She worked until she was 76…raised 10 children and had the most beautiful skin I can remember. She barely had any wrinkles. I started doing lemon water almost every day back in January, as well as start watching what I eat and controlling portions, cutting out sugars and late night snacking, etc. I feel more energized equals less coffee! Thanks for this post; it is full of great information and is even more motivation to continue drinking lemon water!
Thanks for posting this wonderful tips of lemon. Well, I had been drinking lemon water freshly cut up lemon pieces soaking in warm water for about 1 month so far. I do find my joints hurt less as I have gout.
I wonder does it help in the overall being of a lupus sufferer like myself? I have fibromyglagia too. My mood seems better after this lemon therapy I am bipolar. Can my diabete mum reap the benefits as well? Have a nice day!! You know I do not like visiting doctors. Now drinking three times lemon water. I just bumped onto this blog.
Got lot of support. The warm water and green tea ideas are wonderful. I wasted my money on them so far, I guess. I am so happy believe me. Please let me know if you begin to feel better having stopped your supplements as I would like to stop mine also. Thank you Linda. I am going to try this.. Thank you Adam, and congratulations on the lower blood pressure. I am going through the same thing…. Hi, I am super enthusiastic about starting to use lemons in my daily routine.
I have very early starts 5 days a week and think warm lemon water will be a better kickstart to my day — rather then the awful instant coffee I currently slurp down!. Just wondering if I can squeeze fresh lemons and freeze it in portions?
Or, will it last in the fridge? Would that have the same benefits?? I currently drink 2 teaspoons of vinegar in 10 ounces of lukewarm water every morning. I started lemon water this morning. Sounds like nothing but good stuff! Hi Beth, thank you. This has been of great help. I started drinking lemon water about a week ago when I decided to go sugar free.
Is there a difference? Drink lots of water with lemon added to it to continually detox and hydrate. If you struggle to eat a really clean diet then seriously […]. I love it first thing in the morning, hot of course..
I also drink it through out the day.. Other than that I see same benefits. Feeling a lot better. Also cutting on unhealthy diet is very important.
Losing my weight. In the last six months I cut 10 pounds. Though I am still over-weight. Need to lose another 10 pounds at least. Just one thing bothering me on how to lose belly fats. I was told that you need to do your lemon water and 20 minutes after you need to eat breakfast. The reason is that if you skip breakfast your body produces Cortisol which is what is responsible for the belly fat.
Just some food for thought. I am just newly doing this myself. I was told this over the weekend by a family nurse practitioner so I am giving it a shot myself. I found this site by looking up the benefits of lemon water and thought I would share what I was told..
Hope it helps. I have been taking warm lemon water evry morning and some times even after super,so is it ok to health plz advice me.
Hi,I have beeen taking warm lemon water evry morning and some times even after super isit ok to my health, plz advice me. Hey, quick question. Do you know if there is much of a difference? Thanks so much. Supermarkets have them and also the farmers market. Can I drink the warm lemon juice 3x a day? Would it benefit me more? Will I get better results sooner. One fresh lemon including its skin daily.
Blenderized to smoothie consistency will neutralized acids in your stomach, provides you with Vit C, ,regulate you bowel due to pulp that goes along with the juice, decreases inflammation, very food for a lot of thing. Just once daily. Maybe helps cancer growth. Never more than on. Why place on warm water. The benefits is when its fresh.
Then i do exercise for around 30 mins, and after getting fresh i take my breakfast Apple and Milk around 8. Did you drink purely just a squeezed lemon in warm water? I add about a tbsp of honey and its great. Only been two days but I thought I had allergies yesterday. At night it turned out to be a cold. Last night and this morning had warm lemon honey water and I feel better. Less congestion!! Also, why not the bottled juice? But my question is, why half a lemon? Try 2 scoops of frozen lemon with a dash of chia seeds in a cup of cold water first thing in the morning.
Stick a lemon in the freezer for a day or 2. When frozen grate the entire lemon into a small container and stick back in the freezer. This is detoxifying and helps curb hunger. Read up on helth benifits of frozen lemon! I just read your blog this time around. And i thought that trying to do this routine in the morning is a great idea.
Im gonna have to buy some lemons tomorrow after work haha. Truth is i have a hard time losing weight, I have been gaining weight these past few months now and i am terribly eager to lose these extra pounds of mine.
But trying to do that lemon drink will probably be helpful to me. But hey! I been drinking warm lemon water every morning for the past 3 weeks, wanted to read more information on it.
My 16 year old Grand daughter advised me about the lemon and hot water advantages, so I just started this morning. She and I are both very health conscious but I weaken at times as I love my ice cream and sweets. I am suffering from Gout problem since last 3 months. I have flares from last 3 months Dr. Has put me on 40 mg of Urolic to reduce Gout Attack but still I am having episode of pain. I wanted to start with lemon water from tommorow. I am going to give a try.
I have started drinking lemon and honey with lukewarm water early in the morning and at bed time. Is it also good at bed time? I do too yes! Hi, I live in Venezuela where we only have limes, no lemons. Does anyone know if limes are alkalizing in the body as well? From what I have heard, limes have a very strong alkalinizing properties!!
Both are ver good for that. Maybe limes are a tiny bit better just for having a tiny bit less sugar than lemons which have very little sugar anyway. Thank you so much for this article. I have been trying to lose some weight and have a hard time sticking with a plan unless I understand the health benefits. Ive read that drinking warm lemon water is something that I should do every morning, but didnt understand way.
Now I do! This is just what I was looking for. Thank you, again! Good morning, Are there any benefits to drinking lemon water throughout the day, especially toward weight loss? I drink lemon water 30 minutes before I eat and then I keep drinking it throughout the day.
I love homemade lemonade. I add very little sugar. I have gotten bored with drinking just plain filtered water, so adding lemon juice has helped alot. I wonder, could I be doing harm, by drinking so much. Is is to much? I just started drinking lemon and hit water yesterday and had some stomach upset. It lasted most of the day. I put several whole slices in the water.
I think today I will put only the juice. I was going to ask the same question. I had really bad cramps that lasted 2 days. I quit drinking it and am really disappointed. It could be because it is reacting with other food you have eaten during the day or that your body is just not used to it. Keep trying for a couple of days. This is great information i have also started taking warm water with lemon but for over two year every morning i do take fresh orange juice i have seen wonders and i thank God at my age that is 49 years i am very HEALTHY.
I have been drinking this religiously for one month and have seen significant improvement of my acne and no more breakouts, I have regular bowel movements, less pain, significant weight loss without trying and more energetic!
Drink a tall glass of water and combine it with half a lemon squeezed into the water as it cleans out your body and you can feel a sense of refreshment and upliftment immediately from it! Been doing this regimin for almost a week! Will post update in a month. Hi Beth! Thanks for this great list of benefits. I only knew about a couple of the benefits. For a long time now, I add lemon to a glass of water daily. It was amazing how soft and clear my skin was.
Plus no stinky smell after sweating, even on a hot day. My boyfriend likes to take the mick out of me for having just hot water and no tea bag but it is known to have many health benefits, including aiding digestion and jump starting your metabolism.
Tasty-yummies blog lists 10 benefits to drinking warm lemon water. I am going to gym mainly for weight reduction exercise. I have just crossed first line of obesity. Can I have honey-lemon warm water? If so how much at max. I can no longer drink grapefruit juice as it interacts adversely with certain meds. Is there any adverse reactions to drinking lemon and water? Do you know if limes would be just as beneficial? While I do love lemons, I adore limes even more. I m not sure exactly, I just fill up a glass with about 8 to 10 ounces of water and squeeze half a lemon into it.
I believe just lemons have this extensive of a list of benefits. Hey does the warm water and lemons really help cause I drink it every morning.! But my question is do I have to work out with it or the lemon water burns calories without me working out..!!
Should I or should I not work out with it.??? Great article that answered all my questions about water and lemon in the morning — thank-you!! I woke up this morning craving it. I do believe our bodies tell us what they need! Drinking pure water helps defeat cancer…for more info on water purification, here is a good site science of Water. Vitamin C is beneficial for detox as it helps the liver to produce glutathione, which is regenerative and helps the liver to process toxins and eliminate them.
Lemons are alkalizing, like limes, and have a fresh, bright, tangy flavor. Benefits of Limes Limes contain 9.
Limes do contain higher levels of calcium and vitamin A, but not significant enough amounts to be of any benefit. Limes have a great fresh tropical flavor. Which One to Use? Both lemons and limes have similar nutritional profiles, but as lemons have slightly higher contents of certain vitamins, they could be more beneficial to detox. However, limes still contain the same compounds, and if you are getting bored of using lemons for your detox program, limes can be a great substitute for flavor.
They both work with detox programs such as the master cleanse and can be interchanged for variety. Read more: Lemons Vs. As for grapefruit v lemons or limes, I asked a pharmacist. Grapefruits have an a number of compounds in them that inhibit the drug-metabolizing enzyme isoform CYP3A4 predominately in the small intestine. That breaks down a lot of medications and causes your body to react differently than without the grapefruit. Lemons and limes do not contain these compounds and therefore are usually safe.
BUT, again, check with your medical professionals before adding anything new to your diet. I prepare a pitcher of water with slices of lemon and sometimes leave it overnight in the fridge. Great article! Thank you for sharing tips of how to live better. I started drinking lemon with warm water a few weeks ago every morning and I do really enjoy it. I suffer with IBS too. I just started warm water with fresh squeezed lemon juice this morning.
I feel pretty good today but as you know, diet also affects the way we feel as well. I am glad to see its working for you. This new phenomenon was triggered by an article I read online about two months ago that claimed lemon water was magical.
It can alkalize your […]. Hi,great thoughts we share,i have been drinking lemon juice for quite some time now,i have a good digestive system n my weight is totally up to standard as well as my skin,warm lemon water is the way to go…you wont regret this!!! Hi, I have been drinking lemon water for abut one week. I drink a 32oz of water first thing in the monring with a whole squeezed lemon. Is that ok? I have been drinking lemon water for about 30 years now. Never knew that I was taking care of my body so well.
There would be times when life got in the way and I did not enjoy the nectar of the Gods and within a few days I could tell the difference. Though I prefer the water to be a bit cooler as it soothes my throat and since it causes the body to work harder I lose more of the unwanted weight my thyroid problem has caused. Thank you.
I LOVE lemon water!! I use it whenever i drink water and green tea. My favorite is hot green tea with a few drops of lemon, and half a teaspooon of honey… soooo wonderful!!
I now add 1 teaspoon of nz manuka honey and its delicious. Such a soothing yet refreshing way to start the morning. I do sometimes pour boiling water over the lemons — why is this not advised? Hi Tastyyummies….. I drink lemon juice fresh in sparkling water, and love it. I can see the difference in my skin and eyes and feel so much better!
I really want to try this so bad! Hi there Diana, this is a question I would ask your doctor or medical professional.
I try not to make too many specific healthy claims to individuals on this site as I am not a medical professional or a certified health coach, etc. I hope you understand. Regarding the absorption of iron, I recall having pernicious anemia when I was in college.
I took an Rx form of iron mixed with Vitamin C for better absorption of the iron. Based on that, lemon-water should help or at least not interfere with an iron supplement. BUT it seems to me for anyone who questions the effects of combining lemon-water with something else, better to separate the two things just in case.
I would advise against adding sugar. If you need to have sweetener, consider a splash of honey or maple syrup, but I would suggest going without to reap the full benefits.
I drink it cold, as i enjoy it better that way. I have started drinking lemon water for the past week and have had terrible bloating ever since. Could the lemon water cause this? I do not usually feel like this and the lemon water is the only change I can think of.
Reading all the testimonies posted on this page got me really confused to whether to continue or stop… I would also like to know if this drink can cause an ulcer especially since its taken on an empty stomach. I would highly appreciate a clarification on the matter.
Thank You Patricia. I have just started drinking the warm water and lemon this week and have already notice the difference in skin and mood. I am begining to love it and will continue. Thanks TastyYummies. Last year and before that, I frequently get tonsilitis almost monthly!
I swear to GOD this is true and very effective. So if you want to improve your immune system, start drinking lemon water. Thank you God for providing us your grace. It is alright? The same benefits with the warm lemon water? Any bad effects to expect?
Will be the same effect for weight loss, too? Thank you! Have been trying this for a while and am loving my smooth skin. I drink hot water with one whole lemon in the morning and sometimes at night too, as I find it suppresses my appetite somewhat, and big dinners and desserts are my downfall.
Good helath to everyone and keep drinking! Years ago I started drinking lemon water. I simply used to squeeze one lemon in one glass of water.
When I followed the routine for about two , three weeks my skin became glowing, all the blemishes vanished. I could feel my skin looked fair as well. Now I again want to follow this. Please tell me the side effects of it. Does it have to be warm water or will room temp water give the same benefits?
I live in the south and warm drinks are not always the best during the summer. I squeez flesh lemon and bottle it,and keep it a fridge I want know if it is ok for me to do that. Is one glass in the morning enough or do you drink it throughout the day? Have never tried but want to start to see if it perks me up throughout the day.
Great info here, thanks. For the full post head over to Tasty Yummies! Thanks for the helpful post. Thanks so much for sharing this tip with the cayenne pepper. Everyone should try this!! The first time i drank it i thought i was going to puke but within a minute i was all better and havent experienced anything again. I havent changed my diet still take my carbs, vegies and fries when i can but bottom line. I had no idea that lemons had so much good to offer, thank you for sharing!
I will have to use organic bottled lemon juice until we get a press. I have been drinking lemon water for more than 2 weeks , and experienced 1 kg weight loss.. Is it true daily intake of lemon causes bone thinning? And eventually corrodes your bones? A friend of mine is trying to discourage me from my daily lemon drink? Hi ,i just started today on this lemon juice programme , i am determined to stick with it to see if it will rid me of this cold that i have had for over a month , i already have a juicer which was not being used so now hopefully it will be on the go alot!!
I m 17 years old. I think after reading these comments I should try lemon water. If you start adding substances to it, would that not, logically, reduce some benefits? When I first started drinking lemon water, I noticed a strange, almost burning sensation, in my neck for a few days.
Maybe this was unrelated, but I felt like it was my lymph nodes detoxing. Anyone else experience anything similar? This is so true!!! I have a colleague who gave me a lemon and it replenish my human hormones. But most importantly my colleague is happy and inlove again! Beautiful B. Great article. I find overall I feel better when I drink a nice glass of water with lemon before working out in the morning, but I was kind of oblivious to any health benefits it actually had.
I used to be a big coffee drinker, but have reverted back to my old medicinal tea drinking ways and I feel better and have more energy and I always use lemon in my tea and nothing else nope, not even honey or sugar—just lemon. I agree with you on using fresh lemons. I keep no less than 10 lemons in my kitchen in a weeks span because I use them so frequently in my water and tea. However, I am slightly concerned with the effect it may or may not have on my teeth enamel.
Do you have any knowledge on that? Whether it will have effect on the teeth enamel. Some websites do mention that sipping on acidic drinks on frequent basis will cause enamel erosion.. I usually take mine cold. Are you saying that taking it cold will not give me same results?
I am so glad to read your nice post and I appreciate your tips which you shared with us. I would like to subscribe to your site. May you be blessed with good health and longest life. I wish you a good luck. May your site be successful. Keep rocking. Thank you so much. I regularly drink luke warm lemon water with little honey in it.
I have two questions first is thats its result is not the same ith me every day, sometimes it gives me a smooth bowel movement and sometimes i still feel constipated. What could be wrong in the process? Second is that one of an ayurvedic practitioner told me that drink lemon first thing in the morning could cause joint ache and other related ailments.
To what extent is that true? Please guide. She explains to you with each of the […]. I have to admit I saw immediate effects, such as improved focus at work and dimenished anxiety, which is great. Is that something that could have been caused by the water or is it probably somethine else? Thanks for your time. I can personally agree with that! I have three glass jars with fresh lemon slices and water sitting outside receiving some electrifying energy from the sun at the moment. Once it has soaked in the sun for some hours I enjoy my hot lemony detox.
Afterwards I feel hydrated and energized for the day. I have been keeping up this daily routine for the pastmonth nd notice how radiant my skin has become.
I spend less time on the toilet and am very regular. This to could also contribute to the fact that I consume high amounts of fruits and veggies and drink no dairy. Drinking warm lemon water daily is a cheap health remedy to a many ailments. You should try it! Adding a little lemon to your water is a great way add some flavor and still have the same health […].
For getting healthy body there are several ways are there, in them best way is to drink warm water with lemon. The above all information is very true, i am using this juice daily, i got great results with this. Thanks for this, i usually take the industrial bitter lemon, is it good also? Does lemon cure heart burns? Heat destroys vitamin C though, so i would use cold water, or if making ginger tea or any herbal tea , make the tea, then ice it down to a little over room temp.
I juiced a dozen lemons, froze half and am using the other half to kickstart my day. By juicing I can maximize how much I get from each lemon! I add pulp to water into which I cut a cucumber and drink that throughout the day.
Thank you for sharing this information. Please continue to share any health informatin with us prevention is better tha cure. Hi I used to do this regularly a few months back, however I noticed since drinking Warm Lemon water my hair started to fall out more regularly, When I read about this I was rather surprised to hear its not good for those who are either loosing hair or are seeing thinning in their hair.
