One of the key elements to leading a healthier lifestyle is having a healthy Liver

A Top Tip for achieving this is to introduce a cup of warm/hot water each day with at least half a fresh lemon squeezed into it.
You can also add ginger and/or Honey to it to sweeten it (this is also great if you are run down)

Your Liver is the organ in your body that is in charge of removing toxins

The healthier your liver, the quicker it will be able to carry out this job and in turn the better you will feel

On top of aiding the Liver, Hot water and Lemon has huge health benefits, here is our Top Pick

Drink and Detoxify

Lemons are a great source of d-limonene antioxidants, which work to flush out any nasty toxins in your liver. So if you’ve had a few heavy nights out on the tiles, hot water is the ideal drink to cleanse your body and rid yourself of any niggling hangovers. Lemons are also considered a surprisingly good alkaline food, so will also balance the pH levels in the body.

Aids Digestion

Hot water and lemon works as an invigorating tonic that stimulates the digestive tract, helping food to pass through your system quickly and seamlessly. A few cups will also help your body to soak up all the food’s good, healthy nutrients.

Tackles an Upset Stomach

Drinking hot water and lemon will flush out and cleanse your system, whilst the flavonoids found in lemons can also help to reduce the levels of acidity in your stomach, so if you’re suffering with an upset tummy hot water and lemon will gently soothe any sickness or cramps.

Soothes a Sore Throat

The anti-bacterial qualities contained in natural lemon juice will help to soothe a sore throat. Mix it up with some honey if it tastes a little too tart, as this will give it a pleasant natural sweetness.

Helps with Weight Loss

Lemons are a natural diuretic, so will help to release water retention and reduce any signs of bloating. Diuretics are the Holy Grail of cleansing, so not only will you feel slimmer, your skin, liver and tummy will start look and feel healthier too.

Relieves Aches and Pains

A shock to us too! As well as soothing and clearing out the body of unwanted, damaging toxins, lemon water can also help to alleviate niggling aches and pains by dissolving uric acid.

Immune Boosting

Lemon is an excellent source of vitamin C – an essential, hardworking nutrient that boosts the immune system and protects the body against illness. Supping on lemon water can also stop bacteria from spreading, preventing against infection and disease.
