As people say, an acidic body is a disease magnet. So, that's why I started my juicy morning with a glass of warm water, added with one freshly squeezed organic lemon and added a tablespoon of organic extra virgin olive oil or extra-virgin apple cider vinegar - on empty stomach. Been on this for near 4 months! And it is absolutely GREAT!!

The beauty of lemon water is that it is tasty, refreshing and best of all, alkalising. The lemon juice raises the alkalising effect of the water so even with standard tap water you can make your drink nice and alkalising.

My skin is getting so much better and better than before having the major outbreak few months back due to the hormonal imbalance condition, this is surely help much apart from my healthy diet. This is just a start of the lemon water benefits that I love so much.

So What Are the Lemon Water Benefits?

Apart from being an amazing body alkalizer/alkaliser, here are my favourite lemon water benefits:

• Lemons are antiseptic
• Lemon water has excellent digestive properties and can ease heartburn, bloating and other digestion problems
• Lemon water cleanses and stimulates the liver and kidneys
• Lemon juice contains calcium, magnesium and potassium
• Lemon juice has been known to relieve asthma
• Lemon water (hot) offers relief from cold and flu symptoms while providing some much needed Vitamin C
• Lemon juice is a great skin cleanser

I have been wanting to write something about peoples misunderstanding the untrue about acidic food like lemon and orange being acidic, but too lazy or busy to blog about it.

So since I'm reading this article this morning , I shall do the easy way out by copied this here to share :p

"All this while, People thought that oranges and lemons are acidic - the notion we cannot have them on an empty stomach is not quite true after all. Why such notion?
Well, I just have to look at how my lemon-based dish-washing liquid gets rid of the grease on my plate! I have even tried to use a halved lemon to grease off my oily plate. Wow, the lemon worked wonders - its strong acidic action reminds me what it could do to my stomach.
Yet, as what I have recently found out (from the articles I have been reading), that notion is indeed far from the truth. Lemons and oranges are totally the opposite - given that they are inside your belly.
Acidic fruits are still acidic in nature. When you put them in your mouth, the acid will be converted into alkaline substances in the body. So yes, lemons, oranges and other citrus fruits (acidic by nature) will turn alkaline when you consume them. Weird huh!
Having an alkaline body is good. If you have acidic body, most likely you could attract more not-so-nice bodily conditions like fatigue and bad skin conditions."

Lemons are Alkaline? Please Explain…

Water with lemon is most definitely alkalizing to the body. I know this might seem confusing at first but my short video with Dr Young trained, alkaline expert nutritionist Gareth Edwards will explain how lemons are indeed an alkaline food
