You can always use a little help, especially when it comes to the health of your body. Even more help comes in handy when trying to lose weight or promote overall wellness. We have a simple method to help improve your digestion, detox your liver, and promote healthy skin.
Every morning, mix a little apple cider vinegar and lemon juice with a glass of warm water. Drink this on an empty stomach every morning and you’ll start noticing how much better you feel. Lemon is a natural antioxidant that does some pretty awesome things for your body. Because it has antiviral, antibacterial, and immune boosting properties, lemon helps alkalize the body while cleansing it as well.
By now you all should know how much we love apple cider vinegar. It has healing properties that are comparable to those of lemons, and it helps regulate blood sugar, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and it helps alkalize the body.
You can reap the following benefits by drinking this beverage every morning.
#1: Balances the Body
When it comes to losing weight, it is important for your body to be balanced. If you are obese or overweight, your pH level, blood sugar, or cholesterol levels may be out of whack. By drinking apple cider vinegar and lemon juice, you help get your digestive system under control. Digesting food properly and ensuring that your metabolism is functioning optimally are going to help you on your weight loss quest.
#2: Alkalizes the Body
When the body is too acidic, certain tissues and organs can be inflamed. This inhibits proper bodily functions and can even lead to disease. While lemons and apple cider vinegar are acidic, they have the opposite effect in the body. They are alkalizing foods and can help reduce inflammation by neutralizing your pH level.
#3: Cleanses the Liver
The liver is responsible for processing toxins in the body, as well as the nutrients. It is important to cleanse the liver in order to help detox the entire body. Built-up toxins can prevent weight loss, and the lemon vinegar drink can help get toxins out of your eliminative channels.
#4: Promotes Digestive and Colon Health
If your digestive system isn’t working correctly, losing weight can be difficult. The lemon vinegar drink promotes healthy gut bacteria that help digest food properly. Additionally, the drink helps stimulate bowel movements. If you’re constipated then this drink will help you eliminate toxins from your colon.
#5: Boosts Weight Loss
The above benefits help you lose weight more efficiently. When the body is functioning properly, it is easier to lose weight. Plus, this drink helps to decrease sugar cravings by keeping blood sugar levels constant.
Just remember to mix about a tablespoon of both lemon juice and apple cider vinegar with a glass of warm water. Drink that on an empty stomach in the mornings for the best results.
