Being Me: Week 15 - Water and other things we need to grow
April theme - Water your roots so your soul can blossom
I have had a morning routine of drinking lemon water for several years now. It is the first thing I do upon waking. It is easy to do, and provides a positive start to my day. Every morning I cut a fresh lemon and squeeze it into my 32 oz Arbonne water bottle then fill it with warm water. As I consume the water, I start the coffee, read my devotionals, and have finished the water by the time the coffee is ready.
Here are 15 other reasons to start your day with warm lemon water
- A rich source of vitamin C, lemon juice protects the body from Immune system deficiencies.
- Drinking lemon juice with warm water every morning helps in maintaining the pH balance of the body.
- With its powerful antibacterial properties, lemon juice helps fight infections
- Acts as a detoxifying agent.
- Helps with maintaining digestive health.
- Lemons are also a rich source of potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium.

This simple habit can transform your life.
According to Everyday Health, water does more than just quench your thirst and regulate your body's temperature. Keeping your body hydrated helps protect the spinal cord, and it acts as a lubricant and cushion for your joints. If you're not sure about your hydration level, look at your urine. If it's clear, you're in good shape. If it's dark, you're probably dehydrated.
