On a daily basis, this is a really simple tip: squeeze half a lemon or lime into a glass of water and you’ll get a highly alkalized drink that is great for your gut and your cells. While lemons and limes taste acidic, they metabolize alkaline in your body! The human body has a delicate internal pH that it is always looking to maintain. Ideally, you want to be in a slightly alkaline state. A healthy alkalized internal state is a goal of wellness because it sets your system up to be disease-free. It means you have this healthy and happy inside because your digestive juices and your cells are functioning in an optimal environment!
For some reason, I enjoy the taste of lime a tiny bit more than lemon, and both are fantastic for you. I can’t drink this the very first thing in the morning (but I ALWAYS drink two tall glasses of filtered water to replenish my cells after a night’s sleep). In the morning I do water, coffee, or tea and then mid-morning or afternoon it’s time for a giant glass of lemon or lime water! My favorite citrus press of all time ~one that gets the ultimate maximum squeeze~ is called Chef’n Citrus Juicer; happy squeezing :)!
Here’s to a fantastic healthy routine! You can also find more health tips on our social media @organickrush.
