I Drank Lemon Water Every Morning for 30 Days, See What Happened to Me

Do you wanna to lose excess weight and improve your health? I've been concerned about my weight for as long as I can remember, always looking for more and more effective ways to lose a couple of pounds. So when I read that lemon water can make it happen, I didn't really hold out too much hope! However, this little experiment quickly turned into something that changed my appearance completely...
According to The World's Healthiest Foods, just a quarter cup of lemon juice contains 31% of our recommended vitamin C daily intake with an additional 3% of folate (which is good for your heart) and 2% of potassium (which balances your blood pressure). So it seemed like a great idea to combine it with water to not only maintain body fluids but control calories as well! This hot combo was quickly named one of the best homemade drinks for detoxifying the body.
It also turned out that lemon water can shield our body from some serious problems — kidney stones, for example! As a source of citric acid that, according to UW Health, decreases the risk of getting new calcium stones, a half cup of lemon water alone contains the same amount of citric acid as prescription varieties. Experts from the Edison Institute of Nutrition also confirm lemon water's beneficial effects and recommend drinking it in the morning on an empty stomach.

SUMMARY:
- According to The World's Healthiest Foods, just a quarter cup of lemon juice contains 31% of our recommended vitamin C daily intake with an additional 3% of folate (which is good for your heart) and 2% of potassium (which balances your blood pressure).
- The first thing I noticed was that my digestive system started to wake up instantly, even before I finished my drink!
- Another thing that surprised me was how much my mood changed after drinking lemon water. I used to be a hardcore night owl who couldn't stand mornings. But after 30 days of the experiment, everything changed!
- After the second week of regular lemon water consumption, my skin significantly improved. It's not like it was terrible before, but I still had blackheads, post-acne spots, and occasional pimples.
- Since the moment I made it part of my daily routine, I’ve felt sick only once — and it quickly went away! Another nice effect of lemon water is fresh breath! Nothing much, but it’s still very pleasant.
- The biggest achievement of my experiment was something I was looking forward to all along: weight loss! After just 3 weeks of drinking lemon water, I lost nearly 20 lb!
- Always drink lemon water through a straw, and don't forget to rinse your mouth afterward. If you have any teeth problems, it's better to visit your dentist before proceeding with this experiment.
- Cucumbers are loaded with potassium, which lowers blood pressure, reduces puffiness (which, let's be real, we all need in the morning), and boosts metabolism.
- Another one of my personal favorites is warm lemon water with honey. If you wanna try it, boil one cup of water, and add the juice of one medium lemon and 2 tsp of honey.
- Pairing lemon with mint is also a good idea. It's the best option for giving your energy and mood a double boost!
- If your main goal is to lose weight, choose lemon ginger water. Both lemons and ginger can significantly improve your metabolism.
