Healthy Morning Routines: Benefits of Drinking Lemon Water

Drink Lemon Water During You Morning Routine

Morning routines can be easy and quick yet still very effective. It’s a great way to boost your mind, body, and soul.

One of my favorite ways to boost my health and wellness in the morning is by drinking a healthy beverage. It’s a must-do on my morning routine checklist and can be a great way to kickstart the day.

Healthy beverages can be added to any wellness routine whether you’re a professional, student, parent or just want to enhance your existing regimen. This is because drinks can typically be made and then consumed while on the go. I love using these leak-proof glass containers, especially when transporting drinks. Perfect, right?

Sure, you can drink anything in the morning, but why not drink something that is healthy and may boost your wellness?

Drinking beverages with added sugars is an easy way to unintentionally consume extra calories, salt, and sugar. All of this can contribute to unhealthy weight gain or chronic diseases like high blood pressure.

Staring the day with water is a good way to get hydrated and adding a lemon gives it a nice little kick. There are so many other healthy beverages you can choose from, but water with lemon is definitely a favorite.

Lemon Water is one of the simplest (( there’s little to no clean up)) And healthiest choices you can make to start your day.

Prep Tips: How to Make Lemon Water

Buy your own glass mug like this one.

  • Use room temperature water or warm water because it is easier for your body

  • Drinking warm water and lemon on an empty belly is nice, but not required

  • Using a lime or lemon works well ((You could use the other half for salad or another dish))

  • I’d recommend that you buy your produce in bulk for extra savings

  • Enjoy your AM drink in your favorite cup or a super cute mug ((it’s the little things that can mean the most))

What are the benefits of drinking warm water with lemon?

Warm water with lemon juice helps with weight loss + bloating. Want a flat belly? Try drinking water with lemon throughout the day. Maybe even try replacing it with your normal beverages and see how you feel. This is a good way to reduce your sugar intake and increase your water intake.

Are you looking to drink more water and increase your water intake? Adding fruits and other plant-based foods to your water can be a healthy way to naturally enhance its flavor and this may help you drink more water throughout the day.

Why I love drinking lemon water in the morning

  • Water with lemon is so easy to make and it doesn’t take much time.

  • The drink is delicious and simple.

  • The ingredients are low cost and have many benefits.

  • Water with lemon turns into tea when I’m feeling a bit under the weather. You can heat up the water with the lemon. I love to add honey too. Warm water with lemon and honey is so good.

Like celery juice in le AM this too is best on an empty belly (w/ 0-2 ingredients added), but anytime is great!
