Fitness Retreat Tip
Our bodies are made up of around 70% of water and we all know how important it is to stay hydrated. At Unite Fitness Retreat and hopefully at all health retreats and fitness camps, you’ll hear about the numerous health benefits of drinking water, all day long! We suggest between 72 and 104 ounces per day, depending on your needs. But what about the health benefits from drinking lemon water?
Top 5 Reasons to Drink Lemon Water Each Day
- Helps with Weight Loss: The polyphenols in lemons may aid in reducing appetite, plus drinking lemon water before a meal helps to fill your stomach.
- Cleanses the Digestive System: The citrus flavonoids in lemon aid the acid in the stomach in breaking down food, which may improve overall digestion.
- Supports the Immune System: Vitamin C, which is found in citrus fruits like lemon, gives your immune system a huge boost. But there are other ways drinking lemon water regularly can help prevent infection. The acidic environment in the stomach deters pathogens from gaining a foothold and causing illness.
- Makes Your Skin Glow: Back to the Vitamin C! This power packed nutrient is proven to fight free-radical damage and boosts collagen. Also, our skin is an organ, and hydration helps it function at it’s peak and it hydrated skin is glowing skin.
- Boots Energy: Our bodies get energy from the atoms and molecules in foods. When negative-charged ions, like those found in lemons, enter your digestive tract, the result is an increase in energy levels, swap out your morning cup of Joe and you won’t feel a caffeine crash.
Drink up and reap some of the amazing benefits a simple glass of water with a little lemon can offer.
