Did you know.....? Health and Fitness

Starting each morning with a glass of water (hot or cold) with lemon can.....

....aid in stomach troubles, weight loss, fabulous for your skin, cleanses breath, flushes out toxins in your body. I honestly could go on and on with the benefits of lemon water. I use hot water and lemon for colds and fevers too.

The great thing about the water is that you can also add things like mint, cucumber, and other fruit to enhance not only flavor but health benefits. My favorite combo is cucumber, lemon and mint. It is so refreshing.

We all know we are supposed to drink 8 glasses of water a day, but who really does it? I always hear people say that they don't like water so this is a great way to add flavor without adding sugar. Water is so important and beneficial to our health for so many reasons. The kids each drink a glass of lemon water in the morning to start the day off right and be fully hydrated to start their long days at school. They both looooove lemon in their water and ask for it :)



Did you know....

....that if you drink a glass of ICE cold water before each meal it helps with weight loss? Well it does :)
A. the water itself fills you up so you don't over eat
B. The ice cold part of it is that your body has to work to warm up the cold liquid which jump starts your metabolism.

A fun way to add flavor to your water is to make ice cubes and fill them with lemon, mint, cucumber or other fruit. This way they are frozen and ready for you whenever you need them to grab on the go, I like to fil an extra water bottle with them so by the end of the way it has melted and nice and cold.
