For a couple of weeks now, in a valiant attempt to be a better version of myself, I've been putting way healthier things in my body than I normally do. My favorite healthy thing right now, besides the obvious fruits of course, is lemon water. Honestly at first I was highly skeptical. I'm an avid water drinker, so my thoughts were how could adding a lemon to the water I already drink make a significant difference for me? Surprisingly, I do feel like lemon water does help me clean out the toxins and break my food down a bit better. I've seen more of the toilet in these last 3 weeks than have in 3 months. I also feel more energized in normal. Still, I'm waiting for the other unbelievable benefits to take effect. I mean, I know I just started and everything, so I don't expect anything immediate. I'm just really excited to be taking positive steps forward to a better well being. The thing I'm most excited about, with trying this lemon water is the incredible booth that it gives to my immune system. Everyone who knows me knows by now that my immune system is borderline faulty. Bad weather and cold air kick my ass on the daily basis. I could use all the help that I can get in the strength building department, without a doubt. I feel slimmer too, even though I'm not sure that I lost any weight just yet. I hope so. I do have a few questions though. Like, how many times can you reuse the lemons you put in your water until are no longer viable? Also how much lemon water should you drink a day? Is it the same amount as regular water? Or is it less because of the possibility that lemon can erode the enamel on your teeth? I'm probably just look it up as soon as I get a free minute. Yay, google! Being conscientious of your body's health isn't easy when you're so used to putting, essentially crap, inside of yourself. I'm extremely proud of myself for putting my best foot forward. I can not wait to see major results.
