Because it helps eliminate toxins while giving us a little boost with the changing seasons, lemon is a detox fruit that regularly creates a buzz. After switching to winter time, Internet users are rediscovering a tried and tested recipe: the glass of lukewarm water with lemon, to be swallowed on an empty stomach each morning upon awakening.
The benefits of lemon water
Rich in vitamin C, lemon brings a real boost to the body by stimulating the immune system. It is also a good ally for the liver because it accelerates the production of bile.
It also fights against acid reflux generated by stress thanks to its high potassium content.
At the change of season, a lemon water cure thus allows you to replenish your energy.
A treatment of at least 21 days
The simplest recipe is to squeeze the juice of a lemon and add water at room temperature (too cold, the vitamins pass too quickly through the intestine) or add two drops of essential oil of lemon to your glass of water.
For a 21-day vitality cure, cut an organic lemon in half, put it in a saucepan filled with half a liter of water and boil for 3 minutes. Then crush your lemon in the cooking water with a fork. Filter and drink during the day. At the end of the three weeks of this lemon cure, you will find that you have energy reserves again.
