The Lemon Water Detox

After reading (more like flip through) the book Eat Right For Your Type by Dr Peter D Adamo, i have started to routinely start my day with a glass of warm water + juice from half a lemon. It is a natural remedy for detox and amazingly, it helps in weight control (well, it works for me) and general health.

Refreshing!

Benefits of lemon water:

1. Cleanse your system

in her book "You Are What You Eat", Dr. Gillian Mckeith said, " A warm cup of water first thing in the morning (even better with a squeeze of lemon) goes right through the bowels and cleans mucus out from the day before."

Most of the food that we eat causes our body to become a bit acidic. A lot of diseases thrive in acidic condition. Lemon water although acidic in nature, when consumed, digested and reacted in the body, it became alkaline in nature. Hence balancing your body pH. Read THIS for more info on body pH

2. Aids digestion

Frinking lemon water regularly will aid in cleansing the bowels, helps eliminates constipation and diarrhea.

3. Stimulate and detox the liver

According to Kloss (Back to Eden,1988), lemon water dissolves uric acid and other poisons in the liver, liquefies bile and helps relieve malaria cases. Lemons are high in potassium and are extremely effective in treating biliousness, a symptom of liver disorder, which causes constipation, headaches, vomiting of bile and loss of appetite. People with liver complaints should drink the juice of one lemon in warm water one hour before breakfast each morning, according to Kloss.

4. Vitamin C and weight loss

Part of the reason for the powerful effects of this combination is lemon's high vitamin C content. According to an article published in the "Journal of the American College of Nutrition" in 2005, vitamin C is inversely related to your body mass. Researcher reported that having enough vitamin C intake, as opposed to being vitamin C-deficient, helps your body set off a series of chemical reactions that break down your body fat for use as energy.

Oh you know about how when you detox, getting rid of all those harmful substances and when you're healthier, you skin will show it first? Besides detoxing, you'll be getting your daily dose of vitamin C (good for complexion).

Detox + vitamin C = beautiful complexion. Au naturel.

I swear by lemon water. It really does wonder for your health and beauty.

Dear Girlfriends.....

I have known a lot of ladies who think they need someone to complete them and make them happy. Some compromised a lot and sacrificed so much of themselves to be in a relationship. Sadly some changed the person they are, the way they dress, even friends they mingle with just because the man in their life ask them to. Do not put your happiness in the hands of others. Happiness is a journey,not a destination. It is always up to us to make ourselves happy. If you are constantly wanting to be in a relationship to be happy or less lonely, you are going to be really disappointed. Be happy with the person you are. If the one you are with now constantly make you feel worthless, maybe you are in a wrong relationship. Learn to love yourself. If you are not happy with the person you are now, how can you expect others to love you? This is a really nice song by Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire. Dedicated to all my girlfriends :) Remember, yo...

Story of a fish catcher

I was brought to a riverside that supposedly has a lot of fish. They said sometimes the fish even jump out of the water, almost landing in the lap of man. They said " I want you to fish these bountiful resources and you are to catch at least 5 a day!" I was then given a set of instructions and left standing at the riverside, scratching my head trying to understand how do I fish without equipment. No fishing hook, no bait, no net, no bucket. No nothing. Just a set of instructions. So I jumped into the water and try to grab a fish with my bare hands. Most swam away, some swam nearer then sped away. It's okay. I jumped out of the water, dug at the riverbank and pulled out few small worms. Jumped back in with the worms, hoping that it can interest a few fish. Managed to hold a few but then they swam away towards the other end of the river, where another catcher has something more attractive, a bait and a net. Occasionally, someone was sent to me wit...
