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.

Bought the package while wandering around Patong Beach but you can get these island hopping packages anywhere in Phuket. Like many other things in Phuket, you have to bargain. We got our package for 1050 Baht/pax which included transport to and fro hotel, lunch and refreshments, snorkeling equipment and covers Maya Bay (where the filming was), Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island. We only stop and got down the boat at Maya Bay, another lagoon i don't know what's the name for snorkeling, Phi Phi Don for lunch and Khai Nok Island. They picked us up at 7.45am from the hotel and all of us gathered in a place for a briefing. There were 3 boats that day for all of us, then departed to the jetty which was about 1...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants. I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date. Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date. 1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression. You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine. No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour. Use cologn...
