Wouldn’t dream of giving up that morning cup of coffee? While it’s true that coffee is rich in antioxidants and drinking it does have health benefits, many people add too much cream and sugar – which can defeat the purpose, if you’re health conscious. But what if you could still have a warm morning drink that would increase your energy levels and provide 
numerous health benefits, without the post-caffiene crash?
Some health food and weight loss experts are saying that drinking hot lemon water works well as a weight loss breakfast. You can try test their theory by drinking a cup of hot water with half of a lemon’s juice squeezed into it in the morning as a coffee replacement (or just before your daily ‘cup of joe’). The results may surprise you! Experts say to watch for the following benefits:
An energy boost that helps you to lose weight. Why? Lemon juice provides the body with a natural energy boost when it enters the digestive tract. Lemon also works to fight hunger and cravings because it contains pectin fiber.
Better digestion. Lemon juice works to actively reduce toxins in the digestive tract, which encourages healthy digestion. In addition to loosening toxins, lemon juice also flushes them out and helps to cleanse the system.
Fresher breath and clear skin. Just like coffee, lemon juice contains tons of antioxidants that can decrease blemishes. As you can imagine, the fresh lemon also helps to freshen your breath!
Higher immunity to viral infections. Next time that you have a sore throat, your cure may be sitting in the produce isle rather than at the pharmacy. Lemon juice will give your immune system a serious boost in addition to fighting any present viral infections.
