Keep Hydrated & Have Clear Skin: Lemon Water!



As I don't like unflavored water usually, I tend to try and find ways to stay hydrated-- With flavor!

If your like me, and you like flavor in your drinks, then you better try this out! Drinking water is really important, especially in the summer, but, when is it ever satisfying?

Adding a slice of lemon to your water can make this plain drink, into something much more enjoyable!

Health benefits of drinking lemon water:
1. Boosts your immune system: Lemons have a great source of Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflamonoids, and Phytonutrients!
2. Reduces stress: The vitamins and minerals in lemon water aid in reducing oxidative stress.
3. Blemish free skin: Lemons are a natural antiseptic medicine. The high source of Vitamin C helps rejuvenate your skin. That also helps give your face a natural glow. This can also act as a black head curer. Lemon water can also help fade scars if added to the scars.
4. Helps with weight loss: Lukewarm lemon water with honey can especially help with weight loss. Drinking a glass of lemon water in the morning will help boost your mutabulism for the day!
5. Its calorie free: Don't worry about calories! Lemon water is calorie free! Why not have a few glasses if its healthy, and calorie free?

Make your own glass of lemon water:
Its quite simple, actually. All you need is a glass, half a lemon, honey (optional), water, and ice (optional).
The right amount of lemon water is 8 oz. of water, with juice from half a lemon!
