If you are not drinking lukewarm lemon water first thing in the morning, then now is the time to start. It kick starts digestion, boost immune system, and has anti-cancer properties.
However, for all of you who are on their daily lemon shot, I’m going to share with you how you can take this already amazing habit to the next level.
Asian Wisdom
Unlike the West, who relies on the billion dollar pharma industry, the East has powerful gems hiding deep down their mountains, forests, and natural medicine cabinets. The recipe I’m about to share with you was found in and ancient Tibetan monastery, engraved on a clay tablet.
According to experts the recipe must be well over 2,000 years. This ancient remedy can be used to improve digestion, reduce cholesterol, clean blood vessels, prevent heart diseases, improve eyesight, slow down ageing, rejuvenate skin, and prevent several types of cancer, especially brain tumors.
Life Prolonging Elixir, The Original Tibetan Cure
- 5 oz. (or 300g) garlic, finely chopped
- 2 lbs. organic lemons (about 1kg), with peel and thinly sliced
- 6 ¼ cup water (or 1.5 liter)
- Glass jar with fitting
Bring water to a boil, lower the heat and add garlic and lemon (add lemon juice from the cutting board too).
Cover and simmer at low heat for exact 15 minutes. Allow to cool and pour in a glass jar with tight-fitting.
How To Use This Remedy To Fight Disease, Prolong Life, Reduce Skin-Aging, and Prevent Tumor Growth
Take about 1.7 oz. (or 50 ml) every morning on an empty stomach for 25 days. Have a 10-day break and repeat the process once. If you can’t bear the taste, add to lukewarm tea of your choice or add some honey. When cured or there is no improvement after the first round, stop consuming the remedy.
For better health it is recommended to take the remedy no more than once or twice a year with an interval of 6 months.
Note: make sure to stick to the daily dose and have the 10-day break in between. Also make sure to get your probiotics during the day. Garlic has antibiotic properties and may kill some of your gut bacteria.
Usually this recipe doesn’t cause bad reactions, but if you feel odd or sick, or have an allergic reaction, stop the remedy immediately.
15 Reasons You Should Be Drinking Lemon Water Every Morning
1. Improves Digestion
Lemon juice has a similar structure to your stomach’s juices and helps to loosen and flush out toxins from the digestive tract. Lemon juice can help ease indigestion, heartburn, and bloating. It also helps to move your bowels in the morning, hydrates your colon, stimulate bile production, and infuses water in your stool.
2. Boost Immune System.
Lemon juice is rich in vitamin C, which helps strengthen the immunes system and fights cold and flu. But not only vitamin C is important for a good working immune system, iron is another important nutrient, and lemons improve the ability to absorb more iron from the food you eat.
3. Hydrates Your Body
It is important to stay hydrated. Especially during the summer months. Plain water is best, but many people find this boring and are not drinking enough of it. That’s where lemon comes into play to make things more interesting. So feel free to not only start your day with lemon water, but drink as many glasses as you wish during the day to stay hydrated.
4. Boost Energy
Lemon water gives you an instant boost of energy and improves your mood right at the start of your day.
5. Promote Healthy And Rejuvenated Skin
Lemons are a rich sources of antioxidants that prevent free radical damage. These free radicals are responsible for pre-mature aging of your skin. Vitamin C helps to maintain your skin’s elasticity to prevent the formation of wrinkles and decrease blemishes.
6. Reduce Inflammation
Lemons have the ability to remove uric acid from your joints. Uric acid built-ups are one of the major causes of inflammation.
7. Weight Loss Aid
Although lemon water on its own is no weight loss miracle, it can definitely help you to achieve faster and long term results. Lemons assist in fighting hunger cravings, boost metabolism, and give you a stuffed feeling, making it less likely to snack in between meals.
8. Alkalize Your Body
Although lemons have a sour taste, they are one of the most alkalizing food sources on Earth. Too much acids can cause inflammation, obesity, and major diseases like cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s.
9. Cleansing Properties
Lemons help your entire body to flush out more toxins to prevent built-ups and damage to your cells, tissues, and organs. It stimulates your liver to produce more enzymes and work more efficiently. Lemon juice works as a diuretic to keep your urinary tract toxin-free and can also change the pH levels which discourage bacterial growth. This is very helpful for people who often suffer from UTI (urinary tract infection). And like mentioned before, lemons loosen and flush out waste from your digestive tract and cleanse your colon.
10.Antibacterial and Antiviral Properties
Lemons have antibacterial and antiviral properties. They help fight the flu, cold, and soothe a sore throat. Although people who drink their daily lemon water every day are less likely to get these in the first place.
11.Reduce Mucus And Phlegm
Lemon water helps to reduce mucus and phlegm formation. People who drink cow’s milk are often more sensitive for mucus production. So starting your day with lemon water can definitely help to lessen mucus if you’re not ready to go dairy-free.
12.Freshen Breath
Lemons freshen your breath and fight mouth bacteria. Although lemons are great for your overall oral health, avoid drinking or using it undiluted. The citric acid can erode tooth enamel, so don’t brush your teeth with it, but have a glass of lemon water instead.
13.Boost Brain Power
The high levels of potassium and magnesium show beneficial effects on our brain and nerve health. Lemon water can give you the boost you need to fight depression and stress. It creates mental clarity and more focus, making it a great drink for students or people with busy and stressful jobs.
14.Anti-cancer
Lemon’s antioxidants not only protect your skin from ageing, but also reduce the risk of several types of cancer. They are great in neutralizing acids as well. Cancer loves to grow in an acidic environment. Alkalizing your body may stop cancer cells to grow and may reduce the risk of getting cancer in the first place.
15.Get Of Caffeine
Many people are able to get off caffeine by replacing their morning coffee by lukewarm lemon water. It gives a similar energy boost to wake your body and boost energy as one cup of coffee would.
