What Will Happen If You Drink Lemon Water For 2 Weeks Page 2

Detox and Cleanse

Studies indicate that using lemon water, especially after meals may help you lower the amount of toxins in your body.

Toxins come into our systems through various sources: from the air we breathe to some of the foods we eat. The amount of urine is increased when drinking lemon water, however, lemon water brings with it the primary compound known as Citrate.

This is a naturally-occurring inhibitor of toxins which can build up in the form of crystals in the body. The Citric acid enhances your body’s ability to naturally flush out these unwanted toxins. The main premise behind lemon water as a detox revolves around its ability to enhance your bodies enzyme function and stimulate the liver. Basically your liver acts as your body’s filtration system, and lemon water enhances its ability to filter unwanted junk.

Alkalize process

Alkalinity is a process of neutralizing acid in the body, that has certain acids that can build up causing negative side effects such as acid reflux, upset stomach and acidosis.

If you identify a need to alkalize, then get some home pH strips that will allow you to stay within the recommend ranges. An ideal range to fall between is 4.6-8.0 and can be tested with pH strips using saliva or urine

Most people are far to acidic and this causes a whole range of negative side effects.

Lemon water is a safe and effective way to manage your pH levels and achieving healthy alkalinity may benefit in bone health, reduced muscle wasting, decrease chances of hypertension and strokes, improved cardiovascular health, and improved memory.
