10 Benefits to Drinking Lemon Tea

Health Benefits of Lemon Tea Everyday

Lemon tea first thing every morning – This is an old favourite that I learned from my beautiful Nan, she swore blind that drinking lemon tea first thing in the morning before anything else was her secret to staying healthy, and my studies have proved her right.

My lovely Nan passed away at the ripe young age of 89 and she still had gorgeous skin even then which she said was due to her lemon tea! Out of all of my studies, Ayurveda is my favourite, I love the philosophy it just makes so much sense.

Ayurveda teaches us to focus on morning rituals which work to align the body with nature’s rhythms, balance the doshas and develop self-esteem and self-discipline. I have to agree, I love my morning rituals and if I let go of them I sure see the difference. Warm lemon water in the morning helps to kick start our metabolism for the day, it assists the liver and digestive system, therefore it helps us to control weight, great news – and that is just one benefit of lemon tea. Lemons have strong antibacterial, antiviral, and immune-boosting powers which build immunity and fight infection;

10 Benefits to; Drinking Lemon Tea First Thing Every Morning

1. Hydration - This is I feel the most important benefit – Our body is literally on a fast while we sleep and is in a mild state of dehydration when we wake, lemon water can re-hydrate your body within minutes of drinking it which is why it is so good first thing.

2. Digestive Aid - Lemon juice doesn’t actually flush the body as you may read, but it helps the liver and kidneys to do their cleaning job, it helps produce the acids we need for good digestion. The acids in lemons are of a similar composition to our saliva and the hydrochloric acid of digestive juices – the body’s natural digestive acids. Lemons are also high in minerals and vitamins which help shift toxins in the digestive tract. Lemons turn alkaline when digested by the body and so help to relieve symptoms of indigestion, such as heartburn, acid reflux and bloating. The citric acid in lemons help to produce enzymes, which aids healthy digestion and stimulates the liver.

3. Lemon is a Natural Diuretic - A natural diuretic, therefore helping the body to release toxins – helps detoxification and keeps the bloating away.

4. Clears Skin - With all that flushing and hydrating we are obviously going to improve the look of our skin and we all know vitamin C is fab for our skin right? Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is key to the production of collagen, a protein which aids in the growth of new cells and blood vessels to give skin its firmness and strength. Vitamin C also helps create scar tissue and ligaments, it helps our skin repair itself . The vitamin C contained in the lemon rejuvenates the skin from within our body and gives us a vibrant glow!

5. Immune Builder - One of the easiest, cheapest and most effective ways to boost the immune system – high in antioxidants and vitamin C, drinking lemon juice or lemon tea regularly helps to fight of disease and illness. Lemons are also high in potassium, which stimulates brain and nerve function and control blood pressure.
