Lemon water

TamTastic

Lemon water is good for other benefits. Alkalizes the body, helps the immune system, helps rid your body of bloat as lemon is a natural diuretic and makes you have to use the bathroom, which is good..but not fat loss per se.

A cup of warm lemon water is a great way to start the day!!

WHY do people keep saying that lemon alkalises the body?!
a) lemon is acidic
b) we have BUFFERS in our body precisely to PREVENT alkalisation, because if your blood were too alkaline, you would be dead!!

Meaning it helps level out the ph balance of our bodies. We have a lot of acid coming from other areas...pollution, cigarette smoke, etc... And this helps to balance it out.

Assuming what you said about cigarette smoke was true, why would more acid help to level out the body's pH (surely adding more acid would just lower the pH further), and why do we need something to level it out when we already have these very handy buffer systems in place to do precisely that?

I don't believe it does. I think it help make water taste better so you are more likely to drink more cups throughout the day but I dont think it provides any additional nutrition that would assist you in losing weight more rapidly.

But citric acid is acidic, not alkaline.

No, no no, see, its the minerals! It has minerals that alkalize the blood! Magical minerals that, despite being alkaline, somehow do not dissociate in the lemon with the highly acidic lemon juice. Only in your body.

Minerals.

Of course, for that highly desirable & potentially fatal condition, alkalosis!

I love lemon water. If you add cayenne pepper it will help speed your metabolism, but regular water and lemon , No. It is good for you though, regardless!

lol, no it won't

Adding lemon into your Plexus Slim pushes out toxins even more. It's a great cleanse for your body, and very natural!

Lemon is a mild diuretic which will make you think you've lost weight, but you haven't burned fat. :drinker: I drink it anyway because I like it. Ask your dentist about the enamel effect, it's not a problem I've had after many years of drinking lemon water.
