Does anyone drink 1tbsp lemon and 8oz warm water in the morning before breakfast? I was just wondering because I was going to give it a try. I have all kinds of digestion problems and I was thinking if this would help cleanse the toxins built up in my system.

    It won't, your body will do that all by itself.

    I do sometimes, because I like it, not because of any 'detoxifying' purpose.

    I do it with cold water. I usually drink about 1-2 liters of water, then i switch to lemon water, all before breakfast.

    Yes, your body is constantly cleaning up toxins, but lemon water will help. It is loaded with water and has anti-oxidants, plus other nutrition, so it will help your body to do it's job.

    If you want to detox: hyper-hydration, proper nutrition, adequate sleep, clean air and time are all needed, BUT the MOST IMPORTANT thing you need for detox is cessation of toxin input.

    Lemon water is not cleansing any toxins. You have your liver and kidneys to do that.

    If you really are having serious digestion problems, you may have an intolerance/sensitivity to a specific food. Lactose, gluten, and soy are some common ones.

    No ****, Sherlock. Yet, no one has provided sources. I need studies that show that lemon water is, in fact, loaded with water.

    No.

    There are no "cleanses" that are:

    A) Helpful
    2) Useful
    III) 100% safe

    Here is a peer reviewed resource that should confirm the contents of lemon water.

    Lol, you guys are so funny, water is loaded with water, I know water helps to cleanse and there are tons of natural pathic studies that show lemon water aids with getting rid of toxins, I was just curious if anyone has tried it and if it helps at all. I have many food allergies so it was just an idea. To use it as an all out cleanse I would have to drink 3 cups a day for a month, that wasn't what I was thinking more on the line of helping the body out. I drink prune juice for a real cleanse, lol. Thanks for the feed back.
