What Everybody Ought To Know About Drinking Lemon Water

What’s one small but mighty change you can make to your daily nutrition? It’s Lemon Water. Or more precisely, one lemon squeezed into 1 litre of your best quality purified water.

The humble lemon that is so often overlooked or misunderstood.

I was taught this several years ago and once I did my due diligence and started this practice for myself, I started to understand just how effective and impactful this can be for your health and daily nutritional habits.

I enjoy the teachings of Anthony William, the ‘Medical Medium’, the multiple New York Times Best Selling Author, and resonate with his mission to help millions of people heal themselves through food and protocols. The Lemon Water protocol is simple and oh so effective and this is what you ought to know about making this one of your daily habits.

Rather than me ramble on in my excitement, I’ve revisited one of my favourite Medical Medium videos and articles, and taken my favourite highlights and included them below for you.

Lemon water hydrates, purifies and revitalises your body

Did you know that water coming straight from the tap or a bottle has lost its vitality and innate living structure? So by adding freshly squeezed lemon juice to your water, it brings it back to life. Then it can do its job more effectively, getting into your tissues and cells and carrying essential nutrients around the body.

Lemon water is a good source of vitamins C and B and minerals such as calcium and magnesium

Such a small fruit packs a punch and this reason alone is enough to have one or more a day.

Lemon water is excellent for weight loss, the immune system, alkalising the body, controlling high blood pressure, anti-aging, detoxification, purifying the blood and regulating body temperature

Now I don’t know which of these might resonate with you, or maybe they all do. I have an interest in strengthening and boosting my immune system because of my hidden disability, but I also recognise the specific importance for me of making my internal body more alkaline, regularly removing toxins and purifying the blood. Everything else is just pure bonus!

Lemon water is beneficial for the digestive tract

It can help to relieve constipation, nausea and parasites.

Lemon water is good for the cardiovascular and muscular system

It’s a great drink for before and after exercise.

Lemon water helps break up sediment and stones in the gallbladder

This in turn encourages bile production in the liver to increase, hydrochloric acid levels in the gut to rise, and the reductions of bad acids that cause acid reflux.

Okay, so now you’ve heard the highlights of Medical Medium teaching on some benefits of lemon water, is it time you make some for yourself?

How do you make lemon water?

As I said at the start, its basically one lemon (or you can start with a half) freshly squeezed into 1 litre (or you can start with 500ml) of your best quality purified water. No additions. No mixing with other fruits. Nothing. Simple. It is great if you have it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Leave it 20 – 30 mins before having anything afterwards, including your Celery Juice, if you drink it like me.

For my inquisitive friends who (like me) prefer a visual to be absolutely sure, here is a video I made earlier!

So my friend, I invite you to take up this lemon water practice. This has done wonders for me, for years! Wouldn’t it be great if it helps you too?

I look forward to hearing how you get on.

Thank You Old Year. Hello New Year. Be Intentional.

The start of a new year. I can’t remember a new year where I didn’t feel excited. Like there was some freshness in the air. A chance to hit the reset button of my life, or at least the reset button of my feelings and emotions. A childlike feeling of excitement that momentarily forgets about the challenges or difficulties of the outgoing season. Something curious about the fact that everyone in this massive world community is pondering over this transition into a new year, all at around the same time, and being a part of that. A part of something so much bigger than ourselves. All of this creates a build up and so many different emotions.

Well, how do you approach this special transition? Do you talk about resolutions or goals? Do you use the language of becoming new or renewed? Do you dread this time of the year and simply ‘opt-out’? Perhaps you make promises to yourself about changes you would like to make in your life? Perhaps your excitement transitions into guilt 8 weeks later when you realise your life hasn’t really begun to change in the way you intended?

Hmmmmm……….

I’ll share what I tend to do. Feel free to try it out if you like the sound of it.

Look over your shoulder and smile

Well, I like to start with looking back. Looking back at the old outgoing year. I like to see on paper what my highlights were and what I enjoyed about the year. I also like to see what big events or challenges or hurdles I had to overcome. Successfully or not so successfully, and just acknowledge them, good or bad. An exciting trip, an admission to hospital, a friendship that withered away. A delicious meal, designing my book cover, the feelings of bodily peace. The times you caught a glimpse of your true authentic character unfiltered, and the laughter you had from a nourishing friendship.

I jot these down with pencil on paper, preferably in little circles or squiggly shapes like clouds, and just get it all down, out of my head. This is fun, and the larger the piece of paper the better. I do like using my journal, but I run out of space so I prefer to use a larger sketch type pad that I keep tucked away for big creative moments like this.

Or if you’re not much of a writer, you could try going for a walk while recording yourself on your phone, saying all your highlights out loud. I did both this year and it was really fun, especially as my thoughts were rolling out faster than I could write! So later on when writing, I could use the audio to check I hadn’t forgotten anything.

Give space for acknowledgement

Then when you’re quite done giving acknowledgement to the outgoing year, start the process again for what you would like to see happen in your life for the new year.

Hello new year! What’s occurring?

This should be fun! Remember, if there are things you are afraid to say because you think there’s no point in wishing for it, then write it down! Don’t hold back. Sometimes it takes writing something down to bring it to life, and really admit it to yourself. Because I’ve done this a few times, I now know that you want to be as specific as you can. Also give things a deadline, like a date for when you want something to happen or to start taking shape.

This starts to take you into the territory of writing goals, which isn’t really what this post is about, so more on that another time. But this process is all about bringing clarity and focus and deliberate intention to what is important for your life. It’s about taking the time to give breathing space to your thoughts and to what’s in your heart. To really bring it to life and help you make real authentic decisions about what direction to take next, to get to where you would really like to be.

I’d love to hear how you get on.
