The lemon and water detox

THIS week I'm letting all my savvy chicks in on a secret -- this time it's related to that enemy called weight. Are you ready for it? Did you know that lemon/lime and water helps speed up weight loss and is an effective way to help eliminate toxins, clean internal waste, and promote energy boosts? Well now you know, I personally can testify to it -- I've tried, proven and seen the results!

This detox is super simple to make. All you need is lemon or lime -- your choice -- and warm water. Sugar is optional. Lemon is all natural, it's also a very refreshing combination for our bodies. Lemon is also used in many weight-control programmes.

You can start every morning with a cup and drink plenty of water throughout the day.

The lemon and water detox not only adds nicely to your weight loss programme, but it also provides other wonderful benefits that we need to keep us healthy and beautiful.

These include:

* Excellent for skin care: Lemon is a natural medicine, it aids in curing problems related to the skin. Lemon is a Vitamin C rich citrus fruit that enhances your beauty by rejuvenating skin from within and thus bringing a glow on your face... that is an inspiration to drink every morning!

* It aids in dental care: Lemon water is used in dental care also. Apply lemon juice on the areas around a toothache as it can assist in getting rid of the pain. Massaging lemon juice on gums can stop gum bleeding.

* It cures throat infections: It's well known that lemon and salt is excellent for fighting problems related to throat infections, sore throat and tonsillitis as it has an antibacterial property. For sore throat, dilute one-half lemon juice with one-half water and gargle frequently.
