This warm lemon spicy drink is my morning “Go To” everyday!
As a little girl, my grandfather taught me to drink warm lemon water upon rising because it was good for me. It wasn’t until I started studying nutrition that I learned all of its benefits! He was definitely on to something! Lemon water is rich in vitamin C, helps hydrate and alkalize your body, cleanses your liver, helps reduce joint and muscle pain, and helps with your digestive system. Apple cider vinegar helps lower blood sugar levels, reduces cholesterol levels and improves heart health; and it also aids in weight loss and belly fat. Cayenne pepper helps boost metabolism, reduce hunger and help your digestive system. Studies show it also may help lower blood pressure, improve psoriasis and even help reduce the risk of cancer. All this packed into a 16 ounce warm cup of goodness…can’t beat that!
IN A LARGE MUG ADD THE FOLLOWING:
16 ounces of warm to hot filtered water
1/2 large lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons unfiltered apple cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (go lightly at first)
Mix together and enjoy sipping away!
