9 Reasons to Drink Lemon Water in the Morning
This is a repost of an article by GreenMedInfo on February 24, 2022.   I found it fascinating about how many ways "Lemon" can support your health....and taste good too!  Do restaurants know about all of these benefits or do they just offer Lemon to augment the taste of water or tea?

Not too often though do we carry a Lemon in our wallet or purse, so the best way I found to have some "Lemon" around is to carry a small 5 ml bottle of pure lemon essential oil from Young Living.  Easier to carry and a convenient way of having "Lemon" available when you are out and about!

Think of using Lemon all the time...not just in the morning!

Here is the article:

Did you know that lemons have more potassium than apples or grapes? This interesting fact is just one of the many reasons why drinking lemon juice every morning can impact your health.

Starting your day with lemon juice is an excellent way to boost vitality, increase energy and cleanse out your system. The first thing you put in your body each day can have a big impact on your productivity and mood.

That’s why it’s recommended to start the day with a warm jar of lemon water. You can use anywhere from one-half to a whole lemon each morning. 

Note:  for the Lemon Essential oil - just 2 drops does the same as a whole lemon
