But first, lemon water.... then Coffee!

I have a long-standing love affair with coffee (and chocolate, but I’ll save that topic for another day), so I was delighted to receive a special package of Indonesian Kopi Luwak coffee from one of my clients! But, as much as I enjoy a delicious cup of coffee in the morning, I always start my day with a hot cup of lemon water first.

Drinking hot or warm lemon water first thing in the morning has many benefits. I tell all my clients that adding this simple step to their morning routine will help improve the clarity, texture, and overall health of their skin. According to Shape Magazine, drinking hot lemon water every morning helps your body flush out toxins, wakes up your digestive tract, and balances your body’s pH.

“The term pH stands for power of hydrogen, which is a measurement of the alkaline-acidity balance of your body tissues and organs. Ideally, the healthiest pH is slightly alkaline, and even though lemons are acidic on the outside, they’re actually an incredibly alkaline food when absorbed by the body. When your body’s pH is out of whack (excessively acidic), which can be caused by things like alcohol, stress, lack of exercise and a diet high in processed foods, your body's immune system becomes compromised, leading to inflammation and disease. Incorporating lemon juice into your daily diet will help keep things in balance.”

The benefits of drinking lemon water complement the benefits of DMK Enzyme Therapy. Enzyme Therapy promotes health in the skin by removing toxins, debris, and free radicals from around the cells. This clean environment allows cells to work properly and efficiently resulting in stronger, healthier, smoother, younger glowing skin! Who doesn’t want that?

Although highly beneficial, lemon water can ruin the enamel on the teeth, so make sure to rinse your mouth thoroughly after drinking!

Enjoy the cold and cloudiness this week, San Diego. Cheers to warm and healthy cups of lemon water before coffee!
