Morning Hack #1: Lemons

    Have you ever noticed that the way you start your morning seems to set the tone for the whole day? Whether you’re  a momma, a teacher, nurse, trainer, business owner, how you start your day matters.

    The choices you make concerning your daily routine either build up resistance to disease or tear it down, according to Ayurvedic philosophy. Each day we are provided the opportunity to start over. To make morning choices & build healthy routines that will not only start our days off on the right foot, but also allowing us to get into a natural rhythm and promote self care. It’s time we love ourselves a little more.
    So why don’t you have a morning routine that promotes health and self love? It’s probably because you’re a giver. You wake up, throw yourself together, get the kids up & ready for school, make sure everyone else has what they need, & pray to God you have what you need. Girl, I completely get it! You have a million & one things to do, so let’s start small.
    When life gives you lemons, make warm lemon water! I know that’s not the saying but hear me out. By adding just ½ a lemon to your water in the morning you are opening the beneficial floodgates of the Mighty Lemon.
    According to the article: Why You Should Drink Warm Water & Lemon, by Ashley Dentino There are 7 benefits that you stand to gain:
  1. Boosts your immune system
  2. Balances pH
  3. Helps with weight loss
  4. Aids digestion
  5. Acts as a gentle, natural diuretic
  6. Clear skin
  7. Hydrates the lymph system

    All of those benefits for just ½ a lemon and warm water! This one little step could revolutionize your mornings and set you up for huge gains down the road.
