Beauty Food: Lemon Water for a Post-Thanksgiving Beauty Detox

November 26, 2011

Lemon Water Detox

Now that we’ve all consumed more calories than we care to remember it’s time to detox. The holiday season is always way too tempting with a myriad of delicious desserts, decadent chocolates and wonderful aromas tempting us every step of the way. I know that sweets are a huge weakness for me and this Thanksgiving, I definitely indulged way too much! So whenever I binge I try to balance that out by detoxing the next day.

Over the past few years I’ve used water – with a little bit of lemon juice to detox. There are many health benefits to drinking lemon water, weight loss is one. When I was overweight I would start my day off with a glass of room temperature water and the juice of half of a lemon. I remember reading that lemon juice helps the body to regulate its metabolism and sugar absorption; and it also helps improve digestion. Lemon water is great for those that are dieting but in fact lemon juice/lemon water has many other beneficial properties.

Benefits of lemon juice:

  • Assists in lowering high blood pressure
  • Reduces the amount of phlegm in the body
  • Lemon water can ease heartburn, bloating and other digestion problems
  • Lemon water cleanses and stimulates the liver and kidneys
  • Lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear

So needless to say I will be drinking ONLY water to continue my detox and I’ll have a second glass of lemon water before I head to bed for the evening. It feels great to be aware of how what I eat impacts my body and also make conscious choices on improving my health. So if you over-indulged this Thanksgiving don’t beat yourself up, it’s not to late to grab a lemon and some water!

Did you over-indulge this Thanksgiving?
