I like a slice of lemon in my glass of coke and even inside my bottle of beer. But ever heard of lemon water? This refreshing, rejuvenating drink is simply water with slices of lemon in it. I now have this habit of having a pitcher of lemon water next to me while working.
Try it. It’s really good. What are the benefits of drinking lemon water? Check this out:
Apart from being an amazing body alkalizer/alkaliser, lemon water also gives the following health benefits:
- Lemons are antiseptic.
- Lemon water has excellent digestive properties and can ease heartburn, bloating and other digestion problems.
- Lemon water cleanses and stimulates the liver and kidneys.
- Lemon juice contains calcium, magnesium and potassium.
- Lemon juice has been known to relieve asthma.
- Lemon water (hot) offers relief from cold and flu symptoms while providing some much needed Vitamin C.
- Lemon juice is a great skin cleanser.

Iska, I think I would like the lemon squeezed with some sugar to sweeten. I know a lot of people, though, who love lemon with their water or coke.
I like your photos especially the second one.

i used to equate lemon water with something that you dip your fingers in after eating seafood, hehe. pero my hubby has a penchant for it, he always asks for water with lemon whenever we go out to eat (mas matipid but a little more sossy than just water, haha!).

So refreshing indeed!
It was my mom who first introduced me to this when I visited them while my dad was based in Jakarta.
Thanks for letting me know its health benefits as well! I’m now making a mental note to serve this to my kids when we get back to the “kingdom” from our home leave here in Pinas. Am sure it will be a hit - especially with the scorching desert heat!
BTW, hope you don’t mind… have a quickie tag for you here:
