The benefits of lemon water goes beyond the fact that it can quench thirst better than any other drink – it also provides our bodies with plenty of vitamins, minerals and vital trace elements. It’s also a great energy booster for when we wake up first thing in the morning as our tissues are dehydrated and in desperate need of fluid to push out toxins.

Why warm? Why not cold? I’ve been drinking lemon water twice day for the last year and a half. Lovely stuff, it really is awesome, and a great way for me to insure I’m drinking enough water…! but I keep seeing online that it should be WARM without any explanation why.
It doesn’t need to be hot, just lukewarm. I drink it at room temperature. It was something to do with the cells perception. I can’t give you a scientific quote but it’s about the stress to your cells caused by cold drinks as the body has to warm it up to your body temperature first in order to absorb the nutrients. Icy cold water will hinder its digestive benefits.
“Water that is warm or room temperature will provide the most health benefits and allow for the full enzymatic and energetic properties of the lemon.”
“cells perception”
Are these sjw cells?
You are ever so right Ina, lukewarm is the BEST!!!
I just read that 69 year old Susan Lucci drinks it hot. She’s in a bikini in a magazine and looks 40.
Sorry Susan Lucci may look good for her age, but there is no way in hell she looks 40 without some airbrushing or photoshop!
To me, she looks like she needs to eat. Her bones stick out especially in her shoulders. And look at her hands…bony!
Alkaline is a verb, not a noun. Alkalinity is the noun form of the verb. More important, alkalinity is not a substance. It is a condition or property of a substance, whether it be a lemon or your stomach.
Wrong. Alkaline is an adjective.
You are absolutely right. I stand corrected. Thx. I was doing 10 other things when I wrote that.
Men don’t multitask and it’s now been proven :-)
Pretty much proven multitasking is no good for either sex. Brain focus is lost. It’s okay in an age where everyone is addicted to the iphone attention spans are gone in general
Alkaline is a noun or adjective depending on usage, alkalinity is an adverb or adjective again depending on its usage, alkalinity is a noun as subject of the sentence if and only if not an adjective. An adjective and noun at the same time would be a gerund.

I just read that 69 year old Susan Lucci drinks it hot and looks like she is 40 in this magazine I’m reading.
