let’s talk about the real reason why you

should be drinking lemon water every

single day

the average person does not know the

true

benefits okay with an s of drinking

lemon water because it’s actually quite

amazing so let’s cover all of the key

points number one by drinking lemon

water on a regular basis

you have the potential to reduce a fatty

liver now this is the phytonutrients in

the lemon water that have the ability to

greatly improve

something called hepatic steatosis now

what does hepatic mean liver what does

steatosis mean that means the

infiltration of fat

into the liver so hepatic steatosis

means a fatty liver

lemon water has the ability to dissolve

the fat in the liver there’s other

things as well like purify bile salts

choline

a low-fat diet as in ketogenic diet can

reduce up to 50 of the fat

in your liver within 14 days but if you

add a little lemon to your water you can

actually speed things up all right

number two it can help reduce

cholesterol not that cholesterol is a

bad thing but let’s say your liver is

sluggish and your gallbladder’s sluggish

and you’re not producing enough bio and

that’s kind of backing up in the system

lemon water can help increase the flow

of bile through the bile ducts and help

remove some of the excess cholesterol

that’s kind of backing up in the system

all right number three

weight loss now lemon water does not

directly help you

lose weight

it can indirectly help you lose weight

now quite a few studies on animals have

shown this but i want to help you

understand the mechanism certain

phytonutrients in lemon water

stimulate

significantly lower blood sugars

they reduce

insulin

resistance

so they lower insulin and that is the

reason why someone can lose weight in

fact if you really want to know how to

lose weight what i would do is not try

to

research how to lose weight i would

research on how to lower

insulin because anything that lowers

insulin is going to help you lose weight

in fact the fat cells cannot shrink it’s

impossible for a fat cell to shrink

without lowering insulin despite your

calories all right number four

lemon has an anti-aging effect now yes

the studies were done in animals

but most studies do start in animals and

then you progress to humans but in the

five-week study they lived it on average

three weeks longer now you might be

saying well that’s not a long time

but that’s only five weeks think about

if you started drinking lemon water on a

regular basis for the rest of your life

it could add up and they also found that

lemon water extended the life of the

microbiome your friendly bacteria which

is pretty interesting all right number

five anti-cancer effects now i’m not

telling you that lemon water is going to

cure your cancer i’m not saying that but

it’s something you can add to help

inhibit

cancer in test tube studies it was found

that

certain phytonutrients in lemon water

were able to kill malignant cancer of

the tongue

of the lung

and the colon all right number six and

this is an important one

the reduction of kidney stones

citrate in lemon juice binds with this

thing called oxalate now the most common

type of kidney stone

are oxalate stones calcium oxalate

stones and so if you have citrate in

your body it can bind with the oxalates

to prevent the stone from occurring and

so people that have a tendency to have

kidney stones

are usually low in citrates and if

you’re prone to kidney stones

i would recommend

increasing the amount of lemon juice to

roughly about a half of a cup to a cup

of lemon juice every single day now

number seven

it can potentially give you vitamin c

but only if it’s from actual lemons that

have not been heated like in your lemon

juice that you would get in a bottle so

when you buy lemon juice at the store it

normally comes pasteurized and the

problem with vitamin c is that it’s

sensitive to heat it gets degraded and

destroyed with heat

so when you get bottled lemon juice

you’re really getting

next to zero vitamin c but if you get

your vitamin c from an actual lemon

let’s say you just take a lemon and you

squeeze it into water one lemon can

provide up to half of your daily

recommended vitamin c or should i say

like almost half so it gives you about

31 milligrams when you need like 70 to

75 per day and vitamin c is so good for

the immune system it’s good to prevent

bleeding gums it’s good to prevent

spider veins it helps form collagen

it helps keep your arteries from

becoming damaged and many other things

okay the last benefit of lemon water is

in its phytonutrients and there’s quite

a few and in these three phytonutrients

there’s benefit in improving hemorrhoids

leg sores circulation

spider veins and varicose veins in fact

one of the phytonutrients narenjian is

being tested as a potential treatment

for alzheimer’s disease it’s also very

antibacterial it has antiviral

properties as well as anti-fungal

properties

so start putting lemon in your water on

a regular basis

definitely add it with the apple cider

vinegar in your water i would recommend

the amount of lemon juice from the whole

lemon or just a couple teaspoons but be

consistent and include it in part of

your liquids on a regular basis now if

you haven’t seen my video on apple cider

vinegar
