- Hey, guys. Dr. Berg here.

In this video, we’re gonna talk about lemon water

and the importance of it.

I recommend it for all my clients,

not necessarily just for the vitamin C,

because it does have a lot of vitamin C.

In fact, two lemons a day will give you all the vitamin C

that you need for the entire day.

And just as a side note,

vitamin C, what is it good for?

Bleeding gums.

If you brush your teeth

and you get a little redness on there,

that means you’re deficient in vitamin C.

It’s a mild version of scurvy.

Fatigue.

That’s one.

Spider veins, varicose veins.

Loss of collagen, so you get loose skin.

And by the way, your adrenals hold a lot of vitamin C.

So that’s the storage, so it can make more collagen,

so that’s why adrenal cases, burnt out adrenals,

they have a loss of collagen or protein.

Nosebleeds, bruising,

but the most important thing to think about or consider

is micro hemorrhaging of the arteries.

What does that mean?

It means that there’s little bleeding lesions that occur

in your blood vessels from a vitamin C deficiency,

and what happens?

The cholesterol and the calcium come in there

and plug it up as a band-aid,

and that’s what clogs arteries.

It’s not the cholesterol in the fat.

It’s the micro-hemorrhage, the damage in the artery first,

then the other ones come later, okay?

And even with an artery that has an aneurysm

that can turn into a stroke eventually, if it blows out,

that’s the vitamin C deficiency,

because vitamin C strengthens the walls

of the capillaries and arteries, okay?

So you can see the importance of vitamin C.

You can get vitamin C from vegetables, citrus,

lemon, lemon water, or also you can use actual lemon juice.

I like to use a pure lemon, like an organic blend,

and like two to four tablespoons would be one lemon, okay?

And you put that in your water.

Have it at least once a day, okay?

If you were to add some apple cider vinegar in there,

you could also create a nice little drink,

and you could even add a little, a couple drops of Stevia

to make a nice little lemonade, okay?

Now, why do we need lemon?

Why do we need lemon water?

Okay, the most important is it counteracts kidney stones.

Now, when you eat certain foods,

like healthy foods, like spinach, kale,

if you eat lentils, beans, nuts,

they’re high in something called oxalates, okay?

And if you combine oxalates with too much calcium,

so if you have too much oxalate

and too much calcium in the kidney,

you could develop kidney stones, okay?

That’s the most common source of kidney stones,

and that can be a very, very painful.

So citrates from the lemon or lime

will dissolve the stones

or prevent the stones from growing, okay?

That is the biggest purpose of lemon water.

It counters and protects you against the kidney stones.

It dissolves them, and your body even makes citrates,

but if it’s deficient in that,

you need to add it externally from lemons or limes,

which are almost identical, as far as the citrates,

and that way you can prevent stones

and continue to have foods high in oxalates,

like kale, cruciferous,

all the different, broccoli and things like that.

So that’s what I recommend.

Have your water, not just plain,

but always add some lemon in it,

and you can use it from a bottle as well.

You don’t have to have a real lemon,

and go ahead and do this

and write down your success stories below.

I’ll see you in the next video.
