so i’m going to talk about why lemon water is essential if you’re doing

fasting and the ketogenic diet now

typically when you think of lemons you think of acid right

citric acid and lemon juice and lemons are really good to decrease the risk of

kidney stones because they help bind with oxalates okay and most kidney

stones are calcium oxalate stones there is some

vitamin c in lemons okay but not if it’s in a jar and it’s

pasteurized because the heat destroys the vitamin c

the other side note that you need to know is that

any time you consume vitamin c in your body or any food with vitamin c

and at the same time you’re consuming sugar

what’s going to happen is your body is going to absorb

the sugar but not the vitamin c because their chemistry is very similar

the body will always absorb sugar before vitamin c

and i can think of like lemonade for example where

people take the lemons and all the sugar they’re thinking oh yeah i’m gonna

get some vitamin c no they’re not okay so

there’s some other benefits of lemon juice or

lemons and you could use the juice of one lemon which is one ounce of lemon

juice or just lemon juice for what i’m going to recommend now

what’s interesting about citrus in general

and lemon juice or lime juice is that after you consume it

within one hour that acid turns to an alkaline substance it turns

alkaline so lemons are good for people

that have acidosis where their ph is slightly too acidic okay that means

the ph has dropped down now normally the blood ph should be

between 7.35 and 7.45

okay now anything above 7 more alkaline so the blood is naturally

alkaline but if it goes below this 7.35

you start developing a condition called acidosis now here are the symptoms for

acidosis shortness of breath your breathing is

affected labored breathing deep breathing

headaches because you’re actually getting

too much co2 you’re tired confusion tremors sleepy

arrhythmias increase heart rate okay so these are all the symptoms of

acidosis what’s interesting about that is there’s

this concept that if you’re too acid you’re always unhealthy we need to

alkalize the body okay alkalizing the body for every

condition is a good thing uh including cancer but that’s actually

not true you don’t want to be too alkaline

you don’t want to be too acid you want to be exactly right where you

should be but in this video i wanted to talk about the symptoms of being too

acidic and what causes that and the remedy

would be lemon juice and you can put in your water so what

causes our bodies to become too acidic keto

and fasting could do it now if your body is healthy you’re not going

to develop acidosis okay from this right here but ketones in

general are acidic and when you do a ketogenic

diet low carb and you do fasting you’re going to have more ketones you

might have more acid in the body and so drinking lemon juice can help

reduce some of the excess acidity if your kidneys are damaged you can

develop acidosis if you have too much iron you can have

too much acidosis alcohol will put you in a state

of acidosis and then you have a condition called lactic acidosis

i’ve done some videos on this i’ll put the links down below

but this occurs when you consume metformin which is a medication for

diabetes one of the side effects would be lactic acidosis

but really this mainly occurs if you are b1 deficient

if you’re consuming a lot of carbs that’s going to deplete b1

or refined grains especially so if you have acidosis taking b1 can

greatly help that now ketoacidosis is very rare

this only occurs if you’re a type 1 diabetic and you fail to take your

insulin so i mean taking lemon water is not

going to create a big change for this if you’re interested in

more information i put a link down on this but

this is very rare and this is not going to happen to anyone who is

healthy so if you do a keto diet or fasting you’re not going to develop this

unless you’re a type 1 diabetic and you fail to take your insulin it delivers

damage you can actually go into acidosis from

that excess exercise can also put you in a state of

acidosis now there’s other things that can do it too for example

if you’re consuming a tremendous amount of apple cider vinegar or

you do kombucha tea like uh in the past i remember drinking a whole bottle of

kombucha tea very very acidic and i definitely went

into a state of acidosis because my heart rate

started going very very high just pounding and pounding and pounding

and i had some of these symptoms my breathing was off

i couldn’t sleep at night so what i did is i drank some lemon juice

okay bam handle it so realize that the lemon

turns alkaline after about an hour and it’ll start to adjust your ph

that way there’s certain conditions that will cause this

and there’s certain conditions that will cause this

and you want to be right in the middle right here if you’re doing fasting

if you’re doing keto i would recommend to do this even while you’re fasting

take some lemon maybe about one ounce put that

in water drink that down and that way you can help minimize

this condition right here and some of these symptoms

thanks for watching hey we’re back with another amazing

recipe no grains no sugar totally keto there’s no

suffering in keto absolutely not karen and it’s an immune system builder

absolutely you have to check this out i think you should hurry up
