The health benefits of adding lemon juice to warm water therapy in the morning is nolonger in doubt especially for seniors, these benefits ranges from tackling and controlling bad cholesterol, reducing excess body acidity. However, over the years we under rate these benefits probably due to familiarity or so many other herbs and remedies available to try. Thinking the later was my case, so I decided to ignore the benefits of lemon juice in morning water therapy for about 4 months and continued with other herbs in the morning such as lemon grass, lime juice, ginger and herbs like guava leaves tea occasionally, The availabiliy of these and several other herbs took my eyes away from lemon juice, ignored and believed that there is no much need to worry.
Remember that no 2 foods does exactly the same job in our body, even if they look alike, like lemon and lime. If you have been thinking of substituting lime for lemon, do not try it. It did not work for me, I made a video previously calling our attention to the difference between lemon and lime in how they behave inside our body using myself, however all these lecture were quickly forgotten and I continued without lemon juice in my warm water therapy in the morning:
Here are 4 things that began to happen following the removal of lemon juice for ab4 months:
1. Weight Gain.
Lemon juice in warm water in the morning had been quietly keeping weight gain under control and I took it for granted. Please do not welcome weight gain after menopause because it will open door for other ailments such as diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis to come in. There was noticeable increase in my body weight which was becoming difficult to manage.
2. Poor Sleep
While taking lemon juice in the daily warm water on empty stomach, little did I know that it was contributing silently to sleep quality and quantity. Do not forget that vitamin C acts like a calminative, it was calming my nerves, aiding digestion and all these were contributing to sleep quality and quantity yet I did not notice it until it was ignored im the diet.
3. Constipation became more frequent
With the absence of lemon juice, though with lime juice, it could not do the job of lemon juice which tend to go deeper to the cellular level as against the lime juice which tend to work more on the surface. When there is toxic build up, the colon becomes more sluggish and this tend to affect everything including aiding inflammations and suppressing immunity generally.
4. Joint Inflammations
Now someone may ask, how do you detect this? As for me, this was noticed when my joints especially the hands and palms started getting more stiff sometimes, becoming increasingly difficult to fold, initially I thought it was the frequent holding of phone and did not take it much serious except occasional massage with tumeric oil at bedtime which gives a little relief at bedtime, however, as soon as lemon juice was returned, there was noticeable improvement and it became clear that, the hand stiffness and joint worsened because lemon juice was out of the diet, despite oranges, limes, apples and sometimes pineapples. This experience really taught me many lessons about nutrition, especially the fact that no 2 foods does exactly the same job in our body even if they look alike.
Summary:
If you are a senior and already including lemon juice in your warm water in the morning, this is to assure you that it is supporting your health in ways unkown or not noticed by you, though there could be one or two off days but do not stay off for months like I did until these effects of its absence began to show up. These are just few effects, there were others too like slower digestion because of smaller amount of hydrochloric acid or digestive juice as I choose to call it. These smaller stomach acids for digestion is common with seniors, although there are several spices that helps too such as ginger, cloves, peppers but lemon is unique in some special properties to support seniors health.
