Treat Your Body To Some Lemons!

 

Since I have been breaking out a bit, I have been going back to my trusty lemon water. I can always count on it to lessen the redness of my blemishes and makes my skin look glowing. Water helps to purify your body and get rid of the nastiness and bring in all the goods! This detox takes some getting used to because the lemon can come off like drinking Lysol... but I promise you'll get used to it after a while. 

I put in 3 slices of lemon into a tumbler full of water and casually sip on it as much as I can. Sometimes I'll keep the ends of the lemon to rub in on my face, because the acid in lemons helps with acne scarring. The combination of lemon and water really does work wonders for your body and skin; it's really helped me to control the oiliness in my face and tame my acne a bit.

Don't believe me? Here are some commonly known facts, simplified from "Detox and Body Cleanse.com" 

• Lemon water helps your digestive system chug along, making food be digested more efficiently and quicker.
• It helps your immune system fight against the common cold and the flu. "According to nutrition expert Michele Chevalley Hedge, lemon juice also allows the body to absorb more iron, which is a necessary nutrient for keeping the immune system working at its best." 
• Acidity of lemon water can aid to prevent aging. The antioxidants in this stuff are really going to be your best friend. 
• Cleanses the urinary tract (it's true because I pee every 5 mins) and also the liver. 
• The Vitamin C in it, really helps to revitalize the overall well being of a person. Helps bone and teeth strength, helps skin, eyesight and joints. 
• The benefits that I didn't even know until doing the research are: 1) it helps to tame people's appetite who are trying to loose weight (which I noticed I don't crave junk food as much as I did). & 2) It helps to avoid depression and anxiety (is kind of true, because I do feel more relaxed and not really stressing as much about school or anything like that recently).  

 I have been following "Acne Skin Site" on Twitter ever since I began my Accutane journey a while back, and the tips and tricks they tell you on this page really inspire you. They are the one's who really motivated me to drink lemon water to better my skin + have bonus health benefits! Go follow them to keep updated on their latest health advice!

Go drink some lemon water! After reading all of the benefits and following Acne Skin Site, you should really be drinking more lemon water! BTW you don't need to substitute this detox for every beverage you drink in a day, just drink it more often! Your body and youthful glowing skin will thank you later! :)
