Spring Cleaning

Now that the weather has turned to spring over most of the U.S., many people turn their minds to spring cleaning. There is something renewing about opening up windows, letting in the fresh air and sunshine in, and clearing out your space to make room for new, healthy opportunities.

While you may focus on cleaning house, Water2Drink invites you to consider the health of your body, organs, and tissues.  Our bodies are more than 60 percent water, the brain and muscles are 75%, bones are about 22%, and the blood is an astounding 92% water. Keeping your organs in top working condition and preventing toxic buildups in the body can be helped by a simple solution: drink clean, filtered water with fresh lemon.

Drinking water with lemon has a variety of benefits.  Staying hydrated is the most important, but there are others equally as important. Lemons are an #alkaline food when ingested (the citric acid does not create acidity in the body once it’s metabolized). Water with lemon helps with weight loss, both because of its alkaline properties and also because of lemon’s high pectin fiber content, which helps fight cravings.  The vitamin C contained in lemon juice can boost your immune system, control blood pressure, helps dissolve uric acid that often is related to joint #inflammation, and cleanse toxins from the blood, which helps to clear the skin. Lemons are also a good source of citric acid, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous.

It’s easy to add this simple tonic to your day.  Simply start your day by drawing 8 to 12 ounces of filtered water and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. It’s best to drink this tonic when you first rise, at room temperature or warmed slightly (warm the filtered water in a tea kettle or small saucepan, pour it into a cup, and then add the lemon juice), as ice cold water may hinder the digestive benefits. Drinking freshly filtered drinking water from your tap using a Multipure Drinking Water System gives you convenient, clean, mineral-rich water from your local water source. It also eliminates the need for expensive bottled water and negates the impact of plastic bottles on the environment.
