Have you been drinking lemon water?

Lemon water with fresh mint leaves

I'm sure you've come across several Facebook posts suggesting to drink lemon water.

I did and I've tried it too!

On my recent trip to Ilog Maria with my friends, we passed by a fruit vendor in Tagaytay along the road going to Silang selling lemon for P100 a kilo. Yup, you read that right! P100 a kilo and they're the freshest bunch of lemons I've ever seen!

Fresh mint leaves from my Dad's aquaponics

I bought a kilo thinking I wouldn't make any Cream Dory anytime soon (usually the only reason why I'd buy lemon!) just because it's so cheap! But I'm glad I did because I started putting it in our drinking water with a few leaves of peppermint from my Dad's aquaponics and I've never enjoyed drinking water since then.

I'm also not sure if lemon water should take credit for it but I also lost 3.5 kilos since we started drinking lemon water. A friend of mine who went from 85 kilos to 70 kilos in 3 months also said he drinks a glass of warm lemon water every morning.

Aside from helping you to lose weight, lemon water is also said to help boost the immune system as it helps flash out toxins from our body. Got common cold? Try drinking lemon water as it is a rich source of Vitamin C. It is also said to be a natural 'Gatorade' as it helps replenish lost salts in your body after a work out.

Are you convinced yet? A glass of cold lemon water is naturally refreshing and works wonders for your system plus you can avoid drinking that unnecessary sugar from juices or powdered iced tea especially now it's summer time!

What are you waiting for? Go grab your lemons now!
