Everyone’s been asking us about our morning routine…
Okay, they haven’t. And admittedly we are not morning people. Something we do always allow time for though is our warm lemon water with sea salt to start our days. It's become a necessary first step to kick off our days, not to mention our digestive system.
We’re not here to be registered dieticians or nutritionists, we are just sharing something that’s pretty harmless that works for us. There are some benefits to this at-home morning drink and we feel it in our guts (literally) when we skip it. Electrolytes are trending right now as there are so many health benefits to consuming salt (in a healthy way) in your diet and with this drink, you are making your own electrolyte drink that you can feel good about.
Here are another 10 great reasons to drink lemon water list that really explained it better than we could from Thyme and Honey.
Lemon helps dissolve the uric acid in joints and can help decrease inflammation.
The alkalizing effects of lemon and sea salt help balance your body’s delicate ph.
It aids in the proper absorption of both food and water throughout the day and helps improve the uptake of essential nutrients.
Helps boost immune function with a quick dose of vitamin c. One lemon has 139% of your daily vitamin c.
Get a glow! Both lemon and sea salt have benefits for the skin.
Sea salt combined with lemon can help reduce cellular toxicity by pulling waste from your cells.
The sea salt helps neutralize the lemon, making the lemon water less acidic for your teeth.
Hydrates you more than plain water thanks to the added nutrients.
Helps freshen your breath by killing bad bacteria in your mouth and throat.
Helps jumpstart digestion and gear up your metabolism.
Why we specifically love Redmond Real Sea Salt. (not sponsored, just huge fans of the brand). Their sea salt, which is mined in the USA, contains no artificial additives or unhealthy pollutants. Feel good about your sea salt containing over 60 naturally-occurring trace minerals, and never being processed or chemically treated. What a joy to have such an awesome everyday ingredient that comes straight out of nature.
You can follow these easy steps, or check out our video here.
Start with pouring some sea salt into the bottom of your glass. Start with less, you can always add more!
Wash then slice your lemon in half. Using your squeezer, put half of a lemon juice into each glass.
Lastly, use hot water from either the sink or microwave water to warm in a carafe. Fill each glass from there.
Drink your warm lemon water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach - cheers!
