I don’t understand why lemon juice can deal with hunger because everytime I drink lemon juice, I always feel hungry after that.
Am I missing the recipe? How much juice to water ratio? And I’ve read where warm water is better- does temp matter?
Squeeze 1/2 lemon into one glass (8 oz) of warm water. Yes warm water is better.
Why does this only work with warm water? I drink ice water all day long with a slice of lemon, will this give me any beneifits?
What about lemon juice? Like lemon juice in the bottle.
No, you need squeezed lemon juice.
You cut the lemon into 2 half and squeeze them to a glass, add sugar and warm water. Moreover, to balance the taste you can add salt but just a little.
This juice really good for your health, when you are flu, let you drink a glass one. When you have a cough, you can keep a slice of lemon in your mouth, it’s relly good.
i am acidic,can i still need to drink lemon water in the morning?
It is not recommended.
Can you add sugar?!?
I never tried this before, but worth a try.
Make sure you wash the outside of lemon, as I saw a TV news story about all of the bacteria on the rind
Dea Michael,
you can add honey instead of sugar.
Be bold try it strait up no sweeteners
