3 Delicious Options To Have Lemon In The Morning
In previous articles we have already talked about the benefits of drinking lemon in the morning and on an empty stomach. It is an excellent way to cleanse the body to aid weight loss, to optimize basic functions and to obtain a wealth of vitamins and minerals.
How to resist?
According to several investigations carried out in this regard, drinking lemon in the morning would help us improve digestion thanks to its diuretic action, and, in turn, would cause a strengthening of the immune system ; therefore, it is a healthy habit that we cannot abandon.
However, it may happen that on certain occasions we get a little tired of drinking lemon juice in the same way. That is why today we want to share three delicious options.
1. Have an aloe vera and lemon smoothie in the morning
This option is a simple and refreshing way to start the day and, in addition, it can offer us good results.
According to a study published by the International Journal of Nursing Research and Practice (IJNRP) , this lemon-based drink would be suitable for purifying the body and helping with weight loss in cases of obesity.
How can we prepare this smoothie?
We will need the following ingredients:
- Aloe vera (20 g).
- Water (250 ml)
- The juice of a lemon.
- Honey (5 g).
To prepare this smoothie:
- We will obtain the gel from the inside of the aloe vera plant. We must remove it with a spoon and be careful not to hurt ourselves.
- Later, we will take it to that kettle where we will have previously boiled the glass of water. We will allow it to mix well and leave a homogeneous drink.
- We add the lemon juice to the infusion that we have made with aloe vera. We will let it rest and let it cool down a bit.
The ideal is to take it on an empty stomach at room temperature and if we add that tablespoon of honey, it will be even more delicious.
2. Lemon with baking soda
Combining the juice of a lemon with a tablespoon of baking soda stands out as an option that is as refreshing as it is beneficial.
Experts often recognize bicarbonate as a possible ally to relieve heartburn and facilitate digestion.
However, being objective and cautious about all this, it should be said that it should be ingested only in the recommended doses and, preferably, under a prescription since if it is abused for long periods of time, it can lead to serious side effects.
How do we prepare the lemon and bicarbonate drink?
We will only need:
- Water (250 g).
- Sodium bicarbonate.
- Juice of one lemon.
We will drink it freshly made and fasting only on specific occasions. After half an hour, we will have breakfast normally.
3. Lemon juice with mint, ginger and cucumber in the morning
What is the secret of this juice based on lemon, ginger, mint and cucumber?
Which can help us, according to a study carried out by a team of researchers from the Los Angeles de Chimbote Catholic University, to purify the body thanks to the combination of its anti-inflammatory and diuretic ingredients. In this way, it would be possible to improve digestion in a natural and healthy way.
We can follow this option 10 days a month in the morning and on an empty stomach. In the event that we want to carry out a more intensive treatment to achieve a flat stomach, instead of a single glass in the morning, a liter can be prepared to drink throughout the day.
It is simple to elaborate and we will only need to be constant and complement this remedy with some exercise and a suitable diet to see the results.

How we will prepare it:

What is easy? In addition, if we add a couple of ice cubes, we will get a refreshing drink that is perfect for the summer.
As it has been proven, making variants of this remedy is not complicated at all. We just need to get our favorite ingredients and encourage ourselves to try them to choose the one that best suits each of us.
