Lemon peel plays an important role

Make sure to have good lemons

First, you need to get the right lemons. Peel must not be impregnated with various chemical substances. Then you need to wash them thoroughly to remove any impurities or dirt. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a glass and pour water in. The water should be lukewarm, because warm water will release nutrients easier.

Best in the morning on an empty stomach

If you do, your digestion should improve as well as bile activity and your body will have an easier time to get rid of toxins. Another benefit is the increased intake of vitamin C and lemons contain plenty of it. Lemon water can also help you to lose weight. Many weight loss programmes use lemon water frequently.
