5 Reasons to drink Lemon Water in the Morning .

5 Reasons to drink Lemon Water in the Morning 

There has been a lot of talk about the benefits of drinking "Lemon Water " - that is , water with some fresh lemon juice squeezed into it . 

The most common thing you hear that despite being acidic , lemon juice is alkalizing or  "alkaline forming " . Acidity and its opposite , alkalinity , are measured on a scale called pH scale . 

• The lowest pH scale is 0 .
• The highest pH scale is 14 .
• Pure distilled water is pH 7 , and said to be alkaline .
• Lemon juice when pure ,has a pH of around 2.2 to 2.4 , depending upon the ripeness of lemon .
• However , when lemon juice diluted with water , the pH level shifts to 7 .

Lemon water is considered by many to be magnificent " detox drink " and it is one of the things  that is ubiquitous when you visit the spa. Its good to stay hydrated , especially when you visit the sauna or during the typical bodywork practices such as massage etc . Lemon water is thought to assist with removal of toxins , in addition to supporting vital organs such as liver , kidneys and gall bladder . It's thought that lemon water will flush and cleanse the system - especially when taken first thing upon waking .

Note - that other citrus fruits are considered beneficial in water also . Oranges , grapefruit , lime , and other citrus fruits are also alkalizing , though not as strongly lemons .

So , without further a do , today ,I am going to tell you 5 reasons why you should drink lemon water first in the morning .

1 - It balances pH scale of body . - Lemon is an acidic food , but once metabolized , it becomes alkaline .

2 - It keeps skin clear and glowing . - Hydration from drinking lemon water is great for moisturizing our skin from inside out . Lemon also contains lot of Vitamin C , which helps with wrinkles and blemishes .

3 - It kick starts the digestive system . - A big glass of  freshly squeezed lemon water is a great way to start the day . It encourages the liver to produce bile which in turn aids in digestion .It increase urination ,which helps to purify or detox the body . It also helps with heartburn and constipation .

4 - It helps with weight loss .- Lemon keeps the body in an alkaline state , that helps people to lose faster . Lemons are high in fiber pectin , which helps keep one full , longer . They also have a diuretic effect , which helps with water weight gain .

5 -  It helps control the coffee habit . - Lemon water helps to pop the old habit of drinking caffeine , tea or coffee in the morning . In fact , you should start drinking luke warm lemon water in the morning . It will detoxify your body too .

The unique restaurant serves the Vegetarian as well as Non -Vegetarian Delicacies from the hustle & bustle streets of the Chandini Chowk to the alleys of China .  You have very vivid choice to make right from standing and nibbling the crunchy goal gappas to specialties from Tandoor / Bhatti & wok , the great Chinese specialities . They have the counter for ice cream which serve not only scoops but  gigantic Sundaes . They also have variety  Non - alcoholic beverages as you can enjoy from mocktails , masala chai , flavored teas and many more .

There is a separate Mithai counter where traditional Sweets are made out only from Pure desi ghee . The Mithais are satvik and  prepared fresh daily . The owner is a devotee of Sai Baba .Gangajal is sprinkled around Mithai Counters & preparataion areas daily.

Nihaari : The Nihaari is a perfect blend of spices and the meat is so tender . It melts in mouth . If you love Non-Veg , do try their Nihaari and Butter Chicken .


Chanchini ki Daal : Dal makhani prepared fresh with flavors oozing in every bite. A perfect blend of lentils with Indian masalas topped with malai and butter, went well with rotis. good option for Vegetarians.



Missi Roti : I love the traditional and healthy Indian flat bread Missi Roti  there , whole wheat and gram flour spiced with freshly ground masalas with oodles of butter on it .



Garlic Naan : Garlic Flavored bread cooked in a tandoor .It is one of my favorite bread served in the lunch . So soft and gooey , served with butter which make it more amazing .
