Revitalize Your Morning Routine: Lemon Next to Bed

Are you tired of waking up feeling lethargic and uninspired? Does your morning routine consist of hitting the snooze button multiple times, dragging yourself out of bed, and stumbling to the coffee maker like a zombie? Well, my friend, it’s time to shake things up! Introducing the magical powers of lemon. Yes, you read that right. The humble citrus fruit has the potential to transform your mornings into something truly magical.

Why Lemon?

Before we delve into how lemon can revitalize your morning routine, let me explain why this small yet mighty fruit is worth incorporating into your life. Lemons are jam-packed with health benefits that will give you an instant boost right from the get-go. Check these out:

  • High in Vitamin C
  • Boosts metabolism
  • Aids in digestion
  • Helps flush toxins from body
  • Enhances mood
  • Reduces inflammation

So yes folks, lemons are not just for adding flavor to water or garnishing fish tacos anymore.

Where To Begin?

It starts with placing a bright yellow organic lemon next to your bed at night (don’t forget to clean it first). When you wake up in the morning and see that burst of vibrant color waiting for you on your nightstand, it sends signals of excitement throughout every cell in your body…or maybe just one or two cells but still – its pretty exciting!

Step 1: Cut That Lemon Up!

Now here comes step one – cutting the lemon. Before eating anything else in the morning (yes even before brushing those pearly whites), cut off a slice or two (note: wash hands after touching raw meat) and simply squeeze them directly into your mouth – pulp included! I know this may be painful initially (insert crying emoji) but trust me once you get used to it there’s no turning back.

Step 2: Be Patient

Next, wait at least ten minutes before consuming breakfast (please don’t skip breakfast entirely) or sipping on that coveted cup of coffee. During this time feel free to stretch in bed, meditate or practice conscious breathing (tip: try counting backwards from 10 while inhaling and exhaling).

Step 3: Drink Warm Lemon Water

Now it’s time for step three – making yourself a warm lemon water elixir. Simply boil some water (pro tip: use filtered water if possible) and pour into your favorite mug along with another slice of lemon. Let the concoction sit for a few seconds so that the warmth releases all of those tasty antioxidants into the drink then sip away.

Benefits Galore!

If you’re thinking “why go through all this work just to consume one little fruit?” let me tell you, it’s worth every squeeze (pun intended). Here are just some benefits of incorporating lemons first thing in the morning:

  • Reduces stress
  • Improves skin quality
  • Increases energy levels
  • Boosts immune system
  • Helps maintain healthy weight
  • Provides a caffeine-free alternative to kickstart day

Can I get an amen?

Other Uses for Lemons

Lemons not only taste great but their uses range far beyond consumption.

Cleaning Agent

Lemons can be used as natural cleaning agents to rid surfaces such as counter-tops or cutting boards from bacteria-causing germs (fact: there could be more germs on your cutting board than toilet seat!) Combine half a cup of lemon juice onto two cups water and voila!, you have yourself an effective yet eco-friendly clean solution.

Summer Fun!

Summer is upon us which means hot temperatures – cue heat exhaustion! Fear not though, our trusted friend Mr.Lemon has got us covered. Adding slices of lemon to water helps maintain electrolyte balance- preventing dehydration.

Lemon For The Skin

Lemons contain a natural acid that can reduce dark spots caused by sun damage or aging, ie pesky wrinkles! Simply mix lemon juice with honey and apply it to areas in need of some love (warning: avoid direct sunlight after application as skin will be more susceptible to UV rays).

In Conclusion…

In conclusion, incorporating lemons into your morning routine might seem like an odd concept but believe me when I say that the effects are worth trying out for at least one week. With all these benefits under its belt, why not give it a try? So next time you’re feeling sluggish in the morning grab(pun intended again) yourself an organic lemon and give your mornings the punch they deserve.

Cheers & Happy Juicing!
