Skin and health benefits of drinking lemon juice daily- no sugar!




I am a big believer of what you put in your body comes out in your skin. 


Dermatologists always say that diet doesn't affect your skin. I believe that is RUBBISH. Why? Because I see it every day with my own body. 

Eating a fresh, varied and where possible, organic, diet full of tonnes of colorful vegetables and fruit is so good for your health, and can give you energy, improve your immune system and even heal your body.


It is another benefit of healthy eating that you will have glowing, clear, healthy skin- and drinking lemon juice every day is a great start and a great way to keep you on track throughout the day.


Lemon juice is full of Vitamin C, citric acid, calcium, magnesium and very importantly, works as a natural digestive.  

When our bodies are clogged up with fast food, sugar, alcohol and other nasties this is reflected in our skin-  our skin could become dull, lifeless or broken out in spots or even rashes.  

Lemon juice works to flush out and cleanse all the toxins from your insides, as well as having an antibacterial effect. 


Along with a balanced diet, this not only results in you feeling lighter and less lethargic, but your skin should be glowing with health- from the inside


Furthermore, I don't know about everyone, but there are moments throughout the day when I struggle to stay on my healthy eating path- I'm looking at you 

"10.30am morning tea time can I have a muffin and pretend it's not really a cake" and
  
"3.30pm do I really have another 1 1/2 hours of work can I please have a chocolate bar, please!"

But I find continually drinking lemon juice throughout the day (equal to about 2 small lemons) diluted in purified water, helps to keep me motivated to stay on track and decreases my sugar cravings. For me, this is a massive bonus!

Lemon juice is the original, cheap, healthy, natural, no gimmick detox- try it!
