Benefits of Hot Lemon Water, ACV and Raw Honey & Ph Balance

A client asked me recently what the benefits were of drinking the "Elixir" I drink and love and recommend to others. What is this elixir, you may ask. It is a combination of the following ingredients: 8 oz. hot water 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (with the Mother) 1 tbsp raw honey lemon wedge I actually drink a double ... so everything x2 each morning. Love it. Here are SOME of the benefits of drinking this each and every day: Benefits of Hot Lemon Water:

• Flushes Toxins

• Ph Balance

• Aids in digestion

• Lowers inflammation

• Strengthens liver

• Helps with your skin

Benefits of Raw Honey:

• Antioxidant

• Helps with allergies (especially if local, i.e. within 10 miles of your home)

• Antibacterial

• Contains phytonutrients – vitamins you get from a plant based diet

• Aids in digestion

• Helps with sore throats

Benefits of ACV (w/ the Mother):

• Detoxifies

• Fights acid reflux and aids in digestion

• Helps with allergies

• Ph Balance

• Blood pressure regulator

• Contains live cultures = good bacteria

In looking at this list, you might say: "Why is Ph Balance important and what does that mean?". We want to make our bodies more alkaline and assuming most of us don't eat an entire plant based diet and consume acidic things like coffee, meat, alcohol, grains, sugar, processed foods, soda, etc., we need help. Eating plant based foods (especially greens) help make us more alkaline. Even tho you might think Lemon and Vinegar is acidic, these foods are actually quite alkaline! The more alkaline your body is, the less chance you have of cancer growing in your body. It's worth having a daily drink of this good stuff, isn't it?
