Drink a large mug of warm water with 1/4 teaspoon of Himalayan sea salt and fresh lemon first thing each morning.
WHY?
Water: rehydrates & flushes out toxins in vital organs (created by body’s healing processes while you sleep) & delivers nutrients to cells.
Himalayan Sea Salt: replenish electrolytes & minerals lost during sleep.
Prevents gout, cramp & kidney stones.
Lemon: the juice and pulp offer multiple micronutrients:
Vitamin C *- prevents damage by free radicals which cause inflammation in the body.
Folate - prevents cognitive decline (which leads to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease), cancer, certain psychiatric illnesses and cardiovascular conditions.
Citric acid - cleans out calcium stones & prevents the production of excess stomach acid.
Tip: While the kettle is boiling do either of the following:
10 squats, some stretches or close your eyes and do four deep breaths like this - in for a count of 4, hold for a count of 7 and exhale through the mouth (really pushing out all the air) for a count of 8.
Your body & mind will be so grateful to you for acquiring this new simple but life-enhancing habit.
Charly with a WHY x
Buy organic lemons if you can and you can find Himalayan sea salt in any large supermarket or health food shop like Whole Foods or Holland and Barrett.
