Hey ladies,
I have drank lemon water for about 11 yrs...and it really helps with indigestion. But you have to be careful with to much lemon juice on your face...It is a natural alphahydroxy and can burn if not used with water. So if you have used lemons alone on your face and have little blisters...well enough said..to strong and you need to add water.
Thanks
Deborah

My hubby drinks homemade lemonade w/ lemon juice from Costco and he is actually MUCH better from all his stomach problem he used to have--bloating, diarrhea...I told him i think it is the lemon! Sounds like it.

awesome info... You know was diagnosed with an inflamed stomach a few years ago, but then left hanging with no "treatment" after it didn't turn out to be bacteria (so glad I never filled that antibiotic) so I researched on my own and in addition to temporarily going on a raw food diet to lower the acid in my stomach, I drank lemon juice in my water and it helped so much, I could feel my stomach settling as I drank it. I should really keep this habit up more at home... But I didn't realize it could do all that other stuff too!

I've started keeping a pitcher in my fridge for myself and my DH enjoy at our leisure. I actually prefer it to be closer to room temp, but maybe that's just because it's cooler this time of year. Here's my question. I'd posted this on the farm kitchen page and got a few responses. I wanted to repeat it here. What do you do with all of the peels? For daily intake, that becomes a lot of lemons or zest. Any suggestions?

Holly, I put my peels in white vinegar, let it sit over night, and use it to clean windows, floors, etc. Works really good!

| Drinking lemon water can be beneficial, but I'd be careful to swish with plain water afterwards, because the acid in lemons can destroy tooth enamel. Hannah, your suggestion for using peels perfectly matches another thread about making cleanser with orange (or lemon) peels. It's here, with a little "recipe" and pictures to give you an idea of how many peels you need. http://www.maryjanesfarm.com/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=48341 |

Great post! When I'm being good --- I drink lemon water with a little sea salt in the mornings and then ACV with a tsp. of honey at night. I always feel better when I do these. Don't ask why I stop from time to time. I'm just crazy, is my only answer. LOL

Just a few sprinkles. (Probably much less than an 1/8 of tsp. More like a "dash" as mama used to say.) It is really good and refreshing.

I love lemon water, that being said, I haven't read all the comments so don't know if this has been said yet or not. But, if you are on medications that cause sun sensitivity or you are naturally sensitive to the sun, you may want to be on the careful side with the lemon water, the lemon can make you more prone to sun burn and sun sensitivity. I myself experienced that. Insulin can make you more sensitive to the sun-I'm a type one diabetic-on insulin is what that means, and I drink a ton of lemon water, just very very minor (like I was sitting in a tinted limo! For about 30 minutes on a March day) and all my face skin peeled off (like it had been sun burned). After that I had to start taking it easy on the lemon water.

I love lemon water! Sometimes I mix it up a bit and add some lime juice with it. I'm 14 weeks pregnant and I'm craving lemon's so bad they don't even make it into my water! I just eat them! In fact I need to get to the store and pick up some more!

Glad I came across this post! I've never known about all the benefits of lemon. I wonder if it will help with fluid retention? Every summer when it gets hot, I retain fluid in my legs. The doctors are baffled as to why it happens because nothing shows up on the gazillion tests I've gone through. Hmmm, maybe I'll try it for a few days.
