Lemon helps to rehydrate the system by cleaning out the liver and kidneys. Moreover, they help out with the lymphatic system and the flow of waste out of the body.

Also, it is a natural energiser. It oxygenates your body by giving you a boost of energy similar to a cup of coffee.

Lemon also has thermo-genic properties. What this means is that it creates heat. So it can help to boost your metabolism. That’s why drinking lemon water first thing in the morning is often used to promote weight-loss.

Flavored Water Recipe #2 – Cinnamon Stix

Soak a couple of cinnamon sticks in your water over night.
