SPICY LEMON WATER
Start your morning with a spicy kick-in-the-mouth, pick-me-up, stimulating your appetite and decreasing morning mucous enhanced water! Whew! That was a mouthful, but this can be a great way to start your day. We all know that having a glass of warm water right when you wake up helps reinvigorate your body because hey, you’ve been hopefully sleeping for the last 7-8 hours and your body is dehydrated! So instead of grabbing your cup of joe, try this first, then your coffee! You’ll instantly start replenishing your shriveled cells so they are plump and full ready to tackle the day, including those ones in your head, so maybe you can flirt with your crush in the AM. The added lemon juice helps cleanse the body by pulling out mucous that your body built up all night (especially if you have any dust in your house or suffer from allergies…hmmm). The cayenne pepper will stimulate your appetite and for at least the first 7 days, it will boost your metabolism if you don’t have spice in your diet…the added heat isn’t long lasting to allow you to eat that extra muffin or donut that is staring at you and causing a little drool, but for a little boost, it’s a nice option. The maple syrup is a subtle sweet glance your way, and really helpful for anyone who just needs some sweetness, try to grab an organic local one. Happy morning cutie! You’re bound for greatness and I can’t wait to see how your day progresses!
