Hot water with lemon in the morning

[sudu]

Does drinking a glass of hot water with lemon juice first thing in the morning actually do anything? If so, what? The ones I have heard are that it cleanses the digestive system and helps to clear spots.Is this true?

Thanks!!!

its supposed to flush out toxins in your system, personally i never bother, i just drink 2 litres a day and my skin is clearer and i feel much better for it.

my mom has drunk a glass of hot water every morning from when she was young and she has the softest clearest skin ever, she also drinks the water that the cabbage has been boiled in (YUK)

Been doing it for years... check here for one in depth reference... Works only with fresh lemons however, not bottled juice, which has been sterilized...

I did drink hot water with lemon when I was a spotty teenager and I think it helped, but it was probably just the effects of the water, or maybe a kind of psychosomatic benefit. I've heard about the benefits of drinking the cabbage water before, but could never bring myself to do it personally.

The lemon is supposed to break the fat down in your body. Also Cabbage Water is lovely ....... plenty of iron in it. Now drink up lol.

Totally pointless. Just drink tap water (or the cabbage water) lol.
