Water

Water is a macronutrient that is essential in human health and healing.

It is the most abundant molecule in the body.  In adults, water constitutes approximately 50-70% of body weight.  The actual amount depends on many factors including age, sex and body composition.  For example, muscle has more water than fat.  Hence, physically fit individuals with a higher percentage of lean muscle and a lower percentage of fat tend to have more water than sedentary individuals.

Water plays a critical role in the major systems of the body including the nervous, digestive/excretory, cardiovascular/circulatory, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, renal/urinary, endocrine, reproductive, integumentary/exocrine and muscular/skeletal systems.

Lemons

Lemons are considered by many to be a powerfood due to their many known health and healing benefits.

Lemons are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients (phytochemicals) such as vitamin C, folate (vitamin B9), potassium and magnesium.

Consumption of various parts of the lemon (juice, peel, extracts) has been studied and linked to certain beneficial effects including those relating to cardiovascular, immune, digestive and renal (kidney) health, insulin resistance, detoxification, overweight, obesity and body fat - e.g., weight loss.

Lemon Water

The curative effects of water combined with the potentially therapeutic actions of the lemon are thought to provide numerous health benefits.

Many holistic health care practitioners recommend drinking lemon water first thing in the morning to restore fluids and nutrients to dehydrated tissues and help flush out toxins and waste products that have built up during sleep.

Effects of Chronic Dehydration on Health & Body Weight

In his book, Water: For Health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty!,  Dr. F. Batmanghelidj explains why and how persistent dehydration leads to various chronic diseases, illnesses and ailments (including overweight and obesity) and cites 46 vital reasons why our bodies need adequate amounts of water every day.

Much of what Dr. Batmanghelidj so thoroughly explains in his book is reflected and summarized in this fantastic infographic entitled "Why Dehydration is Making You Fat and Sick".

It is thought that chronic dehydration is linked to fatigue, high blood pressure, asthma, allergies, high cholesterol, digestive disorders, bladder and kidney problems, constipation, joint pain or stiffness, premature aging, excessive weight gain and obesity.

Research suggests that drinking plenty of clean, fresh water (while forgoing sodas, commercially prepared fruit juices and caffeinated beverages) helps to relieve pain and aids in the healing various illness and diseases.

General good health is essential to maintaining a healthy weight.  Drinking enough water is further thought to have a direct impact on preventing weight gain and promoting weight loss.

Many health experts now advise drinking about 8 ounces of water immediately upon waking and again right before sleeping, about 16 ounces of water before and after each meal and throughout any exercise or physical activity session.

Some health professionals advocate drinking lemon water first thing in the morning as being one of the best ways to detox the liver, kidneys and other organs. Lemon water is thought to cleanse and purify the blood, eliminating poisonous bile from the body and flushing out other toxins that have accumulated during sleep.

It should be noted that each individual's daily water requirement is different and depends of various factors, including weight, activity level, diet, medication and climate.  For more information about your body's water requirements, see this Daily Water Chart.
