5 Reasons to drink lemon ice water in the morning

1. Balance your pH levels. Metabolized lemon acids become alkaline.

"To put it most simply, alkalies help keep the oxygen in our blood at a safe pH level, and this helps our body heal itself, assimilate nutrients and fight off unwanted sickness."

-Nicole Bennet

2. Keeps your skin clear! Water helps keep you hydrated and the vitamin C from the lemon helps prevent wrinkles.

3. It helps with digestion, heartburn, and constipation.

4. It helps with weight loss. Keeping up the alkaline levels in the body can help lose weight, it also is high in fiber, and can help with keeping off water weight.

5. It helps control the coffee and soda habits. Drink it in replace of your coffee, and when you're really craving a soda add it to some sparkling water to get a little bit of fizz!
