Not sure I want to give up my coffee, but I may add a cup of lemon water.
Clean water and fresh squeezed lemon is one of the most well tested
energy boosters around. Most people in America rely on caffeinated
beverages like coffee to get aroused in the morning. These adrenal
stimulants produce dirty energy in the form of blood sugar swings and
oxidative stress. Water with lemon produces clean energy by hydrating
and oxygenating the body to extraordinary energy and mental clarity.
After
sleeping through the night the bodily tissues are dehydrated and need
clean, pure water to filter out toxins and improve energy production in
the cells. Most individuals turn to stimulants like coffee in the
morning to give them a jump start. Unfortunately, coffee is a diuretic
that depletes your body of water reserves and essential minerals and
electrolytes like sodium, potassium, calcium & magnesium.
People
feel energized by coffee due to the effects of caffeine on the adrenal
glands. Coffee stimulates these organs to pump out instant energy
hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine. These hormones stimulate the
body to breakdown stored sugar and release it into the bloodstream. This
process causes abnormal blood sugar that increases oxidative stress,
free radical formation and overall tissue damage.
This is called
dirty energy because it produces a rampant amount of damage to the body
in order to activate energy formation. Clean energy produces cellular
energy without an excessive load of oxidative stress.
Food as Bioelectrical Energy
The
food and beverages we eat provide electrically charged molecules that
initiate energy production in our body. An ion is part of a molecule
that carries an electrical charge. Positively charged ions are called
"cations," while negatively charged ions are called "anions."
Most
of the food we put into our bodies comes in a cationic form, while our
natural digestive processes (hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes,
saliva) are anionic. Lemon is one of the only anionic foods on the
planet. This means that it carries a very strong negative charge and is
extremely electrically active.
Fresh lemon helps oxygenate the
body and maximizes enzyme function. Lemon is known to stimulate the
liver's natural enzymes. This assists the liver in the process of
dumping toxins like uric acid and of liquefying congested bile ducts.
Citric Acid Cleanses the System
Citric
acid can also play a very important role in chelating out abnormal
calcium stones. It has a unique ability to form soluble complexes with
calcium that many have used to eliminate pancreatic stones and kidney
stones. This mechanism can also help prevent calcium deposits from
building up in the arteries that promote cardiovascular disease.
Clean
water with lemon provides the body with hydration, anti-oxidants and
electrolytes. Lemon is a rich source of the immune boosting vitamin C.
It also has good quantities of electrolytes such as potassium, calcium
and magnesium. Lemon is a tremendous source of citrus bioflavonoid
anti-oxidant phytonutrients that have been given the label Vitamin P.
Vitamin
P consists of the flavonoid glycosides hesperetin and naringenin among
others. Studies have shown that vitamin P enhances the anti-oxidant
capability of vitamin C. These bioflavonoids also improve capillary
permeability and overall blood flow. This is especially important for
oxygenating tissues and maintaining normal blood pressure. These
anti-oxidants have also been shown to reduce swelling, venous backup and
edema.
Upon rising take 1 full lemon and squeeze it into 16-32
oz of fresh clean water and drink. Be sure to eat out the membranous
parts of the lemon where the majority of the pectin fiber and citrus
bioflavonoids are located. Stevia can be added to form sugar-free
lemonade. Apple cider vinegar and various herbs can be used to boost
enzymatic and anti-oxidant potential.
