Ayurveda calls for starting the day right by focusing on morning rituals that work to align the body with nature's rhythms and help build up resistance to diseases. The simplest of ingredients found at home, lemon, honey, and water can have important positive effects on your health and well-being. This age-old Ayurvedic tradition of drinking hot lemon and honey water early in the morning has become a favorite ritual for health-conscious individuals. Here is why:

 

It Rehydrates the Body

As you wake up in the morning, your body has gone through a long stretch of hours without drinking water. Drinking a glass of water, especially warm water first thing in the morning rehydrates your system. 

 

 

 

Helps Flush Out Toxins

Drinking warm water with lemon and honey in the morning is an Ayurvedic practice that helps clear the digestive tract of toxins that have built up overnight.

Drinking lemon water in the morning allows you to flush out the toxins that have built up overnight.
