Beauties I’m pretty sure that most of you have heard about the benefits of drinking lemon infused water. I know that some of you are big advocates of starting your day with a mug of hot water and lemon, which is known for its ability to cleanse and detox, but there’s more to the humble lemon than that….here goes:

1- Yes, lemons are high in Vitamin C which is  great at helping to produce collagen, which we all want as much of as we can get, as it holds our skin together.

2- Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the body from damaging free radicals.

3- Apparently the citric acid found in lemons is good at helping to keep our kidneys healthy as it can help to prevent kidney stones.

4- Lemon water is apparently good for helping with digestion.

5- Hydration levels are increased because it’s easier for some of us to drink flavoured water than plain water…works well for me as it means I won’t get dehydrated.

So beauties there you have it! If you know of any other benefits please do let us know.
