Lemons are acidic, but they’re also anionic. As our body processes the lemon water, it alkalizes within us. I find alkaline water easier to drink than normal water and the benefits are great.

When making a jug of lemon water, use one whole lemon and cut it up into eighths. Do not squeeze but place all the pieces in the jug. The best time to make this type of water is before bed, so it can sit overnight and be ready for you the next day. (you will notice tiny bubbles in the water) Decant into a bottle and put in the fridge or drink direct from your jug.

Your alkaline water also provides potassium and calcium which helps nourish our brains and strengthen our bones.
