Step One : Detoxification

We are taking baby steps in this whole #fitfam thing today.
For now we have just one thing to add to our everyday routine and that is Warm water and Lemon/Lime.

In Nigeria, limes are easier to find than Lemon, so if you can't find lemon you can substitute it with Lime. Although Lemon has more health benefits in that they are higher in vitamin C which helps the liver to produce glucathione,  a regenrative antioxidant that helps the liver to eliminate toxins (detox) .

If you are trying to get pregnant I would personally advise you to avoid Lime juice entirely. Lemon on the other hand helps increase the flow of cervical fluids which is very important in conception. However , if you have passed the child bearing age or you are not ready to get pregnant anytime soon then go ahead and use Lime as a substitute for Lemon.  Men are also safe to take the Lime juice.

So every morning we are to take a cup of warm water and a slice of lemon/ lime to detoxify our bodies. Taking this every morning is also a way of curbing hunger and giving you energy to begin the day. It also enables fast digestion.

Here are some benefits of Lemon water

1. Boosts your immune system
2. Balances PH
3. Helps with Weight Loss ( goals)
4. Aids digestion
5. Is a diuretic
6. Clears skin
7. Freshens breath
8. Relieves respiratory problems
9. Keeps your zen
10. Helps kick coffee habit.

When going to the gym I also throw slices of lemon into my water bottle. But that's for much later. We are still in step one. (baby steps) 

So apart from detoxification you can also use lemon/lime juice for your skin. Just cut a slice of lemon or lime and rub it on your face before every bath to get rid of acne, hyperpigmentation and sunburn. WHAT A FRUIT!!!!!!!!!!
