3 Reasons Why We Like To Get Zesty! L♡VE Your Body with Lemons


Get zesty and Love Your Body with LEMONS!

All through The L♡VE Your Body Series we're going to be talking nutrition, A LOT!!  Today is lemons!!! As you know, starting your day with a glass of your metabolism boosting Meta D or Bombshell spell from the Tone It Up Nutrition Plan is an absolute must!  We like to add a little lemon juice to our Bombshell Spell to mix it up :) Here's why we love lemons...
Want to sustain that awesome morning boost? Sip a little lemon water throughout your day ~ particularly before meals ~ for a host of amazing benefits.

Here are the top 3 reasons to add a little squeeze of lemon to your water or tea:
1. Smooth, Glowing Skin! Lemons contain a high dose of antioxidants, Vitamin C and Citric Acid ~ this trio not only boosts your immune system, but also increases collagen production for plump, youthful skin. Vitamin C can also help clear up blemishes, and even help with scarring when applied topically!

2.  Helps with Weight Loss! A little lemon water before meals reduces hunger, helps with digestion and also contributes to detoxification by aiding liver function.

3. Gives you Energy & Helps you Concentrate! The scent of lemons has been said to increases alertness and boost your energy!
The best way to get your fix? Make a batch of Zesty Spa Water below to enjoy throughout the day, just squeeze half a lemon in a glass of water or add a little citrus love to your raw green and steamed veggies!
