According to ayurvedic philosophy, choices that you make regarding your daily routine either build up resistance to disease or tear it down. Ayurveda invites us to get a jump-start on the day by focusing on morning rituals that work to align the body with nature’s rhythms, balance the doshas, and foster self-esteem alongside self-discipline. But if you can make time for one ritual that may improve your health, consider a mug of warm water with the juice of half a lemon. It’s so simple, and yet the potential benefits are just too good to ignore. Here are all of the ways warm water with lemon could improve your morning: If you choose to steep the entire lemon, try to buy organic or thoroughly wash the lemon peels with soap and water. This will help to remove any pesticides that may be present on the fruit.
