Rebalance your body after the weekend with this hydrating and liver-stimulating elixir inspired by Katie Wells of Wellness Mama.
LEMONS ARE AN ALKALIZING POWERFOOD. THE COMBO OF TURMERIC AND LEMON HELP TO SOOTHE THE EFFECTS OF INFLAMMATION IN THE BODY.
Even though lemons taste acidic, they have powerful alkalizing properties in the body – meaning that they help to balance any extra acidity caused by stress and inflammation. They also help to stimulate and support the liver, so that it can effectively act as one of the body’s most important filtration and detoxification organs.
It tastes…
A little bit like a lemony version of orange juice, refreshing, delicious, slightly peppery and thirst quenching.
