You instantly feel good when you take a cup. It combines lemon juice, ginger, and mint leaves. Lemon Lemon water makes for a powerful detox drink. Lemons are high in vitamin C, which is a primary antioxidant that helps protect cells from damaging free radicals. It is well known as a useful treatment for kidney stones, reducing strokes, and lowering body temperature. Mint Mint adds a touch of sweetness without the sugar, and it also helps settle your stomach and aids in digestion. The aroma of the herb activates the salivary glands in your mouth as well as glands which secrete the digestive enzymes, thereby facilitating digestion. Ginger Ginger contains compounds that have demonstrated protective effects for the brain. One of them, known as 6-Shogaol, inhibited the release and expression of redness-causing chemicals known to cause damage to neurons in both in vitro and in vivo models. Ginger has repeatedly demonstrated powerful blood sugar balancing effects. It acts on insulin release and sensitivity and supports the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids.
