Benefits of Lemons – The Super Fruit

When most people wake up in the morning, it’s a mad rush, getting ready for work, getting the kids ready for school, breakfast, organizing school lunches, making sure they have brushed their teeth etc.

Well, even when they are old enough to do things for themselves, it’s still a mad rush one way or the other. Of course, that’s just life, but do you often wonder why you feel so frazzled mid-morning?

In the ideal world, it would be lovely to wake up and relax while you notice the birds singing and the beauty of nature.

But I fear this is far from what most people even think about because who has the time!

It would be a good idea to make sure that you make time for yourself, even if it means getting up a little earlier and starting your morning ritual with warm water and Lemon.
