Benefits of drinking lime water in the morning

How do you start your morning?

I bet I can guess you’re straight to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. No judgements here I go to sleep looking forward to my cup of warm, delicious caffeine in the morning.

Even though I enjoy waking up to a cup of coffee I know there are better ways to start your day.

A few months ago I saw a post on Insta (@thenaturalist.way) suggesting we drink warm lime water in the morning instead reaching for a cup of coffee.

I decided to switch up my morning routine and start my day with a warm cup of lime juice water. I still have a coffee but I drink it after and try to delay it for as long as possible.

I noticed the benefits straight away and I now have lime juice every single morning.
