Getting Back to Basics


Generally the first thing in I consume in the morning and the last thing I consume before bed, is a mug of hot water with a wedge of lemon, a slice of raw ginger, and a fresh sprig of mint.  It's a subtle flavor but very relaxing.  The aroma is organic, if an aroma can be described that way, and the pairing tastes fresh and natural and good for me.  It's a great way to ease my digestive system into the day and a good way to round out its daily working process.  Both mint and ginger are natural digestive aides and lemon, with it's alkaline properties, is good for overall wellness.  You can also try just a mug of hot water with lemon and incorporate the other ingredients when and if you have them.  I personally can never keep enough mint, ginger, and lemon in the house, they have become among my staple purchases.  I also use lemon in my water throughout the day when I can and I always request it at restaurants.  It's amazing how such a little thing can be so good for you and make such a difference in your health and energy.  See what I found:
