My morning ritual starts with a glass of slightly warm lemon water on an empty stomach. I pour 200ml of water into the glass, squeeze out half a lemon into the glass. I add about 100 ml of hot water. I have it now as a ritual and I feel amazing after it. I would like to share with you all the benefits of drinking a glass of water with lemon in the morning.
