Drink Lemon Water To Sleep Better
There are many people who would like to sleep better. To do this, we do not hesitate to resort to drugs or “a thousand and more” remedies with which to rediscover this precious well-being, such as drinking water and lemon.
In case you suffer from chronic insomnia, without a doubt the best advice is to consult a good specialist.
On the other hand, to improve the quality of your rest and prevent occasional insomnia associated, at times, with stress, bad habits or a poor diet, we recommend the following: drink water and lemon before going to sleep.
We know that in our space we have talked to you very often about the benefits of starting the day with a glass of warm water and lemon juice.
Drinking it on an empty stomach is very good for your health, however, and in case you want to get a deep and restorative rest, you have to do the opposite: drink a cup of water with lemon before going to bed.
Within a week, your body will start producing adequate changes which will help you sleep a little better. We explain how this almost “miraculous” remedy works.
Drinking lemon water helps you rest better
Perhaps many people are skeptical of this remedy. At the end of the day and just before going to sleep, we have the feeling that our stomach is a little more sensitive and that, therefore, it would not be ideal to take this acidic and stimulating liquid.
We want sweeter, more pleasant and relaxing things. However, and as much as it may surprise us, it will do our body a lot of good to drink lemon water.
Below we will explain the reasons in detail.
If your body is “intoxicated”, you will not be able to sleep well
We know that the expression “intoxicated organism” sounds disturbing. It is an expression of popular language, used to define a series of specific processes that occur in our body:
- The body renews many tissues almost every day. There are cells that die like, for example, red blood cells. In turn, waste substances are created which must be eliminated.
- The body often fails to metabolize most of the components that supplement the foods we eat (many of them are even harmful to our health).
- The ideal is to eliminate them as soon as possible, but doing so will depend on the adequate activity of organs such as the liver or kidneys.
- Likewise, we cannot forget that environmental pollution “penetrates” our body, and not just through the air or smoke. Many of the foods we eat contain pesticides, toxic substances that accumulate in the body and can make it sick.
All of these factors prevent us from getting adequate rest. The liver or lymphatic system is forced to work harder.
All of this will make us feel heavier, inflamed, annoyed and unable to reconcile a deep sleep. However, with this remedy we will avoid it.
Lemon juice accelerates the detoxification process
Drinking lemon water helps optimize liver function, cleanses the blood of harmful substances and takes care of the lymphatic system.
- The first day we will not notice immediate results, but within 6 or 7 days, the body will begin to perceive the benefits.
- Nor can we forget that lemon juice promotes digestion. The nutrients will be absorbed much better and we will go to bed without the typical “swelling”, without disturbances and more relaxed.
However, and since this has to be taken into account, you may have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. In fact, lemon is a good diuretic, so you may have to get up.
An ideal alkaline remedy to promote rest
This data is curious, but fantastic: despite the acid taste of lemon, once it reaches the body, it transforms into a powerful alkaline agent.
It helps us purify the blood, take care of the liver, increase the number of white blood cells and optimize the function of the pancreas.
Its action is very powerful and if we get used to taking this remedy every night, we will go to bed in the best conditions for sleeping.
It is worth trying it for a month.
