We’ve all heard about the benefits of lemon water with cayenne pepper. Talk about a real lure for the natural remedy! Even the bombshell mega mogul entertainer, Beyonce has used the warm citrusy method for cleansing!
While I prefer cleanses, I stay away from radical cleanses and steer towards natural food cleanses. So, word up… I want detoxification through foods that naturally detox and cleanse the body. I’m talking the bomb (no pun intended) way to stay healthier and happier over the long run. ;D
The folks at my local Whole Foods say some folks cannot live without this natural remedy every morning. So, drinking a warm glass of fresh squeezed lemon juice with organic cayenne pepper water is a practice that they do every morning to help stimulate the body’s detoxification processes. So, I figured I might try this lemon pepper concoction.
This morning right after waking up, I shuffled downstairs to heat a cup of filtered water. I juiced half a lemon into a glass citrus reamer then I top off with a whooping ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper. OPPS!! Then, I realized that this amount might not be just quite right so I emptied about ¾ of cup and started the process over again. This time, it was non-irradiated pepper perfection! So, I finished this detox drink with spicy pepper pleasure. And, I waited 15 minutes before I ate my breakfast!
Why are people drinking this spicy pepper pleasure drink? Seriously, lemon juice and cayenne pepper have a lot of anti-fungal, immune boosting and detoxifying properties.
