This trick has been helping my metabolism every morning, and it tastes so good!
After a night of sleep (or not enough sleeping) drinking something hydrating in the morning is needed to reviving your body. Drinking the right type of liquids is a major thing to do before eating anything else because you are breaking your fast after hours of not eating, which means you are “restarting the machine” also known as my metabolism. One of the ways to do this that I have found useful, easy and delicious is drinking a lemon tea with ginger root infusion every morning before breakfast as a way to make my day start with a balanced blend between feeling soothed and energetic.

Lemon tea and ginger morning drink recipe

Instructions:
- In a teapot boil the water with the ginger root for 5 minutes. Do not microwave.

Ready to #beyourbestblend? Here is why I love this recipe: Lemon tea comes with loads of health benefits that range from boosting your immune system to improve your mood, such as the following:
- Cleanser and detoxifier. One of the healthy benefits of lemon tea is that it serves as a cleanser, it cleans your body and removes toxins from your system and it also helps to prevent diseases and infections.
- Boosts your immune system. The cheapest way to boost your immune system is by drinking warm lemon tea every morning. It provides your body with nutrients that will prepare you for your daily activities. The tea is also packed with anti-inflammatory properties that help fight infections and help asthmatic patients or someone suffering from allergies or respiratory problems.
- Cardiovascular fitness. Research has shown that lemon tea can provide protection against cardiovascular diseases and it contains flavonoids that prevent the formation of blood clots in arteries. Drinking it daily can help fight against heart diseases and help balance your PH levels helping your metabolism.
- Helps in digestion. After eating you will need something to help with a smooth digestion and taking lemon tea facilitates healthy digestion. This is because it cleanses off toxins and waste products and let your body absorb more beneficial substances. Vitamin C helps also prevent scurvy.
- Healthier skin. Lemon tea’s vitamin C is also great for the skin, which properties help reduce acne and other skin disorders.
- Boost your mood. It has been studied that the smell of lemon can make you feel better. To enhance your mood just sniff the lemon tea fragrance and your mood will be boosted.
- Weight loss. Lemon tea also helps to boost your metabolism and balances your ph levels. This is one of the first steps to securing a weight loss when combined with physical activity and a healthy diet. Taking lemon tea in the morning won’t only help you to be healthy but also help you to shed some pounds.
- Better breath. Drinking lemon tea in the morning can as well help freshen your breath, as it removes unpleasant odors.
