I've heard a lot of people hate on my hot water and lemon in the morning/evenings and I'm here to tell you why I love it. Starting the day with a warm cup of water and lemon is so refreshing and easy to make. There are so many benefits to drinking hot water with lemon. 

1. Boosts Hydration : drinking warm water and lemon in the morning helps increases hydration after your body had a full night's sleep. It kickstarts the metabolism to prepare for the rest of the day. 

2. Promotes Clear Skin : ever since drinking hot water and lemon, I have noticed changes in my skin. Lemons are high in antioxidants which can help support healthy skin. A mix of hot water and lemon reduces inflammation, blemishes, and increases the collagen production in the skin. 

3. Rich in Vitamin C : lemon is high in Vitamin C which helps boost immune health and maintain healthy skin

4. Supports Digestive System : warm water with lemon stimulates the digestive system and decreases symptoms like bloating

5. Reduces Inflammation : warm lemon water has anti-inflammatory properties that reduces inflammation in the body caused by all kinds of factors. 


Incorporating hot water with lemon whether it be during the morning or evening, can offer some great health advantages. It definitely takes a couple times to get used to it. Give it a try next time and let me know what you think !!

    Starting my day with drinking water is something I try to do every day, I feel like it makes me feel more awake and alert in the morning. I've never tried drinking warm water with lemon, but after hearing the benefits of it especially with supporting the digestive system and skin health, I would definitely like to try adding this to my morning routine!

Do you struggle with pre and post exercise nutrition?

What should i eat before and after a workout? First things first…carbohydrates, proteins and fats are important for the body before  and after exercise. Exercising muscle preferentially uses carbohydrates from stored glycogen, but fats are also an important fuel source for energy production during exercise. Fats and carbohydrates are the two major fuel sources during exercise. Fats must be translocated and broken down from their storage form before they are used. Typically there is enough carbohydrate stored as muscle glycogen for exercise but as muscle glycogen stores decline, the skeletal muscle will then use some amino acids (basic components of all protein). More specifically, the amino acid leucine is used for energy.              It is important to consume an adequate amount of carbohydrates exercise to delay fatigue and minimize gastrointestinal distress. It is also important to consume enough fluids to prev...

Child Malnutrition

New approach to childhood malnutrition may reduce relapses, deaths http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150211124024.htm               Moderate acute malnutrition is experienced by 35 million children worldwide. A new study led by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has suggested that feeding children until they have met target measures of arm circumference and weight may be more important than a set 12 week feeding time. However, researchers have found that the current targets, set by the World Health Organization (WHO) may not be sufficient and raising these targets slightly could significantly reduce the risk of relapse in malnourished children; a condition that has a 37% relapse rate. The study took place in rural Malawi and was comprised of 2,349 moderately malnourished children aged 6 months to 5 years old. Children were evaluated 12 months after treatment; 1,967 rec...
