Wow! Good For You!

Yesterday, I mentioned to a friend that I drank a cup of warm lemon water every morning, and she became very excited, sharing with me that the Lord had impressed upon her to drink warm water with lemon in it each morning.  She didn’t know why, but she and her husband were drinking it.  I was delighted to share the benefits of the drink, along with the caution to keep the water warm.

Each morning, upon arising, I immediately heat a cup of distilled water.  I use a class container to heat it.  I’m trying to eliminate metal cookware from my kitchen because of the metals we absorbe into our systems from them (Both my husband and I have been tested for heavy metals and are currently undergoing chelation therapy to remove them.)  You want the water to be WARM, not hot and not cold.  An extreme temperature will cause your body to expend energy to process them.  I let the water heat until the first sign of steam arises, then I pour it into my cup that holds the juice of 1/2 lemon and a tad of stevia.  I usually pour the cup to half full, then pour some of the water over the glass juicer to get the juice left there, then pour that into the cup.  By now, the water is usually a good lukewarm.  I drink this while I have my morning quiet time.  When I travel, I take lemons and a juicer with me. 

When I have about 2 good sips left, I drop 4 drops of Oil of Oregano under my tongue and hold it there as long as I can.  Then I swallow and drink the last of the lemon water.  The lemon helps get the taste out of my mouth.  I don’t do the flu shots, so I’m trying to do the oil of oregano 2-3 times/day.

In my MORNING ROUTINE, I next do 20 minutes on the treadmill:  Lap 1, slow with small weights (trying to keep away the flabby arms); Lap 2, brisk walk; Lap 3, jog last half, working up to full lap of jogging; Lap 4, brisk walk first half, cool down last half.  That takes 20 minutes and I can fit that into my busy morning routine.  NEXT, I drink Barley Max.

WATER:  The first link below talks about water at the end.  We have the reverse osmosis system it shows at the studio where I work, so I bring it home in jugs – until I get a system installed here at home.  It is the BEST water.  If you live in the Jackson, MS, area and want info on having one installed, call or email me and I’ll give you the company’s info.
