Detoxifying With Lemons!

West Haven, Connecticut
October 15, 2015 8:03am CST
Recently I stopped drinking soft drinks like coca cola, sprite, 7up and began making lemonade more oftent to replace the soda cravings and its been going good. About a month ago I began getting back pains and my wife suggested that it could be kidney stones developing so I immediately stopped drinking soda and began consuming fresh lemonade everyday. The back pain went away and I actually lost like 4 pounds of stomache fat. Im going to keep drinking lemon water and lemonade to clean out my body and stay healthy!

Lemon water with ginger slices in them is even better detox and helps in losing weight.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX Yep, But I am not so sure if it does.. I feel much lighter and better after my lemon and ginger flavored water. I have been on this for a few months now.

@enlightenedpsych2 Caramel is now used to add flavor and color to so many products, it is insane.

@enlightenedpsych2 I know this is even worse. We do not have many natural products in our days.

Lemon is good for cleansing. But you can still drink fizzy water with lemon in it. I have a soda stream machine that carbonates the water and I can make my own fizzy drinks.

Lemons are known to burn fat. They are also very acidic. One cannot have too much lemon in one day. And it is a great detox as well. The best lemonade is fresh lemonade.

@lookatdesktop Exactly. I keep saying I am going to do that with the lemon water, but I have not yet got around to it.

I heard about people drinking though a straw to keep the teeth enamel in from constant rinses of cola and like colas, lemon is citric acid. A little dab will do ya.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX Agreed. Sugar is really the cause of putting on weight. Not fats, as most people think

That is good. It is proven that soda's can cause a person to gain weight. And, something else people don't realize is that Diet Soda's can keep a person from losing weight.

Those carbonated drinks are really bad for stomach lining. Later on in life problems like GERD start coming. I used to drink but when I read about them, I told me never. Now it is not even once in three years!

I would be careful not to drink too much lemonade and lemon water. The citric acid in the lemon can cause tooth decay!!

Good choice @BACONSTRIPSXXX . I don't even remember the last time (year) I had a soda. Diet sodas are a joke too. You definitely don't want to have to pass a kidney stone.
