I drink warm lemon water almost every morning while I wait for my coffee.  Who knew I was totally en pointe with an Ayurvedic practice?!

Courtesy of Yoga Journal.  “The Ayurvedic philosophy believes the first item you ingest sets the mood for the remainder of the day. With that thought in mind, drink a glass of lukewarm water flavored with a fresh slice of lemon or lime. Here, the Ayurvedic reasoning is twofold. The warm water serves to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and peristalsis—the waves of muscle contractions within the intestinal walls that keep things moving. Secondly, lemons and limes are high in minerals and vitamins and help loosen ama, or toxins, in the digestive tract.”

Now go run!

Keli 🙂
