Lemon water benefits

Dr Theesan advised lemon water as it is helpful for early morning detoxification. It is useful in increasing bile production, balances the pH levels in the body, and is packed with antioxidants. Moreover, it also helps control glucose levels as apple cider vinegar and cinnamon work together to stabilize blood sugar.

Over time, the benefits, as she added, include clearer skin, improved hair health, and even better moods.

The ingredients are great for health, providing a multitude of health benefits. Lemon is infused with vitamin C, while cinnamon has antioxidant properties which detoxify your body, and apple cider vinegar helps manage blood sugar levels. Together, these ingredients create a potent morning drink that supports overall health.

This nutrient-packed morning drink is rich in essential nutrients. The ingredients keep your energy levels sustained throughout the day.

    Adrija Dey’s proclivity for observation fuels her storytelling instinct. As a lifestyle journalist, she crafts compelling, relatable narratives across diverse touchpoints of the human experience, including wellness, mental health, relationships, interior design, home decor, food, travel, and fashion that gently nudge readers toward living a little better. For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun. Always up for a chat, she believes the best stories come from unfiltered yapping, where "too much information" is kind of the point. A graduate of Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi, and an alumna of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi, Adrija spends her idle hours cocooned with herbal tea and a gripping thriller, scribbling inner monologues she loosely calls poetic pieces, often with her succulents in attendance. On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family. Dancing by herself to her peppy playlists, however, is an everyday ritual she swears by religiously.Read More
