Lemon water is full of alkaline producing goodness. If you have some lemon water before your meal it will alkalize your entire meal. An additional plus, this water will hydrate & fill you up so you don’t eat as much. Try it after a workout for total refreshing and much needed hydration. You can also fill your water bottle up with lemon drops and sip as you work out!
