Questions and answers about lemon water 

Yes, you can also use lime ins­tead of lemon water. 

Both are pos­si­ble. If you drink lemon water first, wait 15–30 minu­tes befo­re drin­king the cele­ry juice. If you do it the other way around, wait 15–30 minu­tes after cele­ry juice befo­re drin­king lemon water.

The first sip in the mor­ning is par­ti­cu­lar­ly effec­ti­ve for cle­an­sing the liver. This has accu­mu­la­ted toxins while slee­ping and wants to eli­mi­na­te them from the body. After waking up, it is the­r­e­fo­re ide­al to hydra­te and flush out the­se toxins with acti­va­ted living lemon water.

Yes, that is also very good. It’s best to try to incor­po­ra­te lemon water into your dai­ly rou­ti­ne. You can drink it once a day, twice a day, three times a day, or more.

That depends on what else you drink or eat. Many peo­p­le today are chro­ni­cal­ly dehy­dra­ted. You should drink two liters of lemon water every day. In addi­ti­on, other hydrating drinks such as cele­ry and cucum­ber juice as well as lots of fresh fruit, leafy greens and vege­ta­bles. Every per­son is dif­fe­rent when it comes to hydra­ti­on. For exam­p­le, if you exer­cise a lot or suf­fer from chro­nic ill­nesses or sym­ptoms, you may want to drink more lemon water and eat more fresh fruit each day. The liver reli­ef mor­ning from the book Heal your liver is a good way to adjust to ade­qua­te hydration.

No, just the living water of one fresh­ly squeezed lemon con­ta­ins the life-giving nut­ri­ents that cle­an­se and rege­ne­ra­te your body and keep you ade­qua­te­ly hydrated.

It would be best to drink the lemon water imme­dia­te­ly after making it. Howe­ver, if the­re is no other opti­on, you can store it in a tight­ly clo­sed jar in the ref­ri­ge­ra­tor. Then drink the lemon water after 24 hours at the latest.

Yes, for an extra boost you can add a teas­poon of lemon water raw honey and fresh­ly gra­ted Gin­ger add. Your liver will absorb the raw honey to rep­le­nish its glu­co­se reser­ves and at the same time it will eli­mi­na­te deep toxins.
It is important that you purcha­se raw honey rather than hea­ted honey to retain all of the heal­ing pro­per­ties of this food.

No, apple cider vin­egar is stressful for the liver and is very aci­dic. The liver cells are dis­tur­bed in their balan­ce and find it dif­fi­cult to per­form as they fight for oxy­gen, which the vin­egar remo­ves from the blood­stream and the liver. Apple cider vin­egar (like any other vin­egar) is extre­me­ly aci­dic in the sto­mach. The liver must imme­dia­te­ly turn against the vin­egar and use all its reser­ves to try to alka­li­ze or at least neu­tra­li­ze it. The aci­dic natu­re of apple cider vin­egar is so strong that the sto­mach loses the batt­le for neu­tra­li­ty. Ins­tead of alka­li­zing your gut, vin­egar does the oppo­si­te. Vin­egar wea­k­ens the hydro­chlo­ric acid and breaks down the gas­tric juices, so the sto­mach is still aci­dic. For more infor­ma­ti­on about the effects of apple cider vin­egar on the liver, see the book Heal your liver.

Fresh­ly squeezed lemon juice is best.

It is best if you fresh­ly squeeze the lemon juice yours­elf, as lemon juice oxi­dizes very quick­ly once it is squeezed. After bot­t­ling, it no lon­ger con­ta­ins the vital nut­ri­ents. Unfort­u­na­te­ly, most store-bought bot­t­led lemon juices also con­tain preservatives.
