Now let's just say up front that this drink won’t make you lose weight all on it’s own, you still have to eat well, but it helps a great deal with getting things moving – and in just a moment we are going to discover why.

So what is this magical drink?
Great question. It's so incredibly simple, so here's the recipe.

Morning Drink Recipe

Place the juice of half a lemon and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a mug. Fill the mug with warm filtered water and drink it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach – just like you'd have a cup of tea or coffee in the morning.
Well, instead you're going to have this lemon and apple cider drink. Then wait at least 15 minutes before you have any other food or drink.
It's a bit bitter and tangy, so it can take a bit of getting used to, but it's well worth it for the benefits it provides.
So let's go over those benefits now so I can explain how these 2 simple ingredients can help.

Lemon & Apple Cider Vinegar

Lemon contains flavonoids and polyphenols that provide powerful antioxidant capacity, it has antiviral, anti bacterial and immune boosting properties to promote wellness on many levels.
It's also loaded with vitamin C, magnesium, calcium and other vitamins and minerals, and is an incredibly neutralizing and cleansing fruit for the body.

Apple cider vinegar has long been used as a natural remedy for many things. It has natural anti bacterial and anti viral properties. It also contains many minerals, has alkaline properties, can aid with blood sugar regulation, help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, promote healthy gut bacteria, and boost overall immune function.
These really are 2 simple ingredients that have long been used as traditional remedies for many ailments and it's probably because they do in fact have lots of amazing health benefits!
Let's look at a few of them.

Health Benefits of Lemon & Apple Cider Vinegar For Metabolism, Weight Loss & Wellness

Aid Digestion

If you're in the process of losing weight or improving your health, chances are you've come into it with a body that is way out of balance – a metabolism that isn't functioning quite right and needs a bit of a boost.
The digestive system is the place where our metabolism starts – from the mouth down. Your digestive system is key in helping you effectively metabolize your food, extract nutrients, and eliminate toxins. The digestive system can become inhibited by the consumption of highly processed foods and eating an unhealthy diet.
This little magic drink greatly helps with the stimulation of digestive enzymes throughout your gut – starting in the mouth by stimulating salivary juices.
There are thousands of these enzymes working hard to digest your food effectively so giving them a helping hand is a very beneficial thing. It also helps to assist with better elimination by stimulating the bowel. So if you suffer from constipation it can be a great help in that region too.

Boost Immune Function

Raw apple cider vinegar is a tonic for your overall immune system, it's loaded with those enzymes we just mentioned, and also beneficial bacteria. More and more research is revealing the importance of having a good balance of healthy gut bacteria.
And did you know that more than 70% of our immune function starts in the gut with these bacteria?
Think about it. Our digestive system is the first contact our body has with the outside world. So these gut bacteria are responsible to sort out what comes through and what doesn't. When our gut bacteria get out of balance we can have more ‘bad guys' letting things through that they shouldn't, we can get increased inflammation, and our immune function can become impaired.
Being a fermented food source, apple cider vinegar is considered a prebiotic food that helps promote healthy gut bacteria and therefore promotes better immune function.
Apple cider vinegar also promotes stomach acid production, so it's a great remedy for heart burn or reflux. I guess you could say it helps wake things up and this can only be a good thing.

Reduce Blood Glucose and Insulin

One of the reasons this drink may be so helpful is that it helps reduce blood glucose levels. This is well documented in science and we've written about vinegar in more detail in a previous article.
Quite amazingly, “before the production and marketing of hypoglycemic agents, vinegar “teas” were commonly consumed by diabetics to help manage their chronic aliment”.
If we can keep blood glucose regulated we have less insulin production. Insulin is the fat storage hormone and it's job is to push excess glucose out of the bloodstream, and where does it end up? Stored as fat.
So regardless of whether we're diabetic or not, by reducing blood glucose and insulin we naturally have less fat storage – it's simple biochemistry.

Cleanse & Detoxify the Liver

The liver is an amazing organ and is responsible for processing all the nutrients we eat and then shipping them out to the various parts of our body. It's basically a filter for all our bad habits, helping to process the toxins we constantly bombard our bodies with.
The liver is highly important in diabetes as many people get a fatty liver. And because the liver is so intricately involved with nutrient metabolism, anything that helps it function better is going to help you.
This lemon drink helps to cleanse toxins out of the liver and also stimulates liver function, promoting more effective and efficient processing of nutrients, including increasing fat metabolism.

Boost Metabolism and Weight Loss

Metabolic function basically includes all the stuff that goes on in our bodies, the stuff we don't see that helps regulate things like weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
Lots of studies suggest that the flavonoids in lemon and citrus help with “regulating the fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism and affecting the gene expression of glucose-regulating enzymes”.
Another study showed that lemon flavonoids help reduce cholesterol and fat in the liver. And yet another study in mice showed that lemon polyphenols reduces weight gain and fat accumulation.
And though there is no research to back it, I've also found that one additional benefit is that it helps to decrease sugar cravings and regulate appetite, my clients have also found this to be true as well.
Overall the benefit is that when you kick start the day on a good foot like this, it often means the rest of the day is going to be great too!

Reduce Oxidative stress

This may not be directed related to weight loss or metabolism, but it's definitely a great health benefit worth mentioning.
Oxidative stress causes changes and damage to certain cells in the body and can lead to the development of diabetic complications.
A study done on rats showed that 2 antioxidant flavonoids in lemon – eriocitrin and hesperidin – reduce oxidative stress.

Improves Skin

Another benefit that isn't proven by science but has surprised me with the comments is that this drink helps improve the skin.
It makes sense. Healthy skin starts from the inside out, so cleansing the liver and getting things functioning better is naturally going to have a positive effect on your overall glow. 😉

After some period of time in our relationship we can feel that our partner in not acting as usual. It feels like he doesn’t love us anymore. If he often changes his mood we cannot make decisions immediately, but if this mood lasts more than a week or two, we suppose to ask ourselves: does he really love me?
In addition to this text we are going to present you a couple of signs that may show you that your partner has fallen out of love with you.



1.Lack of indication of love

If he has stopped showing you his love. If he has lost interest in you. If he doesn’t say that he loves you, he isn’t asking about your day, he didn’t notice your new hair, or your new dress. All of these indicate that he doesn’t love you anymore.

2. Absent
If he is preoccupied when you are speaking, when you are giving suggestions, and he is looking like he doesn’t care, it is time for you to think again whether your relationship is healthy as it was on the beginning. When you are the one who is taking care of everything and think about all the things like anniversary, birthday and so on, and give your best to make it all right, but he doesn’t care, then he has definitely lost interest in you. Because when someone loves you he will do everything for you, and he will always have time to listen to you.


3. Run out of things to talk about
During the beginning of a relationship we all have a theme to talk about. Introducing each other, speaking about our knowledge in different spheres, what we love and what we don’t love. But when you are together long period of time and you have passed all of these things, you will get bored sometimes. Unless this period is short, like day or two, and you run out of themes to talk about, because nothing interesting has happened to you, it may be concerning. He may doesn’t want to talk to you anymore. This may be the end of your relationship.

4. Guilt
Guilt is a feeling that we all have sometimes. But, if these days, two of you argue for every little thing, and for each of them he makes you guilty, it is time for you to leave him.


5. He is not your back up anymore
The special place that you had in his heart now is gone, and he is not your back up anymore. He used to support you in everything, and now he is just blaming you for everything.

6. Presence 0%
He used to make excuses at work just to come home and be with you. Now he is just inventing excuses to leave the house and not to be with you. He may be seeing with someone else, and you should check that.



7. You are not present in their plan
You supposed go on a dinner tomorrow night, but he is speaking with his friends and making plans for the same night? You are not in his plans for near or far future? He is planning vacation without you? You suppose to think about his behavior and why is he making that kind of plan.

8. Disrespect
When you turn back time, his behavior was so different. He called you honey, sweetheart, baby, love. Now, he doesn’t even call your name. When you are looking at your relationship from your point of view look how You see it, how You feel. Are You happy? Do you think that he loves you? Do you think that he respects you? Respect is the key term in every relationship, just bear that on mind.

9. Without clarification
When he makes a decision without asking you. Taking in consideration the fact that he knows you are not supporting him, but doesn’t bother with that, you suppose to leave him, immediately. You are living as a couple, as a family, we should all respect each other, especially our opinions.

10. Humiliating yourself

When someone treats you like you are a piece of paper, doesn’t appreciate you, offends you, and you have weak character, you will start to think that you are not worthy. Stop thinking like that! You are worthy! You should be appreciated! You deserve to be LOVED! Leave the one who doesn’t treat you nice and find yourself the one who will treat you like that!
