Good-bye summer hello autumn

Sometimes we underestimate the lemon. There are so many uses for this amazing citrus fruit. You can find it anywhere in the world and certainly include it in your life.

Do I need to detox?

Well, you never know really, but after the summer when we have been out eating and having fun, our body, and especially our liver, could do with a cleanout. So how do you do that?

In the morning boil some water and add it to a cup with a slice of lemon and a slice of ginger. You can add more water and use it again later. Add the tip of a teaspoon of honey if you feel it is too bitter for you. This will warm your tummy and actually really help your liver detox. Don´t eat or drink anything for at least an hour.

You can do this every morning for 5 mornings, or always, if you feel good about it, it will certainly wake you up.
