It is of vital importance that you ensure that you remain fully-hydrated during the hot summer months, as your body needs to maintain its around 70% water balance for good health.
Drinking Homemade Lemonade is not only fantastically refreshing but also very good for your health. This lemonade is anti-inflammatory, antiviral and also sugar-free. It will refresh you on a hot day and also boost your immune system in the winter. You can also use it to mix your drinks instead of using carbonated soda.
Health Benefits of Lemons include the fact that while lemons are acidic to taste, they are actually alkaline-forming in the body and help maintain healthy pH levels in your body. They are also packed with healthy nutrients like vitamin C, limonene, citric acid, magnesium, pectin, and calcium, all of which boost immunity and combat infections.
Lemons are also a great stimulant to the liver and a dissolvent of uric acid and other poisons; it also liquefies bile. Lemons create a healthy bowel movement and help with regularity.
Raw Homemade Lemonade Recipe

- 1 pinch cayenne pepper

The best way to ensure that the filtered water that you are using is both completely free of toxins and chilled, is to use water from a good water cooler such as those sold by London’s premier water cooler company, Living-Water.
Living Water supplies both bottled water coolers that dispense Living Water Spring Water as well as mains water coolers. Living-Water is a green, carbon-free company and a fully accredited member of the British Water Cooler Association (BWCA).
