3 Facts about Water

3L water a day is good for you
Drink 3L of water each day
  1. Tap water and mineral water do not contain the minerals potassium, magnesium, calcium that are relevant for the human body, but they do not have good bioavailability. We get a lot more minerals from fruits and vegetables. But…
  2. Water flushes toxins and waste products out of our bodies and supports the liver and kidneys in their work. If these two organs can no longer work properly, there is a kind of poisoning. Especially if we smoke and drink alcohol or a lot of caffeine, we need extra water.
  3. Even with a high protein diet, we have to drink more because the kidneys produce more urine.

Lemon water strengthens the liver, which plays a central role in detoxification, and regulates digestion in a gentle way. Both the stimulated formation of bile and other digestive juices and the pectin from the lemon are helpful for this. The lemon water also works against the formation and multiplication of unwanted bacteria in the intestine, which supports the desired ones. Lemon water can also work against joint pain, for example in the knees or shoulders, because it helps to dissolve painful uric acid deposits. The drink is also helpful for the skin and should both act against acne and delay the formation of wrinkles.
