I'm with "healthniche". Lemon water in the morning kick-starts your liver into a form of gentle detoxification. Your liver is the organ in the body that needs to process everything you ingest. Even those eating a healthy diet are going to benefit from the extra liver support. Just remember that any form of detoxification can lead to flulike symptoms as your body clears out the cobwebs. Go slow, expecially if you are in poor health.
