In order to keep skin silky soft and muscles highly functioning, it’s important to gulp down some H2<\/sub>O in the a.m. (ideally 8- to 12 ounce glass of room-temperature water) before coffee or breakfast. Add the juice of 1\/2 a fresh lemon to give the immune system a boost, \u00a0reduce inflammation and aid digestion. Years ago my Naturopath recommended adding a tablespoon of greens powder (look for one that includes\u00a0chlorella <\/a>and\/or spirulina<\/a>) to the warm lemon water to establish an optimal alkaline (ph) level to start the day. It’s an acquired taste but worth it!<\/p>\n
