The easiest lemon water for weight loss!

Whether you’re trying to lose weight or you simply want to look and feel healthier, one of the best ways to rid your body of harmful toxins is to drink water. Just 6 to 8 glasses every day will help to keep you hydrated and keep your vital organs in their best condition. You don’t have to drink plain water, however. In fact, there are a number of things that you can add to your water that will not only boost the taste, they will help to flush those harmful toxins out of your body. That being said, it’s vital that you start introducing citrusy fruits such as lemons, limes, strawberry, kiwi, grapefruit and oranges into your daily diet. It is known as Detox water.

Lemon water detox diet:

It works by cleansing the body of toxic materials, resulting in accelerated weight loss. The reason you lose weight so quickly is the severe caloric intake restriction over a short time frame. This dramatic calorie cut can result in a large drop in weight over a small period of time (a few weeks).

The people who want to want to lose a considerable amount of weight in a short time frame, such as going to a party or event. The diet can help you look your absolute best in just a few weeks.

How does it make:

It is rather surprising that while many people are aware of this detox plan, very few actually have a working understanding as to the goal of the Lemon Diet. For all intents and purposes, this cleansing program aims to rid the body of toxins and free radicals that destroy healthy cells and are responsible for a wide range of degenerative diseases.

Ingredients:

Another great thing about the Lemonade Diet is that it requires very few ingredients- just four in fact. All you need to do the lemon cleanse diet are the following:

1.Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice (2 TBSP)
2.Genuine Grade B maple syrup (not artificially flavored)(2 TBSP)
3.Cayenne pepper (powder form) (1/10 Tea spoon)
4.Hot water (purified or spring, not distilled) (8 OZ)

The lemon juice acts as the main replacement for all your meals. Since this detox diet requires the elimination of solid food for a week or so (minimum), it is necessary to replace it with something else that would allow the body to function more or less normally.

The juice has to be freshly squeezed each time (daily dose).The maple syrup, apart from being the drink sweetener, it also helps eliminate toxins from the body. Keep in mind that you will need an organic and rich maple syrup. There are so many artificially flavored syrups on the market today that customers have to be very discerning shoppers especially when they need very specific ingredients.

Some tips:

1.You should drink 6-12 glasses of lemonade each day.
2.Drink when you feel hungry.
3.Drink it as soon as you make it to prevent the pepper from “steeping” and making the drink too spicy.
4.Try sea salts or herbal tea. You can also mix 1 TSP of unrefined non-iodized sea salt mixed in 30 OZ of water to flush. Try them twice a day.

“Zika virus” the hidden threat towards humanity.

In May 2015, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) issued an alert regarding the first confirmed Zika virus infection in Brazil. The outbreak in Brazil led to reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome and pregnant women giving birth to babies with birth defects and poor pregnancy outcomes.

The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week.

What are the symptoms of Zika?

About 1 in 5 people infected with Zika will get sick. The illness is usually mild. For this reason, many people might not realize they have been infected.

Measles, the reorganization of the World Health Organization and the Zika virus could all make global health headlines in 2016.

How is Zika transmitted?

Zika is primarily transmitted through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, the same mosquitoes that spread Chikungunya and dengue. These mosquitoes are aggressive daytime biters and they can also bite at night. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the virus to other people through bites. It can also be transmitted from a pregnant mother to her baby during pregnancy or around the time of birth.

What can people do to prevent Zika?

Protect yourself and your family from mosquito bites.
Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
Stay in places with air conditioning or that use window and door screens to keep mosquitoes outside.
Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellents.

Sleep under a mosquito bed net if you are overseas or outside and are not able to protect yourself from mosquito bites.

What is the treatment for Zika?

1. Get plenty of rest.

2. Drink fluids to prevent dehydration.

3. Take medicine such as acetaminophen to reduce fever and pain.

4. Do not take aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

5. If you are taking medicine for another medical condition, talk to your healthcare provider before taking additional medication.
