By Maria BentsonHydrating your body with the correct amount of water is just as important as nourishing your body with healthy foods. I cannot stress enough how good it is for you to monitor how much water you are drinking in a day; we should all be getting at least 64 ounces, which is kind of a crazy number. I sometimes find drinking that much water in a day a steep task especially because it doesn’t have any flavor. Lemon water has always been my cure for spicing up my water without adding any natural sugars from powder packets. Guys, those are so bad for you. Recently, I have fallen victim to the essential oil craze (it’s actually a disease). I picked up this lemon essential oil and I am obsessed with what it has done for me. Lemon water is best known for its ability to cleanse toxins from your body and to purify skin. AND IT DOES!! It also widely used to aid digestion, promote weight loss, and improve mood and your immune system. Every time I fill up my water bottle I drop about 4 drops of the pure lemon extract in. Since doing this everyday I have noticed the pores on my face decrease in size, evened out my skin tone, and eliminated all acne. I have also found success in it aiding in digestion, I hardly ever have an upset stomach from certain foods, which got to be a big problem living in the dorms last year. Adding the actual fruit to your water is just as good; I just love having the essential oil because of the ease and not having to carry lemons around. I got this one on melaleuca.com but they are sold in most natural food stores, co-ops, and I think even in Whole Foods. You will not be disappointed in how well it makes you feel :) **If you do buy any essential oils to put in your water make sure you are adding it to only liquids that are in glass bottles.
