You don't need to be a bartender to mix up this incredible drink

Next time you are out and order just a water from your server, be sure to ask them to add a little lemon. Some people like it for the taste or some like it because it simply looks better, but after learning a little more, I think I like it for the health benefits.

Not long ago, I heard my friends talking about a cleanse, where they would drink nothing but lemon juice or lemon water for two to three days in order to flush away any impurities in their body. Now, I certainly am not ready to not eat for three days, but the idea that lemons can naturally 'detoxify' is enough for me to pick up a few lemons at the grocery store. It's just a lemon and water, after all. What could be easier?

And more than that, I like the taste of it! With the sweet taste of lemon added, I enjoy drinking water-- gaining the benefits of lemon and water in one simple, everyday drink.
