Starting your day with warm lemon water has become a beloved wellness ritual—and for good reason. Beyond its refreshing taste, this simple habit can support your body in several subtle but meaningful ways. Here’s what happens when you make it a consistent part of your morning routine.

Why Warm, Not Cold?

Warm water is gentler on your digestive system first thing in the morning. It helps relax the gut, stimulate circulation, and can enhance the release of digestive enzymes. Combined with fresh lemon juice, it creates a hydrating, nutrient-rich drink to start your day.
