🟡 Did you know lemon juice is alkaline-forming in the body—even though it’s acidic outside the body? 🍋🤯
Let’s break it down:
Lemon juice contains citric acid, giving it a very low pH (~2) outside the body. But once you drink it, your body metabolizes that acid into harmless byproducts like carbon dioxide and water. What’s left behind are alkaline minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
These minerals help support a more balanced internal environment — especially important in today’s world of high-stress, acidic diets.
✅ So even though lemon tastes acidic, it has a net alkalizing effect once processed by your body.
🌿 Supporting your body with more alkaline-forming foods (like fruits, veggies, and lemon water) can help:
• Reduce low-grade inflammation
• Support digestion and detox
• Help maintain healthy mineral balance
• Take pressure off your kidneys and buffering systems
✨Pro tip: Start your day with warm lemon water to support hydration, digestion, and natural detox pathways!
