After my coffee, I then drink my lemon water with vitamin C while I prepare my vegetable juice.
I've posted about how GAPS got me into a juicing habit previously. It seems to me an easy way to get a minimal amount of veggies in no matter what I do the rest of the day.
Because even after the coffee and the semi-shock of the lemon water, I am still not a morning person, I simplify my juice system by doing most of the prep in advance.
There's a bunch of so-called reasons out there for drinking water with fresh lemon juice in it first thing every morning.
IMNSHO, most of them are hogwash. Sure, lemons contain vitamin C, pectin and potassium, but not enough to do anything. Unless you're juicing scores of lemon, the health benefits are minimal.
Also, I am not a morning person. I need a huge dose of coffee first thing in the morning. Then I need to sit like a lump until it hits me. So nothing else is going to happen first thing in the morning until after that!
But once I'm wakened enough to face the day without growling, the first step of my morning routine is to juice half a lemon.
Lemon juice makes the medicine go down... or something.
