THE CHALLENGE

Let's all challenge ourselves by drinking lemon water for 30 days. Why 30 days? Because that's how long it takes to form a habit and the 21-days is not enough. I have already tested its benefits and all are great and amazing. Easy to prepare and myriad of benefits.
If you were a coffee drinker, please post-pone a cup of coffee for 1 hour and I know you can do it if you want to feel and look better. After 30 days please come back and hit the comment box and let's hear your testimonies. Below are the procedures and tips on how to make your lemon water.
