👉In natural health, we have a common saying “bitter is good for your liver.” ❤️ This is because the “bitter” and astringent compounds help stimulate the vagus nerve which activates digestive juice production (stomach acid, bile and pancreatic enzymes) for good digestion, liver detoxification and healthy gut microbiome. Warm lemon water is one of the very best ways to active vagal tone but it also has a ton of other health benefits! 🍋Food as Bioelectrical Energy The food and beverages we eat provide electrically charged molecules that initiate energy production in our body. An ion is part of a molecule that carries an electrical charge. Positively charged ions are called “cations,” while negatively charged ions are called “anions.” Most of the food we put into our bodies comes in a cationic form, while our natural digestive processes (hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes, saliva) are anionic. 🍋Lemon is one of the only anionic foods on the planet. This means that it carries a very strong negative charge and is extremely electrically active. Fresh lemon helps oxygenate the body and maximizes enzyme function.
