Hydration & Morning Power Shot

Hydration & Morning Power Shot

This time of year is wet, cold and damp. In Ayurveda, it is very Kapha. For the body, I like hot yoga where the movement, breath, and heat wake up my inner fire. Taking conscious action to prioritize movement helps me move forward even during these cold days. 

I start my day with a glass of warm water and a fresh lemon slice. After hydration and before breakfast, I enjoy my morning power shot.

Water that is room temperature–not too cold or hot–first thing in the morning and throughout the day including 30-minutes before meals is so beneficial. Adding lemon is beneficial too!

From brain health to digestion to metabolism to our natural detoxification pathways, drinking adequate water supports your optimal wellness. 

When you are well hydrated, so is your skin! When you are dehydrated, your skin will show more signs of aging, feel tight and dull, and appear patchy. Support your natural radiance and glow by staying hydrated.

When we sleep, our body rejuvenates and detoxifies so water first thing helps support the body to flush out the toxins and strengthen the immune system.

Follow with a Power Shot to fire up your digestion, release toxins, support elimination, and support weight management.
