Morning ritual for health: why you should start your day with water with lemon and ginger

As reported by TUT.AZ, Russian gastroenterologist Alexandra Kovaleva revealed the secret of a simple but powerful morning drink that can significantly improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

"Drinking water in the morning helps restore water balance after sleep and is necessary for the normal functioning of all body systems. This is especially important for the gastrointestinal tract, as water stimulates intestinal peristalsis and prevents constipation," the specialist emphasized in an interview with gazeta.ru.

The real power of this drink lies in its components. Lemon is a true treasure trove of beneficial substances: phenolic compounds, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, essential oils, carotenoids, and bioactive substances, including the unique limonene.

Scientific research confirms: limonene not only has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects but also beneficially affects GI tract motility and helps regulate blood pressure.

Ginger complements this healing cocktail with its main active component - gingerol. This compound has proven its effectiveness for the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Gingerol lowers cholesterol levels, fights inflammation, and significantly improves digestion, preventing bloating and functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.
