With so much focus on high blood pressure, it’s essential not to overlook low blood pressure, which is often due to low blood volume. When you wake up in the morning, your blood volume is lowest. Low blood volume can cause dizziness when standing, poor exercise performance, and a decreased sense of well-being.

Plain water in the morning can dehydrate you by diluting essential electrolytes, especially sodium, which is vital for healthy blood volume.

Cortisol is highest at 8:00 a.m., and sodium is excellent for lowering cortisol, so salt is a great tool for a stress-free day. Himalayan sea salt is a great option, or try Baja Gold salt if you’re prone to high blood pressure.

Fresh lemon juice is an excellent source of vitamin C, which is beneficial for the skin and is a potent antioxidant that supports the inside of the arteries. Opt for organic lemons or organic lemon juice.

Lemon juice contains citric acid, which helps reduce the risk of kidney stones. Other benefits of lemon water include the following:

•Reduces the incidence of gout

•Helps phase 1 and phase 2 detoxification in the liver

•Helps thin bile and reduce the incidence of gallstones

•Supports digestion

•Helps regulate cholesterol

•Protects the insides of the arteries

•Increases microbiome diversity

•Potent antimicrobial properties

•Increases absorption of non-heme iron

If you drink lemon water daily, it's best to drink it with a straw to protect your tooth enamel. For added bioflavonoids, try blending an entire lemon with a glass of water and a pinch of salt!

If salty lemon water is too tart for you, try adding a couple of drops of liquid stevia. For added benefits, you can also add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the mixture.
