Why I heart lemons = Alkaline

I love lemons!!!!! For me they are like sunshine,it is like they hold sun inside of them. They are alkaline which is very important,we want to try to keep our body more alkaline then acidic,I think. I like to have a few squeezes of lemon juice with warm water first thing in the morning,it helps to wake up your insides. Some people like to drink it throughout the day,you can squeeze half a lemon to a liter of fresh water or to your taste. I like to make lemonade when it is hot outside because for me it keeps me hydrated and I need to drink something other than plain  water. My recipe is:                                                                              
                                                         2-3 lemons 
                                                         1/4-1/2 cup of agave nectar syrup
                                                         1 liter fresh water
                                                         pinch of sea salt                                                                                                  
                           squeeze lemons and mix all together drink or cool to taste enjoy!

I also like to use lemons in my bath.I juice a half of lemon and add it to my bath water, it leaves my skin really really refreshed especially if I have been feeling hot and sweaty.
