This lemonade is perfect for a little bit of everyday detox.  Water with lemon creates an alkalizing effect in the body.  it helps to maintain a higher level of pH. The higher the pH, the more your body is able to fight diseases. It cleanses the liver, blood and helps regulate natural bowel movement. Just to name a few health benefits. Turmeric is a wonderful herb that we should use every day. But how can we add turmeric in meals everyday? Simply, add it to your lemonade. It is much better than taking turmeric pills. Turmeric has great anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancerous properties and is also great for boosting immune system. Pollen is rich in protein, amino acids, vitamins, including B-complex and folic acid. Make sure to start slow with consuming bee pollen because it can cause allergic reactions, and its not safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

What is your favorite drink in the morning?
