Lemons are acidic so how does it alkalize? great question! it is not the relative acidity of lemons but rather the effect it has on the body that is important. the high alkaline mineral content of lemons (limes and tomatoes too) means that once consumed and metabolized they increase the alkalinity of the cells of the body. seemingly simple, our clean me up is powerful and aids as a "liquid brush" with its alkalizing and detoxing properties. cayenne pepper, the kicker, contains substances that allow the body to burn off more calories from fat as well as cleanse the colon and intestinal walls thoroughly. this ingredient combined with lemon forces waste materials out of the body by way of bowel movements until the digestive system regains status quo. like a spicy lemonade but not nearly as sweet. boost your metabolism and kickstart your day while detox'ing out those existing impurities.
