Lemon Juice is a citric acid. Citric acid is known to help your stomach digest, as well as stimulate digestive juice production. The acid also helps create an atmosphere where bacteria cannot survive. This means it will help to clear out your throat, stomach, and intestines as well. Please be aware that most lemon juice that you buy in a bottle has preservatives. Lemons last a while in your fridge so don’t be afraid to buy real ones.

Cayenne Pepper gives your body a boost in digesting carbohydrates, warms your system, and helps stimulate your metabolism. Talk about getting your body going in the morning!

Mint is soothing to your stomach, tastes great, increases flow of digestive fluids, and serves to wake up your whole system.
