Just a short post this time...after all isn't there an expression "a picture says a thousand words"?
One of the staples of my diet and in fact treatment regime is freshly squeezed lemon water with the occasional lime thrown in. I drink a pitcher a day easily...often starting my day off with a glass of lemon water a half hour before I eat or drink anything for breakfast. I have read that lemon water is wonderful at de-toxifying the liver and stimulating it to assist digestion. Essentially, the lemon water makes the body more alkaline which is the end-goal. It has been wonderful at helping to manage the hiccups, sour stomach and heartburn/indigestion that have really hit me hard with these treatments. More importantly, during chemo and for the next few days afterward it is soooooo important to flush out those harsh drugs from the kidneys and liver...you don't want them sitting there for any longer than needed.
And wouldn't you know it...lemons are chock full of wonderful things like Vitamin C and anti-oxidants that certainly cannot hurt in the fight against colon cancer. So...when life hands you lemons..make lemon water.
