My Daily Power Drink

(Reading Comprehension and Health Tips)

Here’s my morning habit: I drink pure lemon.
Seven (7) pieces of lemon to be exact.
No added water or sugar.
I buy them at the fair.
At home, I squeeze the 7 pieces all into a glass, and drink.
That’s it!
But first, let me give you the three incredible benefits of this very simple, very natural Power Drink.

It’s Alkaline Food
Do you know that cancer patients have acidic bodies?
Cancer cells thrive in acidic environments.
Germs multiply in acidic environments.
What causes acidic environments?
I believe the main culprits are the wrong emotional “food” and physical food that we take in.
You know that bad emotions may lead to cancer, right? But let´s talk about the physical food here and the emotional one some time later. If you really want to be healthy, then follow this rule: 70 percent of what you eat should be alkaline food.
What is alkaline food? Fruits and veggies.
Meat is acidic. Processed food is acidic. Medicines are acidic.
We think lemon is acidic.
Ironically, lemon is alkaline. Take it: But it has to be taken pure. If you mix it with water or sugar, it becomes acidic.
Unfortunately, this isn’t common knowledge.
Remember that alkaline food has a tremendous effect on your body. Germs can’t live in an alkaline environment. Cancer cells can’t live in an alkaline environment. All organs in your body function optimally when it’s in an alkaline environment.

Natural Vitamin C
This Power Drink is my daily dose of Vitamin C.
Hear me out: Nothing beats natural.
A lot of people take Vitamin C pills. Note that some of them are better than others.
But vitamin pills are always a second best.
If you can get it naturally, you should.
• Vitamin C is an antioxidant and protects your body from heart disease and cancer.
• Vitamin C produces collagen, the very thing that holds your cells together.
• Vitamin C strengthens your immune system.
• Vitamin C heals your wounds.

Cleansing Toxins
Many of us are sick because of the toxins clogging our systems. There are three kinds of toxins: spiritual, emotional, and physical toxins.
Here, I’m focusing on physical toxins.
Where do these physical toxins come from?
From the processed foods that we eat.
From the meats that we eat.
From the pesticides in our fruits and vegetables.
From the pollution around us.
Do you want to experience healing naturally?
Strengthen your liver and kidneys.
These are the two organs in your body responsible for removing toxins in your body. When the liver and the kidneys are overwhelmed by the massive amounts of toxins we ingest everyday, they become weak and can’t do their job.
It becomes a vicious cycle. Our bodies become like garbage cans that don’t get emptied for years.
Gunk builds up. So we get sick and die.
To cleanse and strengthen your liver and kidneys, eat 15 kinds of fruits and vegetables everyday.
And one powerful way of cleansing your liver and kidneys is taking the Morning Power Drink I’m recommending to you today.

How to Start This Morning Habit
Don’t take 7 pieces of lemon right away.
Take seven days to adjust to it.
Here’s a simple way of doing it:
Day 1: Take 1 piece.
Day 2: Take 2 pieces.
Day 3: Take 3 pieces.
Day 4: Take 4 pieces.
Day 5: Take 5 pieces.
Day 6: Take 6 pieces.
Day 7: Take 7 pieces.

After the seventh day, you can keep taking this natural Power Drink
for the rest of your life.

Four Rules
Rule 1: Take it first thing.
When do you take your Power Drink?
When you wake up in the morning. This is the first thing you do. Take it on an empty stomach.
Rule 2: Take it pure.
Don’t add water or sugar.
If you do, it becomes acidic and thus loses a lot of its healing effect on your body.
Rule 3: Take it green.
For greater effect, get the green lemon, not the yellow ripe ones. This is also the reason why you can’t buy lemon for a whole week’s consumption. Or they’ll ripen and become yellow. Try to buy for two or three days only each time, so you always take the green ones.
Rule 4: Don’t take anything else for an hour.
After taking your Morning Power Drink, do whatever you want to do, just don’t eat breakfast yet. Let the lemon juices do its work in your body for an hour.
After an hour, take your breakfast.


Don’t Expect a Miracle After a Month—
But You Can Expect a Miracle After a Year!
I’ve taught my morning habit to a few friends.
Some of them did it but gave up after two or three weeks.
Most common reason?
“I don’t see any changes in my health,” they tell me. One person said, “I still get sick often!”
I can’t blame their reaction. We’re so used to popping a pill and expecting our fever to disappear in 30 minutes.
But the 7 pieces of lemon aren’t a pill.
It doesn’t fight disease. Instead, it builds up your body to fight the disease. And that takes time.
You don’t strengthen your immune system, alkalinize your body, cleanse your kidneys and liver in a few
days or weeks or months.
You do it over many months.
My suggestion is you do this morning habit for a year.
