Pink Salt Lemon Water
Pink Salt Lemon Water combines freshly squeezed lemon juice with a pinch of mineral-rich Himalayan salt in filtered water to create a low-calorie, electrolyte-boosting drink. The recipe delivers hydration, vitamin C, trace minerals, and gentle digestive support, making it a popular morning tonic for improved energy, reduced bloating, and potential weight-management aid. Variations with honey, cayenne, ginger, or apple-cider vinegar add extra metabolism and digestive perks. While daily use is generally safe in moderation, individuals with hypertension or kidney concerns should monitor sodium intake and consult a healthcare professional. Enjoy it first thing in the morning for best absorption, pair it with balanced meals, and remember that overall diet and lifestyle drive lasting wellness results.
