Hydration
Before even getting to the lemon aspect of the drink, it is important to rehydrate yourself sufficiently after a night of sleep, so upping your fluid consumption right at the start of the day will help to get you back on track.

Replacement
It’s also important to remember that just because you can gain the most benefits from drinking lemon water in the morning, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be drinking it throughout the day too. Replacing some of your more unhealthy drink choices like soda and coffee with lemon water is only going to be positive for your body. You will be ingesting fewer calories and adding more nutrients. A win-win situation!
