No, there is no such thing as 'cleansing the body(system)'. It is a term invented by food faddists, most of whom want to sell you something. The body cleanses itself, through the normal systems of the body. If there is a dysfunction in one or more of those systems, lemon juice will not help--It may be helpful in cleansing the outside of the body, however, and it tastes OK on fish.

Answer 2

I've heard that as well. Don't just drink straight lemon juice though - add it with water or tea. :)

Answer 3

Lemon juice, when taken regularly in the morning, acts as a tonic to the liver and stimulates it to produce bile making it ready to digest the day's food.

Answer 4

Drinking hot water with some lemon juice and a dip of honey (to make it nicer to taste) is good in the mornings to get your digestive system going...
Drink it first thing in the morning

Answer 5

lemon juice with a pinch of cayenne pepper helps to clear toxins in your liver and jump start your digestive system when taken in the morning. Wait at least 30-45 minutes after drinking before eating breakfast as it needs time to work uninterrupted. This information I have been give by my naturalpath holistic nutriontist so it works!
