'drinking coffee on an empty stomach irritates more than it rejuvenates. Substituting hot water for coffee has been a great change, I have been meaning to take coffee out of my diet but was unable to find a replacement.'
Me too re: coffee as a stomach irritant. If you have the option, adding juice from half a lemon to your water first thing in the morning helps stimulate digestive fire and clear toxins too.
Thank you so much for the tip! I am going to try this from now on, I’ve heard good things about putting lemon in hot water each morning!
