Day 3 that I roll out of bed, drag myself to the kitchen, put on the kettle and stare at it come to a boil whilst I very slowly start planning the rest of my moves for the morning...Usually this consists of getting dressed and wearing something fabulous, slapping on the makeup and doing up the hair and then sitting down infront of my altar to do 30 minutes of Gongyo and Daimoku -chanting Nam Myo Jo Renge Kio... (although today I woke up with only 20 minutes to do all this and catch the bus, so i managed to do a full 1 minute of chanting!) and on usual days preper a nice taperwear of salad or veggies or something delish for lunch that day!. So once the water sounds like its coming to a boil I snap out and pour warm water into a cup of one squeezed lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne powder. This is doing miracles for my health! My body was begging for it today!! The lemon (although acidy, is actually an alkaline) and seems to break down the mucosity in the system (caused by high acid foods such as diary and animal products, coffee and teas, smoking and processed food - this can be tricky because it may look healthy but once cooked it loses all its goodness and becomes acid!) Although the idea of hot cayenne chilli first thing in the morning sounds disgusting, its actually rather pleasant. the reason I drink this is so that it speeds up the metabolism... and it does! I highly recomend you try it! ;) Have a nice day!
