Health Benefits Of Lemon Water

A lemon slice is usually a popular choice with water when dining at a restaurant -- but what people don't know is how beneficial lemons can be!

People spend boat loads of money on expensive detox drinks, weight loss pills and elixirs made to supposedly rejuvenate their complexions -- but what if there was one thing that could help replace the work of all three?? Well, the answer to that is: Lemon water. That's right. Lemon water has just about every great benefit that you'd ever want.

Detox and digestion.

Lemon water helps stimulate the liver into releasing toxins as well as aiding in digestion and relieving an upset stomach.

Increase in Vitamin C.

Since our bodies don't make vitamin C on their own, it's important to ingest an appropriate amount from foods and drinks. Lucky for us, lemons are full of vitamin C. So, we're able to have better immune systems and keep flu/colds away.

Rejuvenates skin.

Aside from helping us keep a strong immune system, the vitamin C we get from lemons also helps the body produce collagen -- keeping us wrinkle free!

Weight loss.

Sipping on lemon water throughout the day can actually aid in weight loss because lemons contain pectin -- a fiber that helps one feel full longer -- so you'll tend to eat less junk food and be mindful of what foods you should eat.

Hope these are reasons enough for you to change your daily habits and fix yourself a nice, refreshing glass of lemon water!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
