The benefits are many: 'They are nutrient‑rich, high in vitamin C, fiber, and essential minerals, and the skin contains valuable antioxidants.' 'Blending a lemon with water creates a delicious and refreshing drink that helps us stay hydrated.' Lemons can also help with weight management by promoting fullness and boosting metabolism,' noted the star Burke also exercises daily. She loves to go for a walk in her neighborhood while holding in her tummy and strapping on weights. 'Movement is what matters most. And giving yourself the opportunity to get outside, move your body, and escape from your to do list, is meaningful,' she said. 'These days I have added ankle and hand weights when I walk which helps burn more calories. I really work on my abs while I am walking by sucking in my stomach. I don't even think about it anymore, I just do it.' As far as yoga, her favorite moves work on her core. They include the cobra pose and the warrior pose. 'Core focused Yoga really works for me because the tummy needs extra work after menopause,' she said. And she also does cold plunges for extra fat burning.
