One of the healthiest way to start your day is to drink honey lemon water and the health benefits are no secret.
Honey and lemons are nature’s best power foods or super foods. Putting these two together results in more health benefits. Try this honey lemon water to keep your immune system in tip-top shape and keep infections at bay.
Steps to make the honey- lemon drink:
Boil a cup of water and allow it to cool a bit until it is just lukewarm to touch.
Add a teaspoonful of organic, unprocessed honey and stir well till the honey dissolves.
Take a fresh organic lemon and squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the honey water.
Give it a stir and drink up.
Drink the mix on an empty stomach.
Immune Booster:
Make it a practice to drink lemon water and honey on a daily basis to give your immune system a much needed boost. Have this mix on an empty stomach every day to see a big difference in the way your digestive system works. This mix helps in hydrating your colon and protects from constipation. In short, this helps in protecting against any kind of digestive and urinary infections.
Healthy weight loss:
If losing weight is not difficult enough, losing it in a healthy way is way more difficult. Lemon water and honey mix helps in a healthy weight loss.
Lemon helps in purifying blood and helps to cleanse the stomach, which in turn aids in a healthy weight loss. The honey lemon mixture keeps us feeling full longer and help you to avoid unhealthy cravings, thanks to pectin, a type of fiber in lemons.
Honey is an instant energy-booster! If you’re not exactly a morning person, this mix is sure to wake you up.
It is very important that you drink the mix immediately after preparing it, and as mentioned earlier on an empty stomach, to reap the full benefits. Never reheat the mixture. According to Ayurvedic principles, heating honey makes it toxic. If that doesn’t make sense, we can at least acknowledge that heating this half-digested nectar may destroy the bee enzymes and other beneficial substances in it. They are what make honey a unique natural sweetener.
