Benefits of  Honey Lemon  Water

1. Honey And Lemon For Weight Loss

Lemons are high in pectin fiber, and low in calories which helps fight hunger cravings. The warm water, honey with lemon also creates a more alkaline atmosphere in the stomach. This helps loose weight faster.

Studies have shown people who maintain a more alkaline diet, do in fact lose weight faster. I personally find myself making better choices throughout the day, if I start my day off right, by making a health conscious choice to drink warm lemon water first thing every morning.

2. Aids Digestion

Lemon, honey and warm water together can give your digestion an instant boost. Its atomic composition is similar to saliva and thereby helps in the digestive process. It encourages the liver to produce bile which is an acid that is required for digestion. The digestive qualities of lemon juice help to relieve symptoms of indigestion, such as heartburn, belching and bloating.

3. Cleanses The Intestines Improving The Absorption Of Nutrients

Luke warm water with honey and lemon in it increases the peristalsis of gastrointestinal tract and helps in the cleansing of gut. It helps in the expulsion of accumulated fecal material and stops the build-up of ama in the gut. It helps your body absorb nutrients, get rid of toxins and stay hydrated.

4. Boosts Your Immune System

Lemons are high in vitamin C, which is great for fighting colds. It also enhances iron absorption in the body; iron plays an important role in immune function. Lemons are also high in potassium, which stimulates brain, nerve function and controls blood pressure.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) found in lemons demonstrate anti-inflammatory effects, and is used as complementary support for asthma and other respiratory symptoms. Lemons also contain saponins, which show antimicrobial properties that may help keep cold and flu at bay. Lemons are also rich in flavonoids which acts as direct antioxidants and free radical scavenger.

5. Cleans Your Urinary Tract And Acts As A Diuretic

Lemon juice and honey water helps flush out unwanted materials by increasing the rate of urination in the body. Therefore, toxins are released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy. The citric acid in lemons helps maximize enzyme function, which stimulates the liver and aids in detoxification. For women who suffer from frequent UTI (urinary tract infection) this juice is a boon and is known to keep recurrent infections at bay.

6. Balances pH Levels

Lemons are one of the most alkalizing foods for the body. They are acidic on their own, but inside our bodies they’re alkaline (the citric acid does not create acidity in the body once metabolized). Lemons contain both citric and ascorbic acid, weak acids easily metabolized from the body allowing the mineral content of lemons to help alkalize the blood. Disease states only occur when the body pH is acidic. Drinking lemon water regularly can help to remove overall acidity in the body, including uric acid in the joints, which is one of the primary causes of pain and inflammation in the cases of gout.

7. Promotes Healing

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C), found in abundance in lemons, promotes wound healing, and is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of healthy bones, connective tissue, and cartilage. As noted previously, vitamin C also displays anti-inflammatory properties. Combined, vitamin C is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of good health and recovery from stress and injury.

8. Freshens Breath

Besides fresher breath, lemons have been known to help relieve tooth pain and gingivitis. However, be aware that citric acid can erode tooth enamel, so you should be mindful of this. Do not brush your teeth just after drinking your lemon water. It is best to brush your teeth first, then drink your lemon water, or wait a significant amount of time after to brush your teeth. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with purified water after you finish your lemon water.

9. Hydrates Your Lymph System

Warm water and lemon juice supports the immune system by hydrating and replacing fluids lost by your body. When your body is deprived of water, you can definitely feel the side effects, which include: feeling tired, sluggish, decreased immune function, constipation, lack of energy, low/high blood pressure, lack of sleep, lack of mental clarity and feeling stressed, just to name a few.
