Lemon honey water has been referred to as the magic potion or the miracle drink, and with good reason as drinking lemon honey water is very healthy for one.
You can drink lemon honey water hot, but at room temperature or lukewarm it contains the best health benefits as this allows for the full enzymatic and energetic properties of the lemon to be felt. Hot water actually destroys some of the enzymatic properties and ice-cold water will hinder the digestive benefits of the lemon.
Health benefits of drinking lemon honey water include:
- Purifies: Honey contains anti-bacterial properties, and lemon is known as the cleansing agent because it cleans and purifies your blood. The combination of these two also aids in getting rid of acne, wrinkles and other skin problems.
- Weight Loss: Lemon honey water is low in calories and helps to fight hunger, which means that you will eat less of those sugary, fattening snacks.
- Digestion: All three ingredients in this drink are good for you, and the combination will work wonders for your digestive system because it produces bile.
- pH Levels: Drinking lemon honey water helps remove acidity in the body, thereby aiding in the reduction of pain and inflammation.
- Fresh Breath: Lemon honey water relieves toothache, prevents bad breath and including it in your early morning ritual will leave you with fresh breath all day long.
- Diuretic: Lemon honey water helps to flush out unwanted materials by increasing the rate of urination, thereby releasing toxins from your body at a faster rate.
- Period Cramps: Add some ginger to your morning Lemon honey water if you are experiencing period cramps and you will stay hydrated and cramp-free.
Use only good quality water, such as that from a water cooler, and squeeze around half a lemon into a 250ml glass or cup of lukewarm water. A water cooler that provides cold, ambient and hot water would work well as the ambient water setting is about perfect.
