Honey Lemon – Benefits

Honey Lemon is a soothing and pleasant drink, whether served hot or cold!

In the world of health and wellness, It has also been promoted as a healing elixir. The drink is proven to help melt fat, clear up acne, and “flush out” toxins from the body.

Both honey and lemons have many health benefits

Honey: It is commonly used as a natural substitute for processed sugar. Honey is a delicious, healthier alternative to sugar. However, keep in mind that honey should only be consumed in moderation, as it is still high in calories and sugar.

It contains virtually no fiber, fat, or protein.

It also has some therapeutic uses, such as treating skin wounds and burns. Studies have also shown that honey reduces cough symptoms and improves sleep patterns.

High-quality honey contains many important antioxidants. These include organic acids and phenolic compounds like flavonoids and it is believed that this combination is what gives honey, its antioxidant power. Antioxidants are known to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and some types of cancer. They may also promote eye health. The antioxidants can also help reduce blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels.

Make sure to only choose high-quality honey, pure honey, or organic honey because some lower-quality ones may be mixed with sugar syrup.

Lemon: Most health benefits of this tangy fruit come from its high levels of vitamin C and other beneficial plant nutrients.

It improves skin condition. It promotes hydration.  Studies have proven that it promotes weight loss.

It aids digestion. Drinking warm or hot, lemon water can help to kick start your digestive system.

It can also help to freshen breath, as it stimulates saliva with prevents dry mouth which can often lead to bad breath.
