This sweet and satisfying drink is both tasty and extremely soothing to the body and soul. This simple but very powerful beverage has been promoted for centuries as a “Powerful Healing Elixir for Life” . For centuries many people around the world will attest to using it for health and wellness. Honey and lemons both have well-known health benefits causing us to wonder if this amazing combination should be considered one of the best remedies in the world. Honey has the best source for sugar available, with antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties. On the other hand lemons are known for their exceptional power of alkalization in the body. It also includes high levels of vitamin C and even many beneficial plant compounds.
How do you benefit from this amazing drink?
1.Honey lemon tea improves digestive health.gr
For me it is comforting just to imagine myself having a warm, sweet and soothing tea. Honey lemon tea is just the answer for me. But what can you do when you have just eaten something that causes digestive problems or you already have digestive issues? We are all aware that being properly hydrated is essential in keeping our digestive system healthy. And drinking honey lemon tea is an excellent way to keep you properly hydrated and is also very essential in improving digestion. Honey lemon tea has a soothing effect on our stomach. It can help heal our internal stomach wounds. It has been well studied when it comes to ulcers that drinking this tea has the power to shrink the ulcers in size and ro reduce the pain ulcers cause. Lemon has the power to cleanse the liver simply by encouraging it to detoxify itself which promotes a proper liver function.
2.It helps prevent kidney stones formation
You would be shocked to know that a large percentage of the population suffer from kidney stone formation. I have had at least 3 people in my family go through this very painful ordeal. The problem is that when a person has their first kidney formation issue, it is a lot easier for it to keep reoccurring. The good news is that if you drink honey lemon tea on a regular basis it can have the power to improve kidney function and at the same time, prevent kidney stone formation. Lemons have the power to increase urine production which in turn makes it hard for stones to form inside our kidneys. At the same time the sugar in honey aids the body with sugar control. We all know that raw honey is way healthier than consuming white sugar. Why is this balance so important? This sugar imbalance plays a vital role in your kidney health. Individuals with diabetes, overtime, have a difficult time keeping their kidneys healthy, due to the bad sugar control they have in their blood.
3. A nice cup of hot honey lemon tea helps you heal when you are sick, no matter what the illness may be. There is nothing better to drink than honey lemon tea when you are sick. It doesn't matter if you have a bacterial or a viral infection. This sweet beverage is just as effective in healing both. Raw honey can be used as a natural effective cough syrup. A single spoon of raw honey can reduce cough and mucus secretion right away. Lemons are a great source of vitamin C, a very important nutrient in health over all and especially on your immune function. Lemons are also loaded with antioxidants which help fight off oxidation and promote immunity. This is very important because oxidation can worsen an infection or cold, or any other disease. Drinking this combination is very effective when we are sick.
4. Honey lemon tea is very effective in flushing out toxins. Drinking it daily can help you detox many organs in your body, such as your intestines, skin, respiratory system, liver and even your immune system. It may not have been proven but many people will swear that drinking honey lemon tea on a daily basis has helped them improve and strengthen their memory and improve lucidity. My kids will attest to this, as they love it so much and feel it is one of the reasons they continue to improve on their chess skills. They are always competing with one another.
5. My favorite reason for drinking honey lemon tea is to keep my weight down. When you need to lose weight and at the same time want something sweet, delicious and healthy to drink, this beverage is definitely worth a try. Many studies have shown that to shed some pounds it is important to increase your metabolism by increasing your water intake and adding this extra delicious beverage can help you do just that. Lemons are one of the most alkalizing fruits. This means that they have the power to accelerate our metabolism so we can continue to continue to lose some weight. Unlike its name, Acidic foods do not turn our pH acid. It actually does just the opposite. Citrus and acidic fruits like oranges, grapefruits, lemons and limes have a powerful alkalizing effect on the body by elevating your pH, which makes your blood alkaline and then accelerate your digestion and metabolism. This is why if you add a cup of warm honey lemon tea every morning it will help you shed those pounds.
