Have you ever wondered why you have lots of lemons and limes around,? definitely mother nature has so much in there for us.   Aliments that failed to respond to vitamin C, are known to have responded to Lemons and limes.  They are not just packed with vitamin C but other nutrients that fights disease as well making the synergy desirable.

You’re bombarded with toxins in today’s modern world… everywhere from the polluted air you breathe, the water you drink, the shampoos and other cosmetics that lather your body with chemicals, and of course, all of the chemical additives, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and other harmful compounds in the food that you eat.
All of these TOXINS can have harmful effects on your body, harming your metabolism and hormones, impairing your digestive system, and zapping your energy levels.

Squeezing fresh lemon into a tablespoon and adding it into a cup of warm water with a teaspoon of natural honey helps your key organs like the liver through out those garbage in the form of toxin.  We need to provide this occasional relief to these key organs like the liver and kidney to help maintain a healthy body. 

Drink this at least 10 minutes before eating any food for the day. Make sure to use fresh organic lemons to make this drink, and not bottled lemon juice. You want to use organic lemons to avoid the pesticides that can accumulate.

Benefits of Lemon, honey and warm water in the Morning

According to a leading health publication, TheAlternativeDaily.com: “The health promoting benefits of lemons are powerful. For centuries, it has been known that lemons contain powerful antibacterial, antiviral and immune boosting components. We know that lemons are a great digestive aid and liver cleanser.
Lemons contain citric acid, magnesium, bioflavonoids, vitamin C, pectin, calcium and limonene, which supercharge our immunity so that the body can fight infection.

Lemons are considered one of the most alkalizing foods you can eat. This may seem untrue as they are acidic on their own. However, in the body, lemons are alkaline; the citric acid does not create acidity once it has been metabolized. The minerals in lemons are actually what helps to alkalize the blood. Most people are too acidic (from eating too much sugar and grains), and drinking warm lemon water helps reduce overall acidity, drawing uric acid from the joints.

This reduces the pain and inflammation which many people feel. And the American Cancer Society recommends warm lemon water to encourage regular bowel movements.”

5. Aids in better digestion: Better digestion is essential for the proper functioning of your body, and this mixture is exactly what you need to keep your digestive tract in great condition. Each of the components of this drink aid in better digestion. Lemon helps your liver produce more bile which helps your digestive system breakdown complex foods better and utilize the essential components. Honey on the other hand has antibacterial properties that help thwart any infections you might have. Apart from that it also helps increase the production of mucous in your stomach which indirectly helps in flushing out toxins from your body. Apart from drinking this healthy drink every day, make sure you avoid these foods that are difficult to digest.

6. Can improve the functioning of the colon: In Ayurveda it is believed that we tend to have a build up of toxins or ‘ama’ on the inner lining of our stomach, that is the reason for a number of ailments including cancer. This product of undigested food, intestinal cells and dead bacteria often coats the inner lining of our stomach and is thought to lead to diseases. By drinking lemon and honey mixed with warm water the walls of the intestine – especially the colon – get stimulated; leading to the expulsion of this ama. If understanding Ayurveda is not your thing, allopathy describes this mixture as a potent natural way to cleanse the colon, allowing it to function better by helping your body absorb nutrients, get rid of toxins, stay adequately hydrated and keep bloating at bay.

7. Helps cleanse the lymphatic system: According to experts, a dehydrated lymphatic system is one of the leading causes of illness. Lack of water and essential fluids in the lymphatic system can make you feel sluggish, fatigued, lead to constipation, disturbed sleep, high or low blood pressure, stress and an all-round lack in mental function. The benefit of drinking this mixture early in the morning is that it gives your lymphatic system a boost and helps hydrate the entire system.

If you cannot find lemon, then lime is also helpful in occasional self mild detox with warm water and honey in empty stomach best before breakfast.
