A GLASS OF HONEY, LEMON & OLIVE OIL WATER EVERY MORNING
As you know, there are so many viruses and bacteria around us that affect our overall health. However, if you want to maintain your good health and have a better life quality, you should start taking care of yourself from inside out.
I want to share with you a very simple but powerful blend that you can easily prepare yourself every morning and it will boost your system against infections and diseases.
A glass of water with honey, olive oil and lemon every morning.
The drink is very simple to prepare and it is also very effective, as it protects you against colds and flu, it gives you energy, reduces stomach aches and improves digestion while detoxifying your organism. Plus, it tastes great.
· What you need?
200 ml of lukewarm or warm water
the juice of half a lemon
1 tablespoon natural honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
· How will you make it?
Simply, pour the honey in the water and mix it until it is dissolved and unified and then add the squeezed lemon juice with the olive oil. Stir the mixture a little more and voila! The beverage is ready to drink.
I would recommend to drink this every morning as you wake up with an empty stomach as I will go through your system and –of course- after that you can have your coffee or breakfast. This is how I prefer to drink it.
Benefits?
Plenty.
1. It improves the digestive process
Proper digestion is very important for our health and lemon is vital for it, as it stimulates the gall to secrete more acid, which helps the stomach to process better food and get the most out of all its nutrients.
On the other hand, honey with its antibacterial properties, protects against infections and it also helps to effectively remove toxins by stimulating the stomach to produce more gastric acid. Honey is considered to be the sweet medicine of nature. Through its probiotic action, it enhances the good functioning of the intestine, it is a natural source of glucose, -which is the main fuel for the brain- and it is known for its antimicrobial activity and antiseptic properties, even in wound healing.
2. It protects against urinary infections
This beverage is diuretic and it is an excellent cure for cystitis and constipation, as lemon and honey encourage the actions of the organs that form part of the digestive tract, as well as the colon.
3. It cleanses the blood and makes the skin glow
If you consume lemon on a regular basis, your body will produce new blood cells faster and will, thus, contribute to the process of purifying your blood. In addition, it also makes your skin glow because lemon (being rich in vitamin C) and water are beneficial to the skin, as they stimulate collagen production.
4. It detoxifies the liver
Olive oil becomes more drastic when mixed with lemon. A 2018 study found that extra virgin olive oil provides potent antioxidant protection against toxins, that cause oxidative stress, stones and damage to the liver. The mixture of lemon juice with olive oil can help you remove harmful toxins from your liver.
