This delicious beverage is refreshing in the summer, a real treat in the winter and a true wonder cure for a variety of ailments. If you're still not convinced, here are 9 reasons you should make honey water your drink of choice in the morning.
Drinking honey water can help you lose weight, despite the sweetness of the drink. The natural sugar in the honey is much healthier than the processed white sugar or corn syrup that is used in soft drinks, and is a healthier source of calories. By replacing soft drinks with honey water you'll see a difference, although not overnight.
2. Maintain Healthy Bowels
Some people are shy about this topic, but there's no shame in discussing it. One cup of honey water a day will help your digestive system and keep you regular. The antibacterial properties of honey help prevent stomach aches and indigestion, and help the body strengthen your stomach's lining.
Honey is a natural antibacterial substance, and is also full of enzymes, vitamins and minerals – all of which help protect your body against germs, particularly organic honey. Several studies have shown that Manuka honey, a unique honey made from a plant in New Zealand, can kill even antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and can be used as a natural cure for Helicobacter. 4.

5. Healthy Energy Boost
Even mild dehydration can lead to you feeling tired, so imagine what a cup of water and honey can do to your energy levels. Unlike coffee, the energy boost doesn't subside. Instead, the body remains energized for a prolonged period of time.6. Say Goodbye to Sore Throats
Every grandmother will tell you that honey is the perfect remedy for a sore throat and coughing. Drinking honey water will create a type of coating around your esophagus, which will calm any coughing and pain, creating a smooth, pleasant sensation in your throat.
7. Detox
Honey water helps flush toxins out of your body, both by helping your colon, as well as by its antibacterial properties. Detoxing your body regularly helps you feel better and prevents infections. To boost the detox, add some freshly squeezed lemon to your honey water. Lemons too contain antibacterial properties, are diuretic, and aid liver functions.8. Less Bloating
9. Keeps Your Heart Healthy
Above all of its other advantages, honey water helps in raising your "good" cholesterol (HDL) levels. Furthermore, it prevents the body from producing stress hormones, which put pressure on the heart and cardiovascular system. www.keralites.net          |
