What Happens To Your Body When You Drink Honey Lemon Water
Most people start their day with some pretty bad habits. Carbs are usually the main thing people reach for, at least in North America. Bread and cereal are not only packed with simple carbs that convert directly into glucose and then fat storage, these foods are often laced with sugar to give us the illusion of energy. Coffee on it's own is not high in calories, but it's also not high in vitamins or healing properties.
Stars like Gwyneth Paltrow highly endorse drinking water, lemon and honey as soon as you wake, but does it really work? Writer Crystal Davis decided to take the challenge and consistently drank one cup of honey lemon water every day for a year. What happened to her body will amaze you!
"I have not had a cold, flu or gastro illness in the entire year."
Honey lemon water has long been touted as an immune system enhancer and creates a natural antibacterial barrier on your skin. It can also be a preventative measure if you feel a cold or flu coming on. For Crystal, she was shocked to find that despite being susceptible to many airborne viruses in the past, she came down with literally nothing.
"I no longer need coffee and have become a morning person."
"The zing I get from lemon and honey first thing in the morning has become something I crave, and doesn’t leave me with headaches or the dreaded caffeine comedown." Crystal explains. The mixture helps pump fresh blood to your brain in the AM and eliminates toxins that cause fatigue and lethargy.
"The people around me are becoming more healthy—the biggest reward."
Crystal convinced her family and friends to try her morning brew. It has helped them with digestive issues, infections, acne and even weight loss. It is a cleanser for the colon, urinary tract and lymphatic system. When you are not carrying extra toxins, you are less inflamed and are less bloated, so you feel leaner and more energetic. "It’s such a lovely feeling to know that I can help my loved ones feel more well through something so simple and available." Crystal comments. Are you willing to take the honey lemon water challenge?
