According to Dr. Phung Tuan Giang, President of the Vietnam Institute for Research and Development of Traditional Medicine, the combination of lemon and honey will create a drink that is both delicious and good for health, especially for weight loss because it is a source of diverse vitamins and minerals but low in calories.

How does lemon and honey work?

According to physician Giang, lemon is a fruit rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, and also provides calcium, iron, potassium and fiber. Lemon has antioxidant, alkalizing and detoxifying effects on the body, strengthens blood vessels and has a negligible amount of calories.

Because lemon is sour and rich in vitamin C, it is best used in the morning. It should not be used in the evening because it can increase the risk of kidney stones.

Honey is a product distilled from the essence of many herbs, containing many important vitamins such as B vitamins, vitamin C, copper, potassium, iron, calcium, antioxidants...

Therefore, honey has the effect of improving digestive function, beautifying and anti-aging, supplementing nutrition for people with weakness, regulating blood sugar, anti-inflammatory, healing wounds...

According to traditional medicine, honey is sweet; mild and moist; has the effect of replenishing the middle, moistening the intestines, promoting bowel movements, and detoxifying.

Choosing honey is also very important. You need to choose real honey, collect honey in the right season (late spring).

Be careful when using honey collected in the fall, as it can cause poisoning. Because the flowering period of poisonous plants is often in the fall, it is easy for poison to be mixed in when bees collect nectar, and the toxins in honey can come from the flower pistil.

Effects of lemon and honey

Doctor Giang also said that there are many ways to combine lemon with honey. You can mix lemon juice and pure honey with warm water to drink.

You can also make a convenient honey lemon by soaking lemon slices (with the peel intact) in honey. Every day, take a sufficient amount of this diluted mixture to drink. You can add more lemon juice to taste.

The combination of lemon and honey will create a drink that is both delicious and healthy, especially for weight loss because it is a source of diverse vitamins and minerals but low in calories.

You should drink lemon honey for breakfast and lunch, not in the evening. In addition, you can apply a single diet to detoxify your body (drink only lemon honey) on the weekend, to ensure that it does not affect your work.

Warm lemon is also very good for health.

Doctor Giang said that in addition to combining lemon and honey, warm lemon is also a very healthy drink. Drinking warm lemon water is an easy way to increase the amount of water, antioxidants and vitamin C in the body.
