What happens to the body if you drink honey lemon in the morning?

According to Master, Doctor Vo Tuan Phong, Center for Endoscopy and Digestive Endoscopic Surgery, Tam Anh General Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, honey is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phenolic acids, and flavonoids, which are good for the respiratory, cardiovascular, and digestive systems.

Antioxidants, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help boost the immune system and eliminate toxins. Honey has long been used to protect the body against certain cell damage.

Lemons are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. A 60g fruit provides about 30 mg of vitamin C, which is 30% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C for adults. Lemons also contain other micronutrients such as magnesium, iron, potassium, and vitamin A, which help boost the immune system. The vitamins and minerals in this fruit help the liver produce bile, which aids digestion.

The combination of lemon and honey will help support digestive health, promote metabolism, and eliminate toxins from the body. Drinking warm water with honey and lemon in the morning provides energy and helps to cheer up the spirit.

Drinking after meals can promote and improve poor digestion, thanks to the citric acid in lemons that stimulates the stomach to increase acid secretion. Hydrogen peroxide helps kill harmful bacteria in the stomach, promotes rapid digestion, and reduces feelings of bloating and flatulence.

Do not drink lemon juice on an empty stomach because the acid can cause inflammation, ulcers or stomach reflux. People with stomach problems or irritable bowel syndrome should limit their use to avoid worsening symptoms.

People with poor intestinal health should drink lemon juice mixed with honey 1-2 times per week. Mix in a ratio of one glass of warm water (200 ml) with one to two slices of whole lemon and two tablespoons of pure honey to avoid affecting the stomach lining.

The best time to drink is about 1.5-2 hours after breakfast, helping the digestive system work better. Using it in the evening, 2-3 hours before bedtime is beneficial for the digestive system, replenishing the amount of water lost during sleep, helping the skin to be bright and supple.

You should pay attention to the time, dosage, and frequency of using this drink. Lemon and honey should be purchased from places with clear origins, ensuring food hygiene and safety. People with stomach problems, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease should consult a doctor before using honey and lemon.
