Why Lemon Honey Water
When I was looking for answers to health complications, I learned that I carry the MTHFR gene. This means my body has a harder time filtering out toxins and chemicals, which was affecting my overall health.
All of us are exposed to chemicals every single day—through the air we breathe, the food we eat, the products we use on our skin, and even the water we drink. Our bodies are constantly working to process environmental toxins.
After researching the MTHFR gene, I was surprised to learn that it is quite common. I started learning about natural ways to support the body’s detoxification process, and one of my favorite methods has been drinking Lemon Honey Water (LHW).
Lemon honey water helps your body’s detox pathways work more efficiently, allowing your liver and digestive system to filter out unwanted substances. When these pathways are not supported, toxins can accumulate and potentially lead to health complications over time.
A Few Benefits of Lemon Honey Water
Lemon supports your body’s natural detox pathways by aiding digestion, hydration, and normal liver function. It is also a source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that supports immune health, protects your cells, and helps your body process nutrients effectively.
Honey provides gentle digestive support through its natural enzymes and prebiotic compounds. These help break down food, nourish beneficial gut bacteria, and contribute to balanced, steady energy from within.
Ever Wonder Why You Wake Up with Bad Breath?
While you sleep, your liver works hard to process chemicals from the previous day. Waste products and bacteria accumulate on your tongue overnight, which is why you may wake up with bad breath. Drinking LHW first thing in the morning is one of the best ways to support your body when it is ready to eliminate toxins.
How to Make Lemon Honey Water
You can start with this recipe and adjust as needed:
Ingredients: ½ lemon, 16 ounces water (2 cups), honey
Directions: Squeeze half a lemon into 16 ounces of water and drink in the morning, ideally on an empty stomach. Add honey to taste.
For me, this is a simple way to care for my body and has had a significant impact on my health. I start every day with lemon honey water. Sometimes the simplest habits are the most powerful!
