Can honey and lemon help lose weight? by Dr Janardhana Hebbar - Aug 15, 2014

Over ages, the health benefits of drinking honey and lemon in warm water has had

many takers and staunch believers who vouch by its miraculous fat melting properties. This potent combination triggers an increase in bile production from the liver and stimulates and hydrates the colon

helping expel toxins, bacteria, undigested food and prevents constipation.

Lemons help the body regulate the absorption of sugar and its abundant Vitamin C helps the body absorb calcium into its fat cells, which is critical to faster fat burn.

Lemons are rich in citric acid that combines with existing digestive acids and enzymes to assist the digestive process. The fiber, Pectin present in lemon peels converts into a jelly when it comes in contact with enzymes in your gut, increasing satiety, reducing

cravings and overeating and reducing the absorption of sugar from the food you eat.

So its importance to sparking metabolism,

aiding smooth digestion and colon health, and helping in expelling waste products is a given. But ensure that you do not go overboard with the lemon juice or honey as both in excess can create other imbalances like acid reflux, tooth enamel erosion, etc. As

is the case with all diets, the results will vary from person to person so follow the golden rule to understand your body type and notice signs from the body when you embark on this juice course.
