Honey and lemon are two natural healthy foods, a combination that is also found in different cultures for generations. The combination of pure and raw honey with fresh lemon juice is a popular remedy that helps with many health problems including those of digestion. Often the lack of stomach acidity causes the digestive process to not function properly. Acidic stomach fluids are important to break down food before it reaches the small intestine. Also stomach infections and various intestinal disturbances impair digestibility and can cause bloating and abdominal pain. Honey and lemon in this case show properties from which the entire digestive tract benefits, with which we introduce you below.
Properties of lemon juice
Acidity in lemon juice can aid in the ability of stomach acid to digest food chemically. It not only provides more nutrients that are absorbed by your intestines, but also relieves the symptoms of indigestion, bloating and heartburn. Lemon juice also exhibits antimicrobial properties and is a rich source of vitamin C, which combine to reduce the incidence of infections throughout your gastrointestinal tract.
Properties of honey
Honey also has antimicrobial properties and as such it is used effectively to relieve some forms of gastritis. In addition, honey exhibits antioxidant properties that can contribute to the health of the digestive tract by eliminating free radicals, reducing inflammation and removing toxins. Darker-colored honey usually has more antioxidant properties than lighter-colored varieties.
Mix honey and lemon
Honey and lemon have antimicrobial, antioxidant properties and are good sources of nutrients. A good solution is to mix them in a little warm but not boiling water, to dissolve the honey before adding the lemon juice. The ratio is 1 teaspoon of honey with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice in a glass of warm water./ AgroWeb
