The health benefits of honey and lemons are undeniable. They’re so good for you that simply adding them to your water will yield positive results. Not a believer? Neither was Crystal Davis, until she gave it a try. This is her story.
Crystal Davis embarked on a 12 month journey, during which she drank fresh honey lemon water every morning.
She wanted to confirm for herself if there truly was any benefits to this drink. At the end of the experiment, Crystal was simply amazed by how much her health had improved! In her experiment, Crystal used raw honey and fresh lemon juice instead of buying artificially pre-made packets.
After 1 year, despite having skipped a few days, she was pleased to report that the experiment was a success. This is what she had to say in her own words;
1. I have not had a cold, flu or gastro illness in the entire year.
Literally. On reflection, this actually blows my mind. All of my life I’ve been a serial tonsillitis-getter, and always seemed to pick up whatever was going around. With a large family, including lots of little ones, there is always someone around who has the latest bug. I am happy to report I no longer catch them, even when it rips through the rest of the gang.
Confession: there were days I skipped totally, and though I have felt very early signs of sickness sometimes (too many sneezes in a day, run down, extra tired, suspicious tummy rumblings) nothing at all has materialised. Sure I’ve had tired days and a few headaches, but nothing to write home about.
As soon as I got back on the regime these stopped happening, and I now absolutely swear by honey/lemon—to the point I’ve become prematurely old-aged and carry them both in my bag when I stay at friend’s places or hotels. (Should I be worried I’m also proud of this?)
