Honey Lemon Water: A Traditional Chinese Medicine Approach to Weight Loss

January 2, 2024

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that lemon is sour and cool in nature, and has the effect of harmonizing the stomach. The substances contained in lemons, when properly prepared, can be very effective as weight loss agents. It is well known that honey and lemon can be combined for weight loss. Today, I will introduce to you how to prepare honey lemon water for weight loss.


How to prepare honey lemon water for weight loss?

First, prepare fresh lemons. Fresh lemons have a strong fragrance and contain rich vitamins and aroma components. Dried lemons lose some of their aroma components, so we cut the fresh lemons into thin slices. It is important to soak the lemon slices with the peel because the lemon peel contains flavonoids and lemon essential oil. By cutting them into thin slices, the aroma components inside can be easily released. Then add honey to make the taste even more delicious.

1. Drink at least three liters of lemon water daily. There is no need for special dieting or giving up snacks, but you must constantly replenish with lemon water.

2. Add half a lemon's juice to one liter of water and keep it in the refrigerator. The lower temperature will give a cool and refreshing feeling. If you like, you can also add some honey, as honey is also a weight loss food.

3. Exercise for at least 15 minutes every day. It does not need to be continuous, and dispersing the exercise time can also help with sweating, with the aim of eliminating harmful substances from the body.
