5. Relieves constipation: Few drops of lemon juice and honey in a glass of lukewarm water is said to be an effective cure for constipation. The drink ensures easy bowel movements and smooth flow of food particles through the intestine. It is a popular home remedy for constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.

6. Treats throat infection: Honey lemon water is a potential drink to treat throat infection. Throat pain, sore throat, chest congestion, cough, cold, and flu symptoms can be treated with a glass of the drink.

7. Boosts immunity: Honey lemon water is the best drink to kick-start your day with. The drink boosts immunity by fighting diseases, removing toxins, keeping infections at bay and aiding digestion. Drink a glass of honey lemon water every day to stay fit and healthy all through.
