The internet is flooded with new and different types of drinks every day. While some promise to aid weight loss, a few others claim to provide some or the other health benefit(s). We are not saying that these drinks do not work as promised, but following the correct procedure for consuming them is also very important.
The trend of drinking lemon water early in the morning on an empty stomach is quite the rage now. However, not many of us are aware of the correct method to prepare it. Merely squeezing a lemon in a cup of water and adding a tablespoon of honey to it is not enough to reap the benefits of this drink.
