In a world where we are constantly searching for natural solutions to keep us healthy and strong, we need not look further than our kitchen cabinets. From an early age, with our grandmothers who were true wizards with homemade remedies, I learned to appreciate the trio that always held a special place in our home: honey, lemon, and olive oil.
Do we remember our grandmothers who, at every sign of a cold, would quickly act with their reliable remedy – warm tea with honey? They taught us that honey is not just a sweet treat, but a powerhouse full of antibacterial and antioxidative properties that protect and strengthen our bodies. Flavonoids and phenolic acids in honey fight against free radicals and preserve our immunity. With a little warm water, it seems to be the perfect remedy for everything.
As children, we were convinced that lemon juice in the morning was a magic potion that drives away all diseases. Over the years, this has only been confirmed. Rich in vitamin C, lemon is a real fighter in the production of white blood cells and our defense against all invaders. Its juice, mixed with a little warm water, is a real morning awakening – for both body and spirit.
And olive oil? That liquid gold magic was more than just an addition to salads. Its monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, and polyphenols are not just good for the heart but also for strengthening our immunity. The recommendation is to use it daily, its power to reduce inflammation and keep us healthy. Since it has been proven that Mediterranean countries have the lowest rate of chronic disease and the longest life expectancy, we can conclude that olive oil and its application in the diet of Mediterranean countries is a key factor in these facts. Olive oil, whether on its own or with the addition of natural ingredients, contributes to the improvement of our health and is an immunity bomb that we should use daily.
By combining these three ingredients, let’s create a drink every morning that is more than just a routine. It’s a way to say ‘good morning’ to our body, giving it everything it needs to fight against the challenges that come. The combination of these three ingredients is a natural remedy against coughs. ½ cup of honey, ½ cup of olive oil, and the juice of 5 lemons – who would have thought that such simple ingredients could create such a wonder? Olive oil and lemon are a synergy of healthy living, and in combination with honey, they are an even stronger ally of our health.
Besides being a remedy for cough, it supports healthy digestion and is a natural remedy for the prevention of gastritis. Prevention with olive oil for gastritis is certainly better than its treatment.
Over time, we realize how precious these natural gifts are. There is evidence of the positive effects we get from the experiences of many people who have tried lemon and olive oil. One teaspoon of this health elixir is recommended for everyone in the morning before meals.
Their regular use is not just a step towards stronger immunity; it’s a path to better health and life. This simple, yet powerful combination always amazes me again with its impact on our health.
