1.Watch Your Weight Melt Away
赶走你的肉肉
Yes, drinking water and honey can help you lose weight. Get the plaguing thoughts about the sugar aspect of honey out of your head, as that is one of its benefits. I know, I know, it sounds crazy and too good to be true, but it isn’t. The sugar in honey is a natural sugar (or read: good for you), which provides a healthy source of calories. Not only that, it can help to ward off any sugary sweet beverage cravings you may have. Soda pop is full of empty calories, and though everyone knows this they still reach for the bubbly refreshment. By cutting back on the amount of pop you drink, your calorie intake drops and with that so do the pounds. It may not be an overnight success story, but it is better for you all around in the long run.
没错，喝蜂蜜水有助于减肥。别念念不忘蜂蜜含糖这件事，又不是什么值得记住的妙用。我知道听起来很疯狂，美好得像是谎言一样，但确实是真的。蜂蜜中的糖分是天然的（换句话说：有益于你的健康），会为身体提供健康的卡路里。不仅如此，蜂蜜水还能帮你戒掉你狂恋的含糖饮料。汽水除了卡路里什么都没有，这一点人人都明白，却还是想喝点气泡爽一下。喝得汽水少了，你摄入的卡路里也会减少，体重也自然减轻。蜂蜜水瘦身虽然不能速成，但长远来看还是有益于身体健康的。

2.Stay Regular
排便更规律
OK, I know talking about being ‘regular’ can sometimes be taboo, but if Jamie Lee Curtis can do it, so can I. Drinking a warm glass of water with honey first thing in the morning helps to improve your digestive system. The antiseptic benefits of honey help relieve the acidity in your stomach while increasing the production of intestinal mucus. It also helps to hydrate the colon and infuse water into your, excuse me for this, stool. All of this combines you passing much more easily and regularly. Which brings us back to watching your weight melt away, because… well, I think you can figure the rest of this one out without my help.
好吧，探讨“规律不规律”有时是有点难以启齿，但既然Jamie Lee Curtis敢讲，我也没什么不敢说的。早上起来第一件事就是喝杯温蜂蜜水，这样做有利于你的消化系统。蜂蜜有抑菌成分，可以稀释胃酸，增加肠黏液。还能滋润结肠，润滑你的，抱歉我真讲了啊，便便。这一切的一切，都会让你排得更轻松、更规律。进而，你的肉肉也会减少，因为….好吧，还是自己想去。

3.Gives Your Immune System A Helping Hand
免疫系统的小帮手
Have I stressed just how good honey is for you yet? Honey has amazing bacteria-killing properties. If you go for raw, organic honey (you should) it is full of enzymes (hello again digestion), vitamins and minerals that lead the front line against protecting against bacteria. One study presented at the Society for General Microbiology’s Spring Conference in Harrogate, UK found that Manuka honey may even help reverse bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Honey is also an antioxidant, which helps fight those bad free radicals that reek havoc in our body and on our skin.
我强调过蜂蜜的好处了吧？蜂蜜含有很棒的杀菌成分。未经加工的有机蜂蜜（你应该喝点）富含酶（又说到消化啦）、维他命和矿物质，能有效抑菌。在英国哈罗盖特举办的微生物协会春季大会上，一项研究表明麦卢卡（注：小型灌木，又称新西兰茶树）蜂蜜不仅能抑菌，更能像抗生素一样除菌。蜂蜜中还含有抗氧化剂，能抑制自由基对我们的身体和皮肤造成的破坏。

4.Reduce Your Allergies
抗过敏
And no, I'm not suggesting to take a Claritin or something like that with the glass of honey water. By using raw, local honey you help to acclimate your body to the pollens of your area. In turn, this helps to reduce your susceptibility to environmental allergies. If you really think about what bees do in the grand scheme of things, this makes perfect sense. Now I know the warm water isn't necessarily crucial to helping with allergies, but being hydrated is never a bad thing.
别啊，我可没说让你就着蜂蜜水服用氯雷他定之类的抗敏药物。饮用原生的本地蜂蜜有助于你的身体适应当地的花粉，进而降低你对周围环境过敏的可能性。你想想，蜜蜂不也是在百花丛中酿的蜜吗，蜂蜜抗敏是有道理的。当然啦，我也知道温开水跟抗敏没什么大的关系，但滋润一下也不是坏事嘛。

5.Hello Energy, My Old Friend
能量来啦，你好，老朋友
Move over coffee – honey and warm water are the new dream team for boosting energy. The benefit to your energy levels by staying hydrated has all but been shouted from a rooftop. Think of your body as a houseplant. You know how droopy and sad it gets when you’ve forgotten to water it? Your body essentially does the same thing. Studies have shown that even mild dehydration can leave you feeling lethargic, drowsy and sluggish. So let’s add honey into this equation. Now you have a natural source of simple sugars and carbohydrates (energy-givers) to an all ready proven energy booster. The total? A refreshed outlook on life and energy that you didn't know could come without a cup of coffee. Now, I’m not telling you to cut coffee out – I know I couldn’t function with out it – but next time you feel an afternoon crash, try reaching for some honey and warm water first and see if that does the trick. （清和Lavender：太多了竟然发不完）

（清和Lavender：中文补在这一楼） 别再喝咖啡了，蜂蜜水才是激活能量的最佳新品。保持身体的水分才能有能量，这人尽皆知。假如你的身体是棵室内植物，你忘记浇水，植物该有多萎靡不振？研究表明，即使中度脱水也会让人觉得昏昏沉沉、慵懒乏力。那么水加上蜂蜜，我们来看看效果吧。有了蜂蜜，就有了天然单糖和碳水化合物（可以供给能量），那么把蜂蜜加入水里呢（水已被证实，可以激活能量哦）？整体效果？就是全新的生活面貌和活力，没有咖啡一样可以。好了，虽然我劝你戒掉咖啡，其实我自己离开咖啡也不能活。但下次下午萎靡不振时，先试试蜂蜜水吧，看看有没有奇迹发生。

6.Soothe That Sore Throat And Cut That Cough
润喉止咳
According to the Mayo Clinic, hot water with honey can help reduce the soreness and irritation of a sore throat. Honey helps to coat the throat while the warm water soothes. This soothing and coating action also helps to reduce your cough, as coughing is sometimes caused by irritation from a sore throat.
据梅约诊所（美国一家医院）称，热蜂蜜水可以缓解喉咙的疼痛。在热水滋润下，蜂蜜在喉咙上形成了保护层。咳嗽往往是由于喉咙疼痛刺激造成，所以蜂蜜水的滋润和保护也有利于止咳。

7.Detox, Detox, Detox!
解毒，解毒，解毒！
Honey and warm water helps to flush out the toxins from your body. By helping you to get regular, it helps you to regularly rid your body of toxins that can build up and cause disease. Adding lemon to the mix increases the benefits, as lemons help to increase urination, dispelling toxins more frequently and keeping your urinary tract healthy. Lemon contains citric acid, which helps to maximize enzyme function and in turn stimulate the liver and help with detoxification.
热蜂蜜水可以冲走体内的毒素。通过规律排便，你体内可能会造成疾病的毒素也会被带走。如果在蜂蜜水中加入柠檬，效果更佳。柠檬利尿，毒素会通过尿液被及时带走，保持尿道健康。柠檬所含的柠檬酸，可加强酶的功效，进而刺激肝脏解毒。

8.Gassy? It Helps With That.
屁多？蜂蜜水也可以解决！
Feeling a little uncomfortable and gassy? Drinking a glass of warm water and honey will help! Honey helps to neutralize gas.
有点尴尬，总是放屁？喝杯蜂蜜水吧，蜂蜜可以解决这个问题。蜂蜜有助于中和气体。

9.Increase Your Health
强身健体
Not only will drinking warm water and honey increase your hydration (plus everything else I've listed), it also helps to increase the levels of “good” cholesterol in your body and reduce cardiovascular strain. I call that a win, win.
喝蜂蜜水不仅能增加人体水分（也不止我说的那些功效），还能增加有益于人体的胆固醇，减轻心血管压力。用我的话讲，就是双赢啊。

What are you waiting for?! Go get yourself a glass of warm water and honey while you check out these other great articles!
还等什么？！边看其他文章，边来杯蜂蜜水吧！

我妈总是一大早就给我拿一杯500毫升的水（以前是蜂蜜水，现在就变白水了），让我把它喝完。喝完就是650毫升的果汁（我的早饭），一大早就喝了这么多水。。。
