We all know its good to avoid sugar in a healthy diet. Honey however is a natural sweetener you want to keep in your diet.
Honey offers many health benefits and is used as a medicine as well. Hippocrates believed honey was a great natural healing product and so thought the ancient egyptians. Honey is often used to treat wounds and can be used to kill bacteria in the throat that cause throat infection.
Some of honey's benefits
Boost immune system
Organic honey contains essential vitamins, minerals and enzymes that protect the body and support the immune system.
Honey helps losing weight
If you want to flush fat from your body honey is a great help. Drinking tea or warm water with lemon or honey will help detoxify your body and lose fat in the process.
Prevent Cancer & Heart disease
Honey contains powerful antioxidants which help reduce the risk of some cancers and the risk of heart disease.
Treat cough and throat infections
As said earlier honey is good for dealing with throat infections. The best way is to mix honey with hot water or tea.
Treating wounds and burns
Applying honey on wounds and burns is an excellent first aid remedy. Honey is a natural antiseptic, this means it inhibits the growth of bacteria and helps cleansing the wound and free it from further infections.
Honey boost your energy levels
Honey contains natural sugars that can boost your energy levels dramatically. Eating honey will also lower the body's crave for sweet food or drinks.
For me its always Tea with Honey and I occasionally add lemon or fresh mint. Other options would be to mix it with yoghurt or paste it on bread. It goes well with muesli and yoghurt!
