SURPRISING HEALTH BENFITS OF HONEY
Only RAW, PURE honey has antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-fungal properties. Real honey is also loaded with minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. Below are just a few of the ways honey can be used.
Caution: A study conducted for Food Safety News shows that at least 75% of the honey sold in the US is actually not real honey.
Acne
Use it as a face cleanser to aide in the fit against acne.
Spread about a half a teaspoon on your face, let set for 10 min, rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Allergies
Take a teaspoon every morning to build up your immune system and reduce seasonal allergies.
Antioxidant support
Honey increases plaque-fighting antioxidants in your body.
Athletic aid
Honey is great source of carbohydrates which are the body’s primary fuel. It also promotes muscle recuperations,
glycogen restoration and positive blood sugar levels.
Bad Breath
Honey’s antibacterial properties eliminates bacteria in your mouth. Mix a tsp of honey, 1/8 tsp of cinnamon and
1/2 cup warm water and gargle morning and night. Remember to brush after!
Cough/Sore throat
A teaspoon of honey coats and sooths the throat reducing the impulse to cough.
Diabetes
Honey increases insulin and decreases hyperglycemia. Please consult your doctor.
Digestion
Use a tablespoon or two to counteract indigestion. It also helps your body process alcohol.
Fatigue
Honey is primarily fructose and glucose, so it's quickly absorbed by the digestive system. You get the energy you need
without the spike and crash of other products.
Heal wounds
Use a thin layer of honey on minor cuts, scrapes, and burns to reduce healing time and fight scaring.
Hiccups
Just like a spoonful of sugar, honey has been known to get rid of hiccups.
Improve circulation
Honey helps your brain function, strengthens the heart and improves blood circulation.
Lose weight
Substituting honey for white sugar can help you manage your weight.
Lower cholesterol
Honey helps reduce cholesterol and decreases your risk for coronary artery disease.
Moisturize
A spoonful of honey mixed with olive oil is a great way to hydrate your skin and treat mild eczema.
Pre-biotic
Honey is full of natural prebiotics which in turn promotes the growth of good bacteria in the intestine.
Shampoo/Hair mask
Honey can be used to cleanse and condition your hair and scalp.
Sleep
Honey promotes sleep. Take a tablespoon before bed each to help increase your melatonin levels.
