Nothing beats the health benefits of honey for the human body and not only when you feel sick but every day of your life for a healthy lifestyle

Honey has been used as a food and medicine since ancient times. And let’s face it, nothing beats honey when it comes to sweetening your tea, garnishing your pudding or topping your French toast naturally. However, honey is not just delicious and sweet in taste, but nature has packed it with countless health benefits.
Honey contains 80% sugars, 18% water and 2% vitamins. It has been described as the perfect ingredient to add to your morning breakfast or post workout meals. For example, you can mix honey with mustard which is another power ingredient, and prepare a delicious marinade for your chicken breasts. Cook in a low fat fryer such as Actifry and add them to your post workout salad.
Honey is a natural antibacterial with wound-healing effects so it’s perfect to soothe the pain if you cut or burn yourself. You can either apply it on the wounded/burned area, or inside a bandage that should be changed every 24 to 48 hours. Check with your doctor first!
High quality honey is rich in antioxidants which are essential to the human body. In addition to preventing cancer, antioxidants present in honey help lowering blood pressure and therefore preventing heart diseases and strokes.
