Since 2100 B.C. Honey has been known for its natural healing abilities.  Among other things, Honey is a Natural Energy Booster due to its great natural source of carbohydrates which provide strength and energy to our bodies. Honey is effective in instantly boosting bodily performance, endurance and reducing muscle fatigue.

The glucose in honey absorbs into the body quickly and gives an immediate energy boost, while the fructose is absorbed more slowly providing sustained energy. Compared to other types of sugar honey keeps levels of blood sugar fairly constant.

Here are some tips on ways of using honey to benefit your health:

 Next time before you go for a workout, take a spoonful of honey to enable you to go for the extra mile.

 If you are feeling low and lethargic in the morning, instead of reaching out for a carbonated energy drink,  try honey. Spread it on hot toast or replace the sugar in your tea with it for a refreshing surge of energy.

 If your kids having a hard time adjusting to the physical strain from the buzzing activities at school.   Add a small container of Honey (we recommend our Creamed Cinnamon Honey) to their lunch as a dip for   sliced apples.  Do not be surprised when your child comes home from school saying the other kids helped  themselves to their honey.

 Honey makes a great immunity builder. Honey’s antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties help improve   the digestive system and help you stay healthy and fight disease. Start every brand new day with this  cleansing tonic if you want to see this health benefit of honey: before breakfast, mix a spoonful of honey and  lemon juice from half a lemon into a cup of warm water and drink it.
