Did you know that 'two thousand years ago Greek athletes stuffed themselves with honey during training for the great Olympiad, aware that it could boost their energy and performance levels,' writes Gloria Havenhand.
Honey has so many good points and can help lots of diseases. It has glucose and fructose which help the liver. A teaspoon has only 22 calories, whereas the same amount in sugar has 15, but the honey is far more beneficial.
It is valuable for the brain as it can support your brain function. It boosts the immune system and has an antibacterial effect internally and externally, helping the body to heal.
It is also good for cold sores, periodontal disease, infected leg ulcers, psoriasis, eczema and arthritic joints. It can be used for fatigue, repeated infections, allergies and colds. It contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids and bioflavonoids which help the immune system to work properly.
A couple of tablespoons a day can also encourage a good night's sleep. It supports friendly gut bacteria, aiding digestion, and is good for IBS sufferers. It is also a diuretic and removes excess water from your tissues and joints.
Apparently if you eat it for breakfast with a dash of cinnamon it can help with stiff knees.
