The health benefits of honey, combined with its taste and flavor, have found many admirers for the liquid gold. Honey has been compared to several things including maple syrup but the stark difference can be felt in the actual taste. The history of consumption of honey is long and has passed through different stages. But centuries later, honey is still sitting pretty inside our homes.
To begin with, it is the taste and flavor which really attracts you at first. Adding a bit of honey to your daily food items makes them even more delicious. There are several ways to eat more honey. You can add it to your toast, mix it in water and drink, put it on desserts of nearly all sorts, and/or simply drip a bit of honey in a glass of milk and gulp it down. Thus there’s no real struggle when it comes to consuming honey.
Coming to the precious health benefits that honey packs, there’s at least one (or more) for every season. To fight off cold and flu, honey can be taken in hot water or you can prepare honey lemon tea. Honey also helps fight chest congestion and infections. Not only this, honey also packs anti-bacterial properties which can help you fight off acne and skin breakouts. Also, honey comes across as an effective natural cure for dry skin, dry lips, wounds, and burns.
Day by day, people across the world are getting introduced to the calming effect which honey has on our body. Mixing a little bit of honey to your herbal tea can really help. Moreover, honey also helps battle hangover. A slice of lemon and honey mixed in a glass of water is a very good natural therapy to tackle those weekend hangovers. Besides all these amazing uses, honey is also good for your digestion. It has a soothing effect on sore throat and can also be used in homemade face masks.
Thus it is safe to say that honey totally deserves the title of ‘liquid gold’. It is both attractive and precious. Honey which is available in the market is generally stored and lacks the complete goodness of farm fresh honey. So if you can arrange untouched pure farm fresh honey, then please do so. Also, darker the honey, higher the level of anti-oxidants. So that’s it then, make sure you have enough room for the goodness which this liquid gold brings.
