I'm not talking about the honey in the little bear. I'm talking real, unprocessed, raw honey.
Raw honey contains enzymes, phytonutrients, resins and propolis--bee glue. This unique combination of properties makes it versatile not only as a food, but as an anti-bacterial agent.
As a food, raw honey can raise antioxidant levels in the body, restore muscle glycogen after a workout and help lower cholesterol and the risk of certain cancers.
As a topical substance, it can decrease infection and work just as well as alcohol solutions.
Use it as a sweetener, put some in your teas or your water, or just have a small spoonful for a quick pick me up.
(Be sure not to heat it to a high temperature. Heat will destroy many of its best qualities.)
