]]> I love honey.  It is an all natural food that is pure and can be eaten straight out of the comb.  I will add not to give it to your infants less than 1 year due to the pollens in the honey.  But did you know there are tons of healthy benefits from honey?  And it’s cheap!  Here are a few that I found are great.

  1. Hot Totties for a cold and cough – 1/3 lemon juice, 1/3 whiskey, and 1/3 honey; heat it and drink a shot every 6 hours
  2. Cough – 1 tsp when needed
  3. Laxative – Put some in your drink to cleanse your colon
  4. Protectant – Bug bites and small cuts can be protected by putting honey directly on the wound to keep dirt and germs out until you can treat it.
  5. Calcium – Some studies have shown that honey can help you retain calcium.
  6. Sedative -Ok this is a stretch but put some honey in a cup of warm milk helps you sleep.
  7. Hangover Helper – Put a few tablespoons on bread to help speed up the metabolism of alcohol.
  8. Eczema - Use honey soap to reduce eczema
  9. Fights bacteria – Honey evidently inhibits bacterial growth
  10. Healthy – Great source of Antioxidants

So enjoy eating honey every day, multiple times a day with no worries.  Use it instead of sugar to sweeten your drinks.  It has fewer calories and more benefits than sugar.  AND it’s cheaper.
