Anti-fatigue
Rich in oxidants, if you regularly consume honey, you will be better able to resist viruses and bacteria. Feeling a little tired at 5pm? A small slice of honey as a snack will do you a world of good! Honey is a natural sugar that is easily absorbed by the body. And it's much healthier than a pastry full of saturated sugars.
Anti-insomnia
If you don't sleep well, add a tablespoon of honey to your tea or a large glass of milk. It contains tryptophan, an amino acid that induces sleepiness and helps you fall asleep.
Anti-hangover
Honey is high in fructose, a sugar that accelerates the oxidation of sugar in the liver. If you drank too much the night before, make yourself a honey-based breakfast the next morning. Your alcohol headache will disappear like magic after about an hour.
Anti-bacterial
After a burn or cut, apply a little honey to the wound. The wound will heal much faster, as it stops the spread of bacteria.
Anti-sore throat
Honey is an ancient remedy for sore throats and a natural cough medicine. A gargle of lemon juice mixed with honey will relieve your aches and pains like a good syrup.
