    Hey...
    Here are some benefits of honey for health.....
    1 Though honey has more calories than sugar, honey when consumed with warm water helps in digesting the fat stored in your body. Similarly honey and lemon juice and honey and cinnamon help in reducing weight.
    2 Honey can soothe and encourage the healing of sores in the mouth or vagina.
    3 A bowl of oats porridge with a spoonful of honey will calm the nerve. Ideal to be taken before an exam.
    4 Honey is a great moisturizer and can be used on the skin as a natural revitalizing mask
    5 Natural honey causes a lower rise in blood sugar than that of refined sugars in people with Type 2 diabetes.
    6 Recent research has shown that honey is an excellent ergogenic aid and helps in boosting the performance of athletes. Honey facilitates in maintaining blood sugar levels, muscle recuperation and glycogen restoration after a workout.
    7 Honey and cinnamon for Curing Arthritis. A paste should be made from one part honey and two parts of luke warm water added with a small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. This paste should be massaged on the itching part of the body and the pain should recede within fifteen minutes in most cases.
    8 For stomach ulcers, gastritis and sore throats, 1-2 teaspoons on an empty stomach (½ hour before meals), 1-4 times a day to assist in healing and provide pain relief.
    9 Honey works well on chapped lips and for acne because it has antibacterial properties.
    10 Honey also makes a great moisturizing pack. Just mix 2 tablespoons of honey with 2 teaspoons of whole milk, smooth over the face and throat, and let it do its job for 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, and finish splashing with cold water

    You do know this only applies to REAL natural, unprocessed honey. Most of the stuff at the supermarket doesn't really apply.

    manuka honey is from nz, the bees go to the manuka flower - hence the name
    its the most popular/famous - can't believe you havent' heard of it
    pricey too! wen u get the high umf ratings
