Honey, an immunity-boosting Superfood
Immunity is an important aspect for consideration at all times, especially in the case of children and the elderly. Honey, being a natural antioxidant, and having antibacterial properties, helps improve the digestive system and boost immunity. In our blog “Honey, the natural antibiotic we need!” we have mentioned the several properties which honey possesses and hence, it is known as a natural healer.
Honey not only has medicinal values but also has therapeutic value. It helps heal the wounds and cuts and also helps maintain health and resolve issues like cholesterol and menstrual cramps. It is a great source for antioxidants which help protect the body from cell damage, leaving behind a younger-looking skin.
Hydrogen peroxide, being an antiseptic, helps natural honey to be a major source of anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Honey has been widely used as a medicine in the early days to treat various infections. Honey is a phytonutrient powerhouse, responsible for its antioxidant properties, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal power. They’re also a reason why honey has shown immune-boosting and anti-cancer benefits.
Honey is a better source of sweetness when compared with sugar because of its properties. According to the National Honey Board, honey is cholesterol-free, fat-free and sodium-free source of sweetness.[4] Consumption of natural honey in case of a common cold or a sore throat is the easy home remedy to opt and keep away from the chemicals which may harm the body in the long run.
