You Want Me to do WHAT!!!??? Put honey in my coffee, on my toast and on my wounds?

Honey is one of those things, like aloe vera, that is a natural super hero. It seems as though honey can do just about anything! It can heal, it can sweeten, it can soothe, and it is just plain goodness.
Why is honey so fantastic? Well, the main reasons are that it is very good at killing bad bacteria, it can help ease constipation, it’s thick texture soothes sore throats, it’s healing powers are dynamite on cuts and other wounds, and above all, it’s sweet as… well, honey!
Doctors used to carry honey with them to put on wounds before bandaging them up, it is a great way to clean a wound without spending a lot of money on polysporin, which is full of chemicals, honey is natural! Place a drop on a band-aid to help heal the wound.
Honey can also be put into warm lemonade or chamomile tea to make a sore throat feel better. The honey and lemon will also help to kill off the bad bacteria and promote the good bacteria which will help fight off any cold viruses.
Honey will also promote good bacteria and help eliminate the bad bacteria in the intestinal tract. For this reason it can be beneficial during times of constipation.
Honey is actually sweeter than white sugar! It may contain equal or more calories than white sugar, but don’t be alarmed! Because honey is much sweeter than white sugar, so you often need less of it to get the same result, this will reduce your calorie intake. Another important difference is that honey is much easier for the body to transform into energy. Sugar takes longer to turn into energy and for this reason the body has more opportunity to transform it into fat instead. Honey, on the other hand, will transform into energy fast enough to avoid being turned into fat. So, if you’re watching your weight, put some honey in your coffee instead of sugar!
The best parts about honey are that it comes from nature, it’s not an expensive medication, and it’s sweet enough to put on and in everything from coffee to toast to tea!
