Added on: 20th Oct 2016

 

THE ORIGINAL RED BULL

Due to honey’s simple sugars, glucose and fructose, it directly

enters the bloodstream, rather than taking time to break

down like more complex sugars. The rapidly flooding of

our body with energy gives a short term boost, especially

useful for marathoners and endurance athletes.

 

 

PRESERVES FRUIT

Honey doesn’t cease to amaze; in this unexpected use for

honey, berries can be preserved by canning them with a

1:10 mix of honey and water. Try it with blueberries and

raspberries picked in the summer for delicious winter eating.

 

 

EASES DISCOMFORT DURING PREGNANCY

Every woman experiences pain during pregnancy, it’s

unavoidable. But this unusual use for honey can help relieve

heartburn and morning sickness. Honey mixed with milk can

help neutralize excessive stomach acid, especially useful

before bed.

months and frequently turn to lip balms to ease the discomfort.

But did you know you can make your own soothing lip balm

at home? Mixing honey with beeswax, cocoa butter,

vitamin E, and olive oil will keep your lips moisturized

and comfortable.

If you suffer from dandruff or dry hair, rub a mixture of 90%

Honey to 10% warm water into your hair. Rinse three hours

later, after which you should find less itching and the end

of scaling within a week’s time.

 

 

ENDS A BOUT OF HICCUPS

Though hiccups are often associated with a mumbling drunk,

they can happen to any of us at most any time. In another

unexpected use for honey, eating a teaspoon of the nectar

can be used to bring this inconvenient bodily response to an end.

 

 

A PROVISION FOR THE END OF THE WORLD

If you’re worried about nuclear apocalypse, is anybody still

worried about this?, then stockpile honey. Besides being

calorie dense, honey never goes bad. Honey found in the

Egyptian pyramids has been heated to return it from its

crystallized state to a more viscous state.

It was then perfectly fine to eat.
