August 15th is the World Honey Bee Day or National Honey Bee Awareness Day and in the spirit of that day, I’ll be highlighting 4 benefits of honey to the overall body.
1) For Weight Management: Honey is one of the best foods for losing weight because according to the famous author and nutritionist Mike McInnes, honey burns body fat even while when you are sleeping. Doctors recommend to have a spoonful of honey before going to bed. Also, having a little honey with warm water on empty stomach early in the morning helps increase the metabolism, which in turn helps reduce weight faster.
2) For Healthy Skin and Face: Honey is the best natural moisturizer, especially for your dry skin and it is also very easy to apply. Raw honey not only unclogs pores but it also helps moisturize parched skin, helps to cure cracked lips during winters and for correcting your skin tone when it is used as a mask. Applying a mixture of honey and olive oil also gets rid of eczema. It can also be used as a natural antiseptic for treatment of wounds, bruises, cuts, burns and other infections e.g the Manuka honey.
3) Boosts Memory: Since mental health (and mental attraction like some people in BBnaija house) is so important, honey helps to boost memory and concentration through its natural antioxidants and therapeutic properties whose function is to boosting brain’s system and circulation and also recedes cells that cause memory loss.
4) Natural home remedy for Dandruff: Honey provides nourishment to dry hair and gives you smooth and soft hair. To prevent your hair from falling, you can use honey and lavender with green tea. And for dandruff, all you need to do is mix 2 tablespoons of honey with equal amount of vegetable oil and apply it on your hair. Keep this hair mask on for 15 minutes, and then rinse it off before you shampoo.
As you have heard, honey not just works for your skin and hair, it even works for your brain. So before you throw out that honey, think about it again and if you don’t have honey at all, kindly buy so you can benefit from the benefits of honey.
