- Honey is a great way to soothe a child's nighttime cough caused by an upper respiratory infection. It is has even been known to work better than over-the-counter children's cough medicine.
- Honey has resins in it that provide protection in numerous ways. They act as anti-bacterials, anti-virals and anti-fungals.
- When applied topically, honey can improve wounds and burns better than some traditional treatments. This is because honey dries up the wound, preventing infections from forming, and also contains an enzyme that creates a small amount of hydrogen peroxide when it comes into contact with water in a wound.
- Eating just a spoonful of honey every day can help boost the antioxidant levels in the blood. This is great for preventing oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
- Pure honey is a great source of natural energy that athletes can use instead of other carbohydrates before, during and after workouts. Honey helps to keep blood sugar levels constant and at manageable levels so energy does not run out.
