Show Me The Honey!!!
My tip for the week is for everyone to add a touch of honey to their diets. It has been proven to help the body in numerous ways including helping allergies, aiding in digestion, and increasing metabolism. So, not only is it a sweet and tasty treat, it is an easy way to give your body the extra boost it needs. If you are feeling drained of energy or if you are about to do anything physically strenuous on your body, take a teaspoon of pure honey and see the energy increase almost immediately. I have recently found honey to be excellent on sandwiches, as a rice seasoning, and good with butter on toast/bread. So I encourage everyone to support your local honey suppliers and add a sweet touch to all of your recipes :) Honey is also the only food that never spoils, so don't worry about buying in bulk and then having to throw it out. Word of Warning: Honey is high in both fructose and glucose, so if you have problems controling your blood sugar, don't overdose on honey.
