Honey, Honey!
The bumblebees are all abuzz;
Recent studies have found that honey contains many of the good-for-you antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables (generally, the darker the honey, the higher the concentration of antioxidants). Nature’s sweetener also has trace amounts of vitamins, over refined sugar, which has no real benefits.
Honey is also a sweet deal for people on the go. A great pick-me-up, honey has been shown to provide quick bursts of energy, help prevent fatigue and enhance athletic performance. Stir a spoonful into a glass of water before your daily workout.
And if you’re unfer the weather, honey may help soothe an irritated throat. Swallow a dollop as you need it, or add it to a cup of hot tea.
