reduce the risk of some cancers and heart diseases.

helps the body regulate blood sugar levels. Some
honeys have a low hypoglycemic index, so they don't
jolt your blood sugar.

effective as convectional treatment with silver
sulfadiazine. It is speculated that the drying effect of
the simple sugar and honey's antibacterial nature
combine to create this effect. Studies have shown that
honey is very successful in healing wounds.

production of immune cells according to a study at the
School of Medicine, Cardiff University, Uk.
Manuka honey is a favorite of mine.
Also note that Buckwheat honey should be a part of
every winter medicine cabinet and here is why-it's

this particular honey can keep you healthy throughout
the winter as said by Dr. Bhatia.
