6 B E N E F I T S
Manuka honey’s velvety texture and sweet taste is just the icing on the cake when you consider the vast amount of nutrition it provides. Here are 6 benefits of this beautiful product that is getting so much attention from all over the world.
1.
Manuka loves your digestive system
Many researchers have been observing probiotic properties in Manuka Honey for a while now. They’ve found that some of the sugar in honey is used in the small intestine while the rest goes through the large intestine undigested. So, healthy bacteria are stimulated in the body to improve your digestive system and prevent the accumulation of toxins.
2.
Manuka gives you energy
Manuka energy comes from fructose and glucose. The glucose contained in Manuka honey is quickly absorbed by the body and becomes an instant source of energy. The fructose is a slower and longer release unlike the sugar spikes associated with processed sugars (sucrose).
(P.S. consumption must be controlled for patients with diabetes.)
3.
Manuka strengthens your immune system
Manuka Honey is rich in minerals and vitamins B, C and E. Working together, these substances help to strengthen support of your immune system.
4.
Manuka is sweet
With only 21 calories per teaspoon, Manuka Honey comes with a sweetening power higher than that of sugar. You only need a small amount to achieve the perfect sweetness while avoiding the negative effects of processed sugar and enjoying the benefits of honey. Sounds like perfection to us.
5.
Manuka moisturises
Manuka Honey can be great for your skin. With a regeneration capacity, it is rich in antioxidants, neutralising free radicals in your skin and may also assist in reducing premature ageing. Have you tried a home-made honey face mask yet?
6.
Manuka can exfoliate
Glowing skin, feeling good inside and out; what more could you want from Manuka Honey?! How about a body exfoliator? When combined with sugar or oats, honey works as a powerful body scrub. It’s no surprise that the cosmetic industry often adds Manuka Honey to its beauty products.
