Hey Honey

chocolatemousse May 19, 2016 Leave a Comment

Hey Honey

With Hay Fever season in full swing, many people are desperate to find relief from their allergy symptoms. Natural therapy is becoming a very popular choice of treatment. So why eat a “spoonful of sugar to help your medicine go down”, when just a daily spoonful of honey, could be your relief from those pesky spring allergies?

Eating local Honey works similar to a vaccination, by introducing small amounts of a virus or germ to the body and triggering an immune system response. This causes the production of antibodies designated to fight off the invaders. A daily dose of honey is like gradually vaccinating the body against allergens, a process called immunotherapy. Honey contains a variety of pollen spores that give allergy sufferers trouble when flowers and grasses are in bloom. Introducing these spores into the body in small amounts makes the body accustomed to their presence and decreases allergy symptoms.
Local honey is the best because it is produced by bees within a few miles of where you live. The proximity increases the chances that the varieties of flowering plants and grasses giving the allergy sufferer trouble are the same kinds the bees are including in their honey. After all, it wouldn’t help much if you ate honey with spores from a type of grass that grows in Michigan if you suffer from allergies in New York.
So, not only is Honey a treat for your taste buds, but it is good for you… and not just for your allergies. Honey offers incredible antiseptic, antioxidant and cleansing properties for your body, health, and skin care. From eye conjunctivitis to athletes foot, it’s powerful healing attributes have been used for thousands of years.
Honey, perhaps the tastiest natural medicine. Eating for health has never been sweeter.

There are hundreds of extremely nutritious and tasty options to choose from! So no matter what your preference is, there is always some fruits and veggies that are waiting to tickle your taste buds. Eat these super-healing picks and start feeling pretty super yourself.

Fruit and Veggie 101

Money Saving Tips

1- Create a weekly meal plan that uses the same fruits and vegetables, but prepared in different ways. 

2- Buy fruits and vegetables in season and at farmers’ markets or at your local grocery store.

3- Minimize waste, buying only the amounts you will eat.

4- Be creative! Enjoy your fruits and vegetables in different ways. Try baking apples or poaching pears with some cinnamon. Homemade soup is a healthy and tasty way to use vegetables. Smoothies and salsas are also a great use of produce.

5- Cut your fruits and vegetables at home. Pre-cut produce costs more than whole fruits and vegetables.

6- Pick your own at local farms. Late summer and early fall is a great time to pick your own. This is a fun and inexpensive way to buy in bulk.

7- To make fresh fruits and vegetables last longer, wash and dry after purchasing, then store them in the refrigerator or freezer.
