Eating honey for sore throat is also widely known. It relieves the inflamed and irritated area and reduces coughing.
Honey has a high content of antioxidants, which stimulate the immune system, especially if you add a little lemon as well. So during the winter months, when colds run rampant, consuming honey and products derived from it can be of great benefit to health.

If the stress and pressure are becoming too much for you, you can't go wrong eating a spoonful of honey. It calms the nervous system and helps you enjoy a more relaxing evening.

An interesting application of honey is in the battle against that annoying hangover. Honey contains natural sugars which aid the liver in processing the alcohol.
