Hello there! Today, I want to share how honey helps keep me healthy. In the Philippines, many people use honey for different home remedies and tasty treats. It’s a bit like a sweet secret weapon!
A Soothing Treat for My Throat
Whenever I feel a little tickle in my throat, I mix warm water or ginger tea (salabat) with a spoonful of honey. It helps me feel better because honey has natural soothing qualities. It’s also super yummy!
An Energy Booster
Sometimes, when I’m feeling tired, I put honey in my breakfast oats or pancakes. It gives me a boost of natural energy. Instead of using sugar, I love using honey because it has vitamins and enzymes that can be good for my body.
A Filipino Home Remedy
My grandma taught me that honey can help with small cuts and scrapes. She’d dab a bit on a clean bandage (if we didn’t have medicine available) because honey can help keep the spot clean. Of course, for serious wounds, we still visit the doctor—but it’s neat to see how honey can help!
Healthy Tummy, Happy Me
Honey can also help with digestion. Sometimes after eating, I take a spoonful of honey with calamansi juice in warm water. It feels light and refreshing, and I think it helps my tummy digest food better.
A Spoonful of Care
Even though honey has many good things in it, I remember not to eat too much—it’s still sweet, after all! A small spoonful every day can go a long way. Plus, I make sure to buy pure, local honey to support Filipino beekeepers who work hard to keep the bees healthy.
That’s all for Day 8! I hope you learned a thing or two about how honey can help with our health here in the Philippines. Tomorrow, we’ll explore even more sweet ideas to keep us feeling good. Stay sweet, and take care!
P.S. What’s your favorite way to use honey to feel better? I’d love to hear your ideas!
