(Helpful Tip) Take care of your family's health with sweet honey

Our family consumes a variety of honey throughout all four seasons.

 

Today, I would like to share a health tip using honey that is good for your body.

 

My husband has to drink honey water every morning due to frequent company dinners, my middle school son is tired from studying and I give him a spoonful of honey after school, and my youngest loves honey so much that he secretly squeezes and eats it freely.

  

 

I also love honey very much, so I often mix it with water and drink it.

 

Honey water contains various minerals and vitamins in large amounts, and it is said to be good for health when mixed with lukewarm water and consumed on an empty stomach in the morning.

 

 

Usually, we seek honey water the day after drinking alcohol to relieve hangover symptoms, but it also has many benefits for boosting our body's energy and improving health.

 

 

The day before yesterday, my biological mother sent me two bottles of honey by courier, saying it was really precious native honey.

The taste and aroma are exceptional.

 

 

 

The honey jar is too large, and I feel that bacteria might enter every time I use a spoon. So I store it in a small tube and use it conveniently in everyday life.

 

Now, I will learn in detail about the benefits of honey water.

 

 

1. Immunity
