The benefits of honey are unlimited. It is a cure for cough and catarrh. Apart from that, it helps to maintain proper digestion, healthy skin, and it boosts immunity. A lot of people that appreciate the benefits of honey use it daily.
However, there are people with busy lifestyles, who only consider honey a cool product kept in the pantry for occasional use. There are lots of advantages associated with regular intake of honey. Are you aware of the fact that honey intake can be of great help to you if you are facing conditions like hair loss or sleeplessness? Also, it helps to fight weight loss and treat hangovers. To enjoy the full benefit of honey, it is essential you incorporate it into your routine diet. Here are five ways you can use honey in your food:
Honey lemonade
You must have heard about the importance of taking honey with warm lemon water first thing in the morning. If you haven’t, the advantage of hot lemon with honey is that it helps cleanse the stomach, as it has been discovered to contain a mixture of pectin and fiber. Apart from that, it prevents you from cravings thereby increasing your chances of losing weight. You can also consider the option of taking it as a healthy drink during the day if you don't like to make it in the morning.
Honey tea
You can always add honey to your tea instead of stuffing it with sugar. Honey is perfect for your black tea, green tea, and many others. The constituents of honey are fructose, glucose, potassium, magnesium, iron, and many other useful minerals; making it far more nutritious than just a cube of pure table sugar.
Dressing and marinades
Honey pairs well with your salad dressing, and it can work as a marinade for different kinds of meats and fishes.
Honey desserts
You can replace sugar with honey in cakes, custards, and cookies. Apart from that, honey can serve as a topping for your snack-related foods like honey sandwiches, bacon and honey, pancakes with honey, and many others.
Honey and milk
You can make it a bedtime habit if you may - taking a glass of warm milk with a spoonful of honey every night before you sleep. Nothing relaxes you more than this. Studies show that honey contains some rare sugar forms that stimulate the production of sleep aiding chemicals in the brain, soothing you down in the process.
Ask your doctor about more health benefits of using honey and consider changing up your diet for the better.

Kyung Kim
Hi, I'm Kyung Kim. I immigrated from South Korea to the United States in 1968 when I was 7 years old. I have seen my mom struggle with the English language and work hard to raise her four kids by herself. Still to this day, I don't know how she pulled it off, but she bought her first home in 1979 for $70,000 and because of that decision, she was able to live without worrying about her financial future. I want that for everyone, to feel the pride of home ownership and to build their financial wealth using real estate as part of their financial portfolio. I feel so blessed to play a small role in helping others reach this goal.
I live in Beaverton with my husband, Richard. My mom, who lived with us for several years, passed away in our home in February 2022. Her first home purchase in 1979 made it possible for her to live to the very end, without worrying about her finances. As of August 2022 with a little downpayment assistance, our four children own their own homes. Being in real estate, I quickly realized that if they didn't buy now, they may be priced out of the market in the future. Whether that would have been the case, we will never know, but what we do know is that they are all realizing some good, healthy appreciation in their home values.
As passionate as I am about people owning their homes, I'm also passionate about giving back to our community. I support Compassion First, a non-profit organization that provides aftercare for sex trafficked girls in Indonesia. My husband and I also feel called to financially support social injustice organizations.
I'd love to assist you. Whether you're in the research phase at the beginning of your real estate search or you know exactly what you're looking for, you'll benefit from having a real estate professional by your side. I'd be honored to put my real estate experience to work for you.
