Hey Foodies,
So it has LITERALLY been soooo long. I am talking all the way back since the top of this year was my last blog post. A lot has happened since then but I am so proud to say I am BACK and I thank and praise God because for a long time I lost the joy of being on this blog and social media.
With that being said we are already in August of 2023 and actually August has just one more day left! 🥴 The reason why I am sharing this blog post is because as a Holistic Nutritionist I am always looking for the natural alternatives to healing my body especially when I may not be feeling well. To back track, at the end of July my family and I took a trip to Miami. This was our first vacation trip in about almost 5 years! Then the same day we got home from that trip we got sick and found out we had Covid. Two weeks after that my son got sick again and then I got sick with bronchitis which I am still getting over but doing a lot better.
Usually when I get sick these days the first thing I pull out of my fridge is my Antibiotic Honey. I found out about this recipe about two years ago , but I have also added a few more ingredients that would pair well with it and is great for immunity. This antibiotic honey is great at the onset of any virus or cold. It helps me to combat sore throats , and congestion all while giving my immunity a boost.
The good news is that nature has provided us with incredible tools to keep our bodies healthy and resilient. All it takes is making mindful choices about the foods we consume.
One such natural powerhouse is honey. Not only does honey delight our taste buds, but it also possesses remarkable antiviral and antibacterial properties. If you’re looking for an immune system ally, honey should be at the top of your list. But that’s not all – there’s a lineup of supporting players that can help you fortify your defenses.
Ginger: Known for its ability to fight inflammation, ginger is a natural warrior against colds and flu. It brings both flavor and health benefits to the table, making it an essential addition to your immune-boosting arsenal.
Turmeric: Hailing from the same family as ginger, turmeric boasts anti-inflammatory properties. It’s not only a vibrant addition to your dishes but also an immune system booster. For maximum benefits, consider pairing it with a dash of black pepper to enhance its absorption.
Lemon: This zesty citrus fruit is a powerhouse of vitamin C, which plays a crucial role in supporting your immune system. Lemon not only adds tangy flavor to your beverages but also helps combat bacteria and supports the lymphatic system.
Oregano: With its natural ability to prevent infection, oregano is a true hero in the realm of immunity. Incorporating this herb into your meals can provide an extra layer of protection during cold and flu season.
Creating your own “antibiotic honey” concoction is as simple as combining these potent ingredients. Mix a spoonful of honey with a sprinkle of ginger, a pinch of turmeric (with a dash of black pepper), a squeeze of lemon, and a touch of oregano. Stir it all together to create a powerful elixir that not only nurtures your taste buds but also supports your body’s natural defense mechanisms.
As we navigate through these challenging times, let’s remember that nature has gifted us with an array of tools to stay well. By making conscious choices about the foods we consume, we can give our immune systems the boost they need to stay strong and resilient. Here’s to your health and well-being! 🍯🌿🍋 #ImmuneSystemBoost #NaturalWellness #Antibiotichoney
