HONEY This
Organic Honey made in Valchiusella, a valley immersed in woodland and nestled
at the foothills of the Italian Alps.
Here lives a group of people in a community,
'la Fraternita' di Lessolo', run by Carmelitan monks who set up a cooperative
that sell produce from their farm. This delicious honey comes from their work.
Made with care. |

This
is a completely natural product that is not contaminated with traces of antibiotics
and chemicals used to treat crops.
This is Raw Honey:
This
means that it is not pasteurised, unlike almost all supermarket honey, and it
is not ultra filtered,
a process that removes most of the pollen.
The
raw honey will still contain pollen, wax and propolis (this is a
residue mixture that bees collect from tree buds and saps,
the bees use it
to mend small holes in the hive).
This is because raw honey is left untreated
which means it is not heated through or strained.
Raw honey is widely considered
to provide greater health benefits retaining all the vitamins, enzymes
and minerals
from the flower.

USE
HONEY
1) As an internal anti bacterial aid for your family to soothe sore
throats and stomach infections through honey drinks.
2)
Naturally Increase Antioxidants
Antioxidant's are important to the
human immune system and help keep us healthy. Put simply antioxidants help us
combat the effect of a process called oxidation which impacts on our DNA and can
lead to illness. In fact oxidation contributes towards the ageing process. Consumed
every day a small amount of honey can naturally increase the antioxidant factor
in the bloodstream which in turn helps deal with all those nasty free radicals
which cause oxidation.
Unique to honey is pinocembrin, an antioxidant associated
with improved brain functioning.
3)
Digestion Aid Honey
breaks down quickly in the stomach and is easily digested it is also believed
to aid the metabolic rate.
As well as impacting on weight taking it like this
can also aid ones digestion, which in turn contributes your over all feeling of
well being.
4) Low level of Blood sugar
Honey is low on the
glycemic index, it does not cause the blood sugar to shoot up, but allows a much
healthier gradual increase in blood sugar levels. It's a natural sweetener that
is twice as sweet as refined sugar but doesn't give you the energy spike that
refined sugar does.
