Healing Foods: Honey

Today’s healing food is honey.

Honey is a highly effective antibiotic.  Do not give honey to infants under 1 year old because there is a danger of botulism.

Honey may help with:

 Stomach ulcers

 Burns

 Skin infections

 Coughs

 Cancer

 Allergies

 Constipation

 Hypertension

 Heart disease

 Liver disease

 Tuberculosis

 Athlete's foot

 Sore throat

 Bronchitis

 Diarrhea

 Asthma

I also try to cook with honey whenever possible.  In many recipes, I substitute honey for sugar.  If you do this, use about half the amount of honey as you would sugar because honey is so much sweeter.

HEALING FOODS: BANANAS

God has given us many foods to enjoy.  Not only do they make our taste buds sing, many of them heal our bodies of various ailments.  


Today's healing food is bananas.  Here are just a few things bananas can help with:
*diarrhea
*cholesterol
*prevention of pancreatic cancer
*stomach upset
*has antibiotic activity


While most people can enjoy bananas on a regular basis, there are a few people who have unpleasant side effects from eating bananas.  Bananas can cause gas in some people and also migraine headaches in a few.  

One of my favorite ways to eat bananas is in a smoothie.  Here's an easy recipe.

FRUIT SMOOTHIE

1 cup juice (I like orange)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 banana

1/2 container vanilla yogurt
