It’s that time of year when the office sniffles start doing the rounds again. From now until March there’s bound to be someone in your vicinity not feeling their best so it’s up to you to protect yourself!
Luckily, this month Real Health have launched their 100% pure MGO 1 rated Australian Manuka honey – a completely natural honey packed to the brim with health benefits. The antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti-viral properties make it ideal for immunity and digestive balance support.
It’s 100% raw and unblended insuring its natural health benefits remain as pure and wholesome as the day the bees created it. It has a golden runny consistency showing that, unlike many other similar products, it has not been overly heated, processed, or artificially boosted.
Manuka honey is made only from flowers from the Leptospermum tree more commonly known as the Tea Tree plant, native to Australia. This is naturally more potent, sometimes three times as more, than that of New Zealand so it’s worth checking the jar before you buy. The higher the MGO level the more potent the honey. Simple.
We love starting our day with a smoothie and have started adding a big spoonful of honey to it each morning. Here’s our go to recipe….
