Five reasons why you should start the school year with honey!

Down with the viruses!

After the summer break, children are suddenly back in the community, where viral and bacterial infections spread easily. They also spend more time indoors, which also helps the spread of pathogens. You can effectively fight germs with just one spoonful of honey, as its antibacterial properties help prevent the growth of bacteria and contribute to avoiding infections. The trace elements and vitamins in it help maintain a healthy immune system. Acacia honey is particularly ideal for immune strengthening, due to its many beneficial effects.

Improves concentration

The first of September means that you have to go back to school, but it is not easy for the brain to get back into the daily routine. Children can concentrate for a maximum of 20-30 minutes, often 45 minutes tire the brain. The antioxidants in honey help to reduce the harmful effects caused by free radicals, thus curbing the deterioration of memory, among other things. In addition, honey contains B vitamins and important minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium, which are crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system and maintaining concentration.

A spoonful of energy

According to a survey, 10% of high school and middle school students consume energy drinks on a daily basis, which can cause heart rhythm disorders, high blood pressure, insomnia and headaches. To maintain energy levels, it is worth offering them a natural and healthy alternative. A spoonful of mixed flower honey boosts your energy level almost immediately! It contains fast-absorbing carbohydrates like glucose and fructose, which are the brain’s main energy sources. Fatigue can be easily overcome due to the natural sugars in it! It is worth grabbing a spoonful in the morning to start the day energetically, and also for a snack so that the child can refill his energy stores before the afternoon workouts.

Stress-free everyday life

Almost half of the children experience excessive stress at school, which is often accompanied by physical symptoms. However, whether your day will be really stressful is not decided at school, it can be determined much more by your morning routine! Make him a light breakfast, make him a cup of tea with honey – and help him plan his day! Glucose, fructose and B vitamins in honey have a calming effect, reduce nervous tension and support stress management.

Against stomach ailments

In this period of life, children would need adequate nutrients, yet many schoolchildren eat incomplete and unhealthy meals. An inadequate diet can lead to regular stomach ailments, but it can also be treated naturally! Honey has a beneficial effect on the digestive system, helps in the treatment of gastritis and can be effective even if the child has outdone himself.

“Honey provides a wide range of help in everyday life, which are essential for health. So honey is not just for tea! Let’s think of it as a gift of nature and a natural helper at the beginning of the autumn period.”
