Manuka Honey earns its place in our super food wall of fame owing to the amazing health and fitness benefits it gives you. Most honeys (apart from ‘hip hop hunnies’) are good for you, but Manuka takes the royal crown.
Here are 5 great reasons why you should be grabbing yourself a jar of Manuka Honey…
1 The common cold
Skip the flu jab, Manuka honeys immune-boosting characteristics help make it a wonderful pro-active solution to an extremely common problem. Just two to three teaspoons every day will keep those bothersome winter blues in check. Just in case you’ve already come down with a nasty virus, then a lovely hot drink of water with a teaspoon of Manuka Honey will have you feeling chipper in next to no time.
A superb alternative to conventional treatments without the horrible side effects!
2 Making IBS way less Irritating!
If you are afflicted with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) then I certainly won’t have to sell you on this one. Laboratory experiments have shown that Manuka Honey (taken orally) can reduce colonic inflation and defend against structural damage. And we are all aware just how important it is to have a happy colon!
3 An All Natural Cough Treatment
Have you noticed the number of over the counter cough syrups are honey flavoured? There’s a good reason for this, honey contains hydrogen peroxide. However, Manuka Honey works much better, not only due to its unusually high levels of hydrogen peroxide, but because it also contains numerous bioactive substances that are missing from lesser honeys.

Laboratory tests demonstrate that Manuka Honey contains properties the are able to enhance the production of cytokine. These essential proteins help to support a more healthy immune response inside the body.
This, coupled with the high nutritional value of Manuka honey makes it a powerhouse for enhancing the immune system, helping to protect you from diseases and also keeping the body’s most vital system in perfect condition.
