is honey good for you or not that's what
we're talking about today hi I'm Robin
Openshaw
I am the green smoothie girl and today I
want to talk to you a little bit about
honey is it good for you or isn't it
I'll tell you it's one of the most
important things in my food storage here
in Utah everybody puts away a year
supply of food okay when Armageddon
comes all you're gonna come here aren't
you and one of the things that I like
about honey is that it lasts forever it
literally does not go bad but I solved
my issues with seasonal allergies many
years ago when I read that in raw honey
and raw is very very important here
don't buy cooked honey and guess what a
lot of suppliers who say that their
honey is raw they've actually heat
treated it so on my blog I'm sharing
with you where I get my raw unfiltered
honey with all of the health benefits
it's starting to become clear that
there's some kind of homeopathic
property to raw honey as the bees fly
around and pollinate different plants it
acts as sort of a homeopathic that gives
us that minor exposure to these pollens
I had read that I started using raw
honey just a little bit every day in a
peanut butter sandwich or a little bit
in my green smoothie or I made this
halva candy which I'm sharing the recipe
for you right here on my blog but I love
that my family's seasonal allergies
disappeared from the use of raw honey
now that's not a claim and I'm not going
to tell you that that will happen for
you it's what happened for me and it
made me a believer another thing that's
kind of crazy is one time I went to a
friend's house for dinner and she asked
me to help make the gravy well I don't
know how to make gravy and so I pressed
the button on the blender and this
boiling gravy flew out of the top of the
blender and it got all over me and I had
third-degree burns all over my arm so I
went home and I had read that raw honey
is a great way to get rid of a burn to
take the sting out of it and to help it
heal quickly I covered my arm with raw
honey and I wrapped it in a Spanish
aside did this and reapplied each day
for a couple of days and you can see I
have no
gars so raw honey is really high in some
immune stimulating properties like bee
pollen and it has lots of minerals it is
high in sugars you don't want to eat a
lot of it
but it does have some wonderful health
properties and I'm really glad to link
you to some friends of ours who have
their own hives and they will get you
truly raw unfiltered honey so make sure
