Can Honey Beat The Winter Blues?

Honey to boost your energy:

Does your body feel fatigued at 3:00 pm each afternoon? Try mixing 1/2 tablespoon of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon in a glass of water. Your energy will increase within a week with daily intake. Or mix in a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to increase your circulation and help keep you warm during the winter months.

Honey moisturizes your skin:

Honey is also popular as a skin moisturizer. It has natural regenerative properties as well as antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Rub a little into the skin and leave it on for 10 minutes. You can even warm it up a bit for sensitive skin. Your skin immediately feels a refreshing, new softness in the texture. Or mix it with orange juice, mashed bananas and oatmeal to create a nourishing mask.
