Honey in the morning...

Hi

I have been trying one teaspoon of good, natural honey in warm water every morning and it seems to reduce by bloating and also helps in toilet routine.

I have using this method for the last 2 months. Initially, years ago, I have tried honey and it made my stomach worse. So when someone told me to try natural honey I was a little skeptical. Anyway, my routine in the morning consist of honey drink and 3 scoops of natural yogurt before I have my breakfast.

My research indicates that honey lines the intestinal track before a meal. (I drink this first before my breakfast). Honey also protects the intestinal track.

I have to say that you have to take good honey, not cheap ones where they mixed with sugar.

I have also tried hot tea with honey. And when you have stomach pains, this drink helps quite a bit.



I found this tip how to tell if honey is adultrerated. 
Emmanuel Olagbaju from Nigeria provided these tips on how to distinguish pure from adulterated honey:

1. Dip your finger into the liquid. As you lift your finger out, observe whether the substance drops immediately - if it does drop straightaway, then it is not pure honey. (Honey is very viscous).

2. Drop some liquid to the ground and observe. Pure honey does not flatten, but forms small balls: if the liquid does otherwise it is not pure honey.

3. Drop liquid into water and observe. If it sinks without mixing with the water it is pure honey, otherwise it is adulterated.

4. Dip a matchstick into the liquid and then strike the match. If it ignites the substance is pure honey, otherwise it is adulterated or fake.
