It’s Week 14 of Lakewood Community Acupuncture sharing the Be Better Movement challenges (learn more about their mission at bebetter.com). This week’s challenge is to eat honey (specifically raw local honey). Benefits of Honey: Honey is a natural source of carbohydrates, which provides our bodies with instant energy and strength. When it comes to athletic performance, honey improves endurance and plays a key role in preventing fatigue during exercise. Honey has antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Honey helps make your digestive system run smoothly and keeps you healthy and free from many diseases. The antibacterial qualities are especially helpful for moisturizing and nourishing the skin. Locally grown, raw honey contains immune-stimulating properties that help our bodies adapt to our environment. This means honey can boost your immune system. Although honey contains simple sugars, ironically, it also helps regulate blood sugar. Honey’s combination of fructose and glucose aids the body in regulating blood-sugar levels. #eathoney #beehealthy #bebetter52 #mondaymotivation #challengeaccepted #lakewoodcommunityacupuncture (at Lakewood Community Acupuncture) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvtmphzFuET/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bwynocip2iig
