Petruccelli L.T.D of North America asks; What are some super foods to help keep me healthy in winter? (6)



Petruccelli L.T.D of North America says;  Have a cut or burn to mend? Manuka honey is an excellent salve. Antibacterial features promote wound healing and tissue regeneration. Manuka is also anti-fungal -- a potent treatment for ring worm and athletes foot. Likewise, many claim that manuka honey does not inflame internal fungal disorders like Candida albicans. Gum disease? Surprisingly, research has found that manuka reduces plaque and bacteria in the mouth when rubbed onto the gums. Sick with the flu? Manuka is a superstar here too. A study in Spain discovered compounds in honey that destroy the influenza virus. What's more, manuka has been shown to aid weight loss, heal bladder infections, ease indigestion, soothe a sore throat, relieve arthritis, quiet an upset stomach and foster longevity.
