NUTRITION: Local Honey

“They Say…” Local Honey (from beekeepers or honey producers in your area) can help boost your immune system, fight seasonal allergies, support local small businesses, and give you all the other benefits from honey!

The reason why they say to by local honey for season allergies is for the reason that the bees in your area are busy pollinating all the flowers and plants in your area (many of which cause you allergies in the spring, fall and summer!). Taking the honey as a supplement or diet staple can help build your immunity to local allergens! AMAZING isn’t it?! What are you waiting for? Go grab some!
(Important Note: Do not give a baby honey. Children under one year cannot have honey because they’re systems cannot break it down yet! Research this more or ask your physician if you have questions!)
