Manuka Honey
Why eat it: Manuka honey is a natural superfood and according to Hayley Marson, Rowse Manuka Honey nutritionist, its benefits include, ‘boosting energy levels, supporting your digestion, soothing a sore throat and helping ward off cold and flu symptoms – thanks to its antibacterial properties’, Plus, Manuka honey also has natural antioxidant properties, so a spoonful a day will keep pesky aging and cell damaging free radicals at bay.
How: Make sure you buy Manuka honey that has a UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) rating of 10 or more as this type is antibacterial and has an anti-inflammatory, so it’ll be hugely effective relieving sore throats and colds.
