Many mums are trying to be healthy in the run up to Christmas, whether it’s to slip into a sexy Christmas dress, or so they don’t feel guilty about pigging out over the festive season. According to statistics, only one in six women stick to a new regime once they’ve started, so although we have so many good intentions, many of us give up pretty quickly.
An easy way to get healthy is by incorporating lots of natural and unprocessed foods into your diet. We recommend you add New Zealand Honey Co’s range of honeys into your diet. This deliciously sweet honey is a kitchen cupboard essential that improves your metabolism, but is also great for curbing those sugar cravings. MummyPages tried out these honeys and they really stopped us from reaching for the chocolates at break time! When eaten regularly, these honeys can help improve overall well being.
If you are increasing your exercise time in the lead up to Christmas, adding one teaspoon of New Zealand Honey Co’s Beech Forest Honeydew Honey in your porridge is a great way to give your energy levels a boost (essential for tired mums who cannot bear the thought of exercising). With a pre-biotic rating of 20+, it is one of the highest rated pre-biotic honeys in the world, keeping your digestive system in shape. The honey feeds the good bacteria in the gut which neutralises harmful toxins and increases the absorption of nutrients.
If you have switched to green tea to cleanse your system, try adding a spoon of New Zealand Honey Co’s Thyme Honey to sweeten things up. Not only does it taste great, but the honey boosts the natural antioxidant level in the tea by up to five times!
New Zealand Honey Co’s range of honeys are available from Holland & Barrett. Both the Beech Forest Honeydew Honey and Thyme Honey are £9.99 each.
