For many women, menopause comes with discomforts: hot flashes, mood swings, irritability or fatigue. Without replacing medical advice, honey can find a gentle, delicious place in a balanced diet during this period.
How can honey support you during menopause?
Natural honey contains antioxidants, enzymes and trace elements. It can replace white sugar in your teas and herbal infusions, and add a touch of sweetness to your breakfast. As it is still rich in sugars, enjoy it in moderation: one tablespoon a day is enough to benefit from it.
Which honey to choose depending on the season?
Every honey has its own character. In winter, Eucalyptus Honey and Miele di Niaouli with their strong, woody taste, are traditionally enjoyed during the cold season. In summer, milder and fruitier honeys, such as cactus, pink peppercorn or lychee honey, are perfect for sunny days.
The other everyday benefits of honey
Whatever the variety, a natural, unheated honey keeps all its richness. To make the most of it, add it to a warm rather than boiling drink, and choose a raw honey with a traceable origin.
