The health benefits of tea and honey

In fact, honey and tea have many common points, let’s review together…

Antibacterial effect. The antibacterial activity of tea is recognized; honey has the same effect! In 2014, a research team from India announced that tea and honey have very strong antibacterial activities against Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium causing stomach ulcer and gastric cancer. It can be mentioned more specifically that honey has a stronger ability than tea to inhibit this bacterium.

In practice: Drinking two glasses of hot black tea in the morning and evening can effectively prevent people from getting infected by H. pylori bacteria; drinking 100 ml of honey water each day can also inhibit bacterial growth; those who are prone to infections must be more careful with their choice of honey!

Wounds heal faster with honey than with commercial wound ointments or salt water.

Recent studies indicate that wounds treated with honey have a faster healing speed than those treated by commercial wound ointments or saline solution. In the study published in the International Journal of Dermatology in January 2013, they found that wounds were healed even more quickly when fresh juice from lilies was added to manuka honey: the wound area decreased at an average pace of 42 square millimeters per day.

Diet For Diverticulitis: What To Eat And What To Avoid

The diet for diverticulitis should be started with clear, easily digestible liquids such as chicken broth, strained and blended fruit juices, coconut water and gelatin. At the beginning, this type of food should be used because it is necessary to calm the intestine, keep it at rest and prevent or reduce the formation of stool. Diverticulitis crises arise when the diverticula of the colon, which are abnormal pouches that form in the wall of the intestine, become inflamed or infected and cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and constipation. For this reason the foods to be consumed should be easy to digest and low in fiber.  Once the diverticulitis crisis improves, the diet also adapts from a liquid diet to a pureed diet, until solid foods are consumed again. From then on, it is important to increase the consumption of foods rich in fiber and water, thus avoiding the possibility of another crisis.  What to eat during a diverticulitis crisis At the onset of a diverticul...
