Pomegranate is one of the most powerful antioxidants. Green Tea is right up there too. The list of healing properties with both are very long.

When I make Green Tea I use 3 bags in a tea press and add a good amount of honey.

I found this interesting discussion on Healing with Honey

Honey is the combination of nectar — secretions from the flowers of some plants — and other sweet plant deposits that are gathered and modified by honeybees.

The ancient Egyptians used honey as an embalming material and treated cuts and burns with it. The Greek physician Hippocrates cured skin disorders with honey, and the Romans cleaned wounds with it. Even as recently as World War I, doctors treated wounds with honey. With the advent of antibiotics, honey fell out of use for its healing properties, but scientific research is now rediscovering honey’s natural healing power.

Researchers in New Zealand found that honey actually killed a number of highly contagious antibiotic-resistant viruses (“superbugs”) such as multiple-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). The team showed that “honey killed 100 different strains of methicillin-resistant MRSA…” While this looks promising for scientists, health care, and hospital workers, the New Zealand team has not yet identified the powerful antimicrobial agent they believe to be in honey.

In a study published last month, University of Illinois researchers say that honey may act as a dietary antioxidant. In other words, chemicals found in honey could help rid the blood of toxins or harmful substances.

Honey is a little expensive but I use it daily anyway.

Pomegranates are a little tricky when it comes to getting the seeds out but my method gets it done in a couple minutes. Just cut it in half then into wedges. Use a fork to flip the pomegranate seeds into a bowl. I just eat that as is with a spoon but it occurs to me next time I will try them with honey on them.

Even if you have this once in a day as a snack you will be helping the healing power of your body. If you wanted to have this a few to even several times in a day you would only add to the results.

I lean toward having a daily detox diet that is not too extreme so am planning to devour a bunch of those little grape tomatoes as my next food event.

Thank you for reading.
