Save Yourself From Allergy Season Even if You're Allergy-Free

July 2024 · 2 minute read

The answer to why we all should eat honey made only in the state we live in is quite simply because it's the healthiest way to go, especially when it comes to allergies. Even if you don't have allergies, building your immune system goes a long way to fight off most ickiness.

This is why eating honey daily or weekly as just part of life is so important.

Honey made in your state builds your immune system to not only fight your current allergies but future allergies even if you don't have allergies.

This is because your body changes. It also helps you fight off the cold and flu. Local honey is a defense against local and regional allergens since you're ingesting pollen from your surroundings.

According to Healthline.com, this means you become less sensitive to your surrounding elements, and that in turn means better sleep, too. Local honey is a superfood because of those powerful antioxidants made from the plants and vegetation you're around daily. And they change seasonally as you know.

It's all thanks to bees of course according to the Farmer's Almanac. Local bees make your local honey using the pollen they collect and bring back to their hive from the very plants that vary from state to state as well as regionally.

According to Tom's Maine Honey, it's a win-win.

In addition to potentially fighting allergies, one of the great benefits of local honey is that it’s unprocessed and pure. The stuff you find in the grocery stores is often filtered, a process that removes the trace amounts of pollen it might contain. The purer the honey, the stronger its medicinal benefits, like potential anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
