On today’s program Niskata with presenter Angela Agius I talked about the benefits of exercise. Exercise is not only important to lose weight but also to maintain a healthy heart. And a healthy heart can also reduce the signs of ageing 
I mentioned how Agave syrup is not the ideal sweetener and its’ intake should be limited since it is high in fructose. Fructose is metabolized in the liver and with high consumption it can become overloaded leading to a fatty liver, high triglycerides and an increase in LDL (the bad cholesterol). It can also lead to weight gain.
Manuka honey is a better alternative since it has anti-bacterial effects and boosts the immune system which prevents us from getting sick. However, it is still sugar, so we should limit our intake.
I have included a recipe for an immune booster using Manuka honey. Add all the ingredients in a jar and if you start feeling sick, or with a sore throat, take one tablespoon and add some warm water to it.
Manuka honey can be bought from Holland and Barrett Malta
