Improves Kidney Health
Kidney health is an essential and often overlooked aspect of overall health. Kidneys filter excess water, minerals, and electrolytes from our blood. If the kidneys aren’t functioning correctly, a person can experience various symptoms like fatigue and nausea.
Fortunately, there’s some evidence that manuka honey may benefit the kidneys. In a study published in 2016 in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary Alternative Medicine, researchers found that consuming manuka honey reduced kidney stone formation by almost half.
It also improved markers of chronic kidney disease (CKD), including blood pressure control and albuminuria levels (albumin is a protein found in urine). This suggests regular consumption of manuka honey may help prevent CKD from developing into full-blown chronic kidney failure.
