Honey Foot Recipes - Honey Skin Care

 Honey foot recipes are just a few of the honey skin care recipes. They could easily become a regular part of foot pedicure routine. Honey is a natural antiseptic that cleanses the skin deeply while keeping in check any possible inflammations and infections.


Your feet bear your weight day in and day out. Your feet can also feel stressed out and tired. When pampering your feet, you can opt for honey foot recipes, recipes for a natural pedicure which helps in elimination of the accumulated toxins and rejuvenation of feet.


This pedicure uses honey in all stages. The honey that you use should be organic and produced locally for best effects. (Vegans can skip on the honey or opt for a little organic agave nectar.)

Peaches Anti-Cancer

Peaches are good for you because they are a source of vitamins A and C and they are a good source of fiber especially with the peal. Peaches are also a good source of potassium and contain some calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and folate. Though low in calories—one cup of sliced peaches has only 60 calories—and composed of 80 percent water, peaches are packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids. The dose of fiber in peaches acts as a gentle laxative, aids digestion, and may also help combat cancer.  Peaches is rich in cancer-fighting vitamin A in the form of beta carotene,  as well as the immune-boosting vitamin C, which also protects against heart disease. Rich in iron and potassium, peaches help ensure proper functioning of cells, the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body, and nerve signaling.  Lutein and zeaxanthin —two carotenoids found in peaches—help guard against blindness caused by age-related macular degeneration.
