However, one appears to crop up again and again.</p> <p>Manuka honey, a special variety produced in New Zealand and parts of Australia, is a superfood whose popularity just won't wane. You'll find it nestled up high on supermarket shelves, not just in corners of health food shops, and it has a wide variety of uses; a spoonful a day could just keep the doctor away. </p> <p>With no escape from coughs and sneezes, especially on our daily commutes on the packed tube or condensation-laden buses, the best way to tackle getting ill this winter is to try and prevent it in the first place. Manuka honey's uses spread beyond prevention, and can even help once illness has taken grip.</p> <p>Below, nutritionist Pixie Turner MSc looks at health benefits of Manuka honey.</p> <h2>1.

However, it's important to look out for a high quality Manuka honey, as these effects have only been found in Manuka with an MGO score of at least 300 or a UMF score of at least 10+, so make sure to check the label.</p> <h2>2. It's anti- inflammatory</h2> <p>Eating Manuka honey can lower the amount of inflammation in your body. This quality means it is perfect for sore throats. </p> <h2>3. It's an anti-oxidant</h2> <p>Manuka honey comes loaded with anti-oxidants, which benefits your health and boosts your energy levels. </p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image atom-align-undefined"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161110161553im_/https://static.standard.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/11/09/11/08-pharmacare-138-web-lands.jpg" width="564" height="376" alt="08-pharmacare-138-web-lands.jpg" title="08-pharmacare-138-web-lands.jpg"/></div></div><div class="dnd-caption-wrapper"><br/></div></div> <h2>4.
