Even if you’re not a fan of bees, you have to give them credit for creating this liquid gold on earth. There are numerous benefits of honey.
Bees are responsible for one of the most sacred acts of nature: taking nectar from flowers and transforming it into honey, through interactions with enzymes in their saliva and digestion.
Not only is honey great for sweetening a cup of tea, but it also has some incredible properties that set it apart from all other food products.
A wonderful sugar substitute!!!
This golden liquid is significantly sweeter than table sugar (about 25% sweeter), meaning you’re satisfied with LESS. This can reduce the calories of your morning cup of tea, (but just add a drizzle).
Refined Sugar is higher on the glycemic index (GI) than honey, meaning it raises blood sugar levels more quickly. This is due to its higher fructose content, and the absence of trace minerals. However, honey has a lower glycemic carbohydrate, which means it enters your bloodstream more slowly and may not increase the blood sugar level than refined sugar does.
Nonetheless, it is high in sugar and calories so it should be taken into moderation to prevent adverse effects on your health.(EXCESS OF ANYTHING GOOD IS BAD)
Honey is the jackpot for all the health lovers out there. It contains all the nutrients, including water!!!
Honey, the sticky sweet liquid made by the busy bees is a pot full of vitamins, minerals, both enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants including ascorbic acid flavonoids(a powerful antioxidant agent) and alkaloids. Perfect food to increase your immunity.
Honey, “Nature’s healing potion”
Raw Honey has powerful antimicrobial properties making it good natural medicine. Taking honey for sore throats and colds, with or without the addition of lemon, will give you relief. It is also a natural antiseptic and can be used to help heal wounds and ulcers more quickly.
Eating honey can help you smarter!
It is the only food to contain ‘pinocembrin’ that is an antioxidant that improves brain function. This means that it has properties that protect the brain and nerve cells from damage. Pinocembrin also has anti-inflammatory properties. An anti-inflammatory agent works to reduce the amount of inflammation in the body.
Honey was part of Cleopatra’s daily beauty regime due to its ability to attract and retain moisture.
