HONEY:
Honey
has been valued as a natural sweetener long before sugar became widely
available in the 16th century. Honey production flourished in ancient Greece
and Sicily, for instance, while animals other than humans – bears, badgers, and
more – have long raided honeybee hives, risking stings for the sweet reward.
Honey
is truly a remarkable substance, made even more extraordinary by the process
with which it is made. This blend of sugar, trace enzymes, minerals, vitamins,
and amino acids is quite unlike any other sweetener on the planet.
And
while honey is high in fructose, it has many health benefits when used in
moderation (assuming you’re healthy). Before I delve into those, here’s a brief
“lesson” on how honey is made.
HEALTH BENEFITS: HONEY
1.Honey makes excellent cough “Medicine”.
The World Health Organization (WHO)
Lists honey as a demulcent, which is a substance that relieves irritation in
your mouth or throat by forming a protective film.
2.Honey can treat wounds.
Honey was a conventional therapy in
fighting infection up until the early 20th century, at which time
its use slowly vanished with the advent of pencillin. Now the use of honey in
wound care is determining exactly how honey can help serious skin infections.
3.Honey improves your scalp
Honey diluted with a bit of warm water
was shown to significantly improve seborrheic dermatitis, which is scalp
condition that causes dandruff and itching. After applying the solution every
other day for four weeks, "all of the patients responded markedly."
According to the researchers.
