Honey

HONEY


Honey is a much more superior to sugar or any artificial sweetener, because it contains anti-oxidants, iron, copper, manganese, potassium, enzymes, vitamin B6, Riboflavin, Omega-3 thiamine, niacin, pantothenic acid, certain amino acids, phosphorus, sodium, zinc and calcium. Honey is also a natural antibiotic and is beneficial for many health problems such as: - stomach ulcers and mouth ulcers, conjunctivitis, athletes foot, burns, sores, coughs, skin infections, cancer, liver dis-ease, constipation, sinusitis, hypertension, fluid retention, free radicals, asthma, heart dis-ease, tuberculosis, sore throat, diarrhoea and bronchitis.


Honey can be used topically for cuts, acne, wounds and burns, by applying it to piece of cotton and securing with tape to the wound. Honey will support the colon, spleen, lungs, spleen/pancreas, stomach, eyes, feet, the respiratory system, mouth and the immune system. It can also prevent colon cancer and lower blood pressure.

Honey’s antibacterial properties prevent infections and it works as an anti-inflammatory. It can also prevent scaring. Honey has a healthy Glycaemia Index (GI) which can be absorbed easily into the blood stream for better digestions. Honey is less of a strain on the pancreas to suddenly produce large amount of insulin. Honey is less likely to a have peeks and valleys in insulin\sugar cure.
Also with honey there is less likely of hypoglycaemia.

Buying pure honey can be very tricky. Some honey comes with sugar, corn syrup, corn starch, water, or other fillers, which means that it is not 100% pure.

Honey should be purchased from your local bee keeper. Eating one tablespoon of local organic honey and preferably raw, is a great health benefit for those with environmental allergies such as pollen.
