TOP 5 AMAZING HEALTH BENEFITS OF HONEY

in #health7 years ago (edited)
  1. Helps prevent cancer and heart disease:
    Honey contains flavonoids, antioxidants which help reduce the risk of some cancers and heart disease.

  2. Reduces ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders:
    Recent research shows that honey treatment may help disorders such as ulcers and bacterial gastroenteritis. This may be related to the 3rd benefit…

3 Anti-bacterial and anti-fungal:
“All honey is antibacterial, because the bees add an enzyme that makes hydrogen peroxide,” said Peter Molan, director of the Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato in New Zealand. This contributes to the incredibly long shelf-life of honey.

4 Increases athletic performance:
Ancient Olympic athletes ate honey and dried figs to enhance their performance. This has now been verified with modern studies, showing that it is superior in maintaining glycogen levels and improving recovery time than other sweeteners.

5 Reduces cough and throat irritation:
Honey helps with coughs, particularly buckwheat honey. In a study of 110 children, a single dose of buckwheat honey was just as effective as a single dose of dextromethorphan in relieving nocturnal cough and allowing proper sleep.

Good post and upvoted, but you forgot to mention it will help you lose weight. Because it's a natural sugar, it helps break down stored sugar (fat).

Thanks for your post. I have been trying to decide if I was t to use honey or agave as a sweetener. I would love to hear your opinion on agave. Thanks again.
