The Many Benefits Of Pure Raw Honey

By Joyce Collins


There are some types of food that has been treasured by mankind over all the ages. The special syrup produced by bees is most certainly on near the top of this list. This food has been described as miraculous. In fact, it is the only type of food known to man that cannot rot. It can be eaten safely even after thousands of years have passed. Pure raw honey is most certainly one of the most valuable super foods available to society today.

There is almost no end to the list of benefits offered by this marvellous food. It has many nutritional benefits, it is a treasured ingredient of cosmetics, it is used in many medical applications and it even boast some psychological benefits. Of course, it is delicious too and in most places it is available everywhere. But, says experts, not all products on sale are completely natural.

Experts warn, however, that some suppliers add preservatives, totally without reason, and flavouring agents to their products. These should be avoided because this syrup does not need any help or augmentation. At the very worst it will crystallize, but the application of gentle heat will restore it to its previously pristine condition. When buying it it is important to read the label and to make sure that it is pure.

There seems to be no end to the health benefits offered by honey. It is not possible to overdose on this product. It is an excellent natural antibiotic without the nasty side effects of chemical versions. It has strong anti inflammatory and anti fungal abilities and it can even be used to cure sore throats. In addition, the fact that it is so rich in antioxidants means that it helps to fight potentially harmful free radical in the body.

Sugar is well known as one of the big culprits in efforts to achieve effective weight control. This syrup, though sweet, does not cause fat. In fact, it helps to lower the blood sugar level, increase metabolism and it even helps to suppress the appetite. It provides energy for much longer periods than sugar does. It is not only a very efficient anti allergen but it also helps the immune system to function at optimum levels.

However, most people do not use honey for the benefits that it offers. It is extremely versatile and can be used in cooking, it can replace sugar in recipes, it can be mixed with a variety of substances such as chillies to produce extraordinary sauces and it can even be used as an environmentally friendly way in which to entice bothersome insects such as ants away from the home.

Unfortunately, bee populations all over the world are rapidly declining. Environmentalists and scientists say this can be ascribed to urbanization, human ignorance and climate change. It has even been said that the very future of the planet depends upon the survival of the bee. Bees are, without a doubt, an extremely important component of any healthy eco system. They play numerous vital roles and the production of honey is just one of them.

One wonders why so many people call their loved ones honey. Maybe it is an instinctive reference to the very high regard that this substance enjoys. It is healthy, tasty and even desirable. It is mysterious and it is not easy to harvest.
