\u201cNATURAL RAW HONEY\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Honey has been used by countless cultures all around the world over the past 2,500 years. While the numerous health benefits of honey have made it an important element of traditional medicines such as Ayurvedic treatments, scientists are also researching its benefits in relation to modern medicine, particularly in the healing<\/a><\/u> of wounds.<\/p>\n

It is known as Honig<\/em> in German, Miele<\/em> in Italian, Shahad<\/em> in Hindi, Miel<\/em> in French and Spanish, Mel<\/em> in Portuguese, \u043c\u0435\u0434<\/em> in Russian, Honing<\/em> in Dutch, and \u03bc\u03b5\u03bb\u03b9<\/em> in Greek; there is almost no part in the world where honey is not widely used and celebrated as a part of the cultural diet.<\/p>\n

But what makes honey so popular? Most likely, it is the ease with which it can be consumed. One can eat it directly, put it on bread like a jam, mix it with juice or any drink<\/a><\/u> instead of sugar<\/a><\/u>, or mix it with warm water, lime<\/a><\/u> juice, cinnamon, and other herbs<\/a><\/u> to make a medicine. It is savored by all due to its taste as well as health benefits, making it extremely useful and versatile.<\/p>\n

Health Benefits of Honey:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Its benefits include the following treatments, taken from both traditional and modern medical experts.<\/p>\n

Healthy Sweetener<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It can be used as a substitute for sugar in many foods<\/a><\/u> and drinks. It contains about 69% glucose and fructose, enabling it to be used as a sweetener which is far better for your overall health than normal white sugar. The National<\/a><\/u> Honey Board refers to honey as a pantry staple.<\/p>\n

Weight Loss<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Though it has more calories than sugar\u00a0when consumed with warm water, honey helps in digesting the fat stored in your body. Similarly, honey with lemon<\/a><\/u> juice or cinnamon helps in reducing weight.<\/p>\n

Provides Better Sleep<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2012 a research was conducted on 300 children of age 1 to 5 years\u00a0to find out the effect of honey on nocturnal cough and sleep<\/a><\/u> quality. The\u00a0results published in the\u00a0Pediatrics Journals<\/a><\/u> showed that honey could be a preferable treatment\u00a0for a cough and sleep difficulty associated with childhood upper respiratory tract infections (URIs).<\/p>\n

Boosts Energy<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

According to the USDA<\/a><\/u>, honey contains about 64 calories per tablespoon. Therefore, it is used by many people as a source of energy. On the other hand, one tablespoon of sugar will give you about 15 calories. Furthermore, the carbohydrates in it can be easily converted into glucose, since it is very simple for the body to digest this pure and natural substance.<\/p>\n

Improves Performance & Memory<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Recent research has shown that honey is an excellent ergogenic aid and helps in boosting the performance of athletes. It is a great way to maintain blood sugar levels, recuperate muscles, and restore glycogen after a workout, as well as regulate the amount of insulin in the body. A study showed that consuming honey improves immediate memory in postmenopausal women to the extent which is comparable with the improvement seen after receiving\u00a0estrogen plus progestin therapy (EPT). The research was published in\u00a0Menopause<\/a><\/u>: The Journal<\/a><\/u> of The North American Menopause Society in 2011.<\/p>\n

Rich in Vitamins & Minerals<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It contains a variety of vitamins<\/a><\/u> and minerals<\/a><\/u>. The type of vitamins and minerals and their quantity depends on the type of flowers used for apiculture. Commonly, honey contains vitamin C<\/a><\/u>, calcium<\/a><\/u>, and iron<\/a><\/u>. If you check the vitamin and mineral content in regular sugar from any other source, you will find it completely insignificant.<\/p>\n

Antioxidant Properties<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It contains nutraceuticals, which are very effective for the removal of free radicals from the body. As a result, our body\u2019s immunity is improved against many conditions, even potentially fatal ones like cancer<\/a><\/u> or heart<\/a><\/u> diseases. Researcher\u00a0Nele Gheldof of\u00a0the University of Illinois has published a series of studies on the antioxidant property of honey and its benefits including<\/a><\/u> the increased<\/a><\/u> serum antioxidant capacity in humans.<\/p>\n

Anticancer Properties<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Professor Dr. Nor Hayati Othman in her study\u00a0about the link between honey and cancer states, \u201cHoney and cancer has a sustainable inverse relationship in the setting of developing nations where resources for cancer prevention and treatment are limited.\u201d\u00a0 (Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine journal<\/a><\/u>, 2012)<\/p>\n

Research<\/a><\/u> studies suggest that honey may have the potential to become an anticancer agent. However, more scientific evidence is required to establish the exact mechanism and authenticity of it being used.<\/p>\n

Factors Governing the Benefits of Honey:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Not all honey is created equally, so the quality is different. Both the price and the health benefits of honey are dependent on its quality, so it has become very important for the manufacturers and consumers to understand the various factors that affect the quality of honey. Some of these factors include the type of flowers used in the formation of the honeycombs, the blending process, storage conditions, the temperature of heating, and\u00a0more. These factors have been explained below in more detail<\/p>\n

Type of flowers:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0According to the\u00a0Honey Research Center\u00a0at the University of Waikato<\/a><\/u>, New Zealand, there is not enough evidence to draw conclusions on the properties of honey, especially the antimicrobial properties, based on the type of flowers used for its production. However, extensive research has been carried out on the honeydew variety\u00a0obtained from the conifer forests in the central European mountains and the manuka variety\u00a0obtained from New Zealand. The above-mentioned honeydew kind has been found to have a high microbial activity while the manuka kind has been found to have high non-peroxide activity.<\/p>\n

Blending:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0It is also believed that polyfloral honey (which is obtained from more than one flower) provides more benefits than monofloral. Hence, many companies sell blended honey\u00a0as it\u00a0offers the benefits from a variety and is, therefore, considered to be healthier than non-blended honey.<\/p>\n

Storage:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0When stored for a long duration, it\u00a0becomes darker in color. It loses some of its properties and may also ferment if the water content is too high. Therefore, prolonged storage should be avoided, while newly harvested honey should be preferred.<\/p>\n

Heating:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Heating honey leads to drastic changes in its chemical composition. As a result, heating at high temperatures reduces its benefits. No wonder many people prefer raw,\u00a0organic or raw organic honey. While raw by definition signifies less processing (and no heating), organic honey is prepared using stringent organic production methods and processing standards, in which heating at high temperatures is not allowed.<\/p>\n

Water Content:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Honey can also undergo fermentation. If the water content is high (above 19%), the chances of it becoming fermented are high. You can measure the water content using a refractometer. Furthermore, freely flowing honey either contains higher water content or has been heated to disturb the natural crystallization process, thereby reducing the benefits it will confer to you.<\/p>\n

Color:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0The color of honey is a very useful tool to judge its quality. Light colored honey is more valued than dark colored as the former has a delicate flavor. It\u00a0becomes darker upon storing and heating.<\/p>\n

Filtration:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Most of the benefits are due to the presence of the pollen<\/a><\/u> within the honey. Without the pollen, it\u00a0is a glucose-fructose solution and is just as bad for you as sugar. Unfortunately, companies market the transparent clear product\u00a0as good quality, while in reality, ultra-filtered honey does not have many health benefits at all. That being said, you should be very cautious while consuming pollen-rich honey. If you have a pollen allergy<\/a><\/u>, avoid consuming it.<\/p>\n
