Honey has been utilized for generations as a healthy supplement as well as a healing agent. It makes a great sweetener for coffee, tea and cereal and is a rich source of nutrients that can provide a person with a lot of energy and even aid digestion. It can also be applied to the skin as a healing agent and beauty aid. Let us take a look at the multitude of uses that honey has.
What Honey Contains:
Honey is mostly made up of carbohydrates, sugar and water which is why it is such a potent source of energy. It also contains the following beneficial vitamins and minerals:
Niacin Riboflavin Pantothenic acid Calcium Copper Iron Magnesium Phosphorus Potassium Zinc
Honey is also laden with beneficial antioxidants such as flavonoids and phenolic acids which can help get rid of free radicals and boost our immune system. It also contains beneficial enzymes along with other phytonutrients.
Honey as a healer
The antioxidant capability of honey gives it the power to help us recover from wounds better by boosting our immune system. Ingesting Honeys can also help our digestion. Research has shown that enzymes in honey enhance the growth and viability of bifidobacteria (beneficial bacteria) along the same lines as yogurt. Honey has also been used to soothe sore throats because of its anti-inflammatory properties.
Honey has also been applied to burns and wounds for centuries because of its antiseptic properties. The glucose and fructose content of honey causes the substance to attract water. When applied to a wound, it dries it out and inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi. On top of that, raw honey also contains an enzyme called glucose oxidase. When this enzyme combines with the attracted water, it produces hydrogen peroxide which serves as a mild antiseptic.
Honey and looking good
There is a good reason that honey can be found as an ingredient in so many beauty products. It contains a lot of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that can make your skin and hair healthy and shiny. Additionally, if you take honey as a supplement over a period of time it will began to give you a radiant glow and even help you look younger by reducing wrinkles. Honey is a natural skin cleanser and moisturizing agent making it a favorite ingredient in many beauty salons. It also helps exfoliate and renew the skin cell, making the skin softer and more youthful looking.
How to take honey as a health supplement
You can take a teaspoon of honey first thing in a morning before breakfast. You may also take Royal Jelly and propolis along with the honey. These are byproducts of honey that are prized by saloons for their ability to give you a healthy glow as well as athletes who benefit from the added energy boost.
