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 seems to be no end to the list of benefits offered by this food. It is nutritious, it is used in beauty products, it has numerous health benefits and it is even used in some forms of psychological therapy. Most people eat it simply because it is delicious and they do not even realize that they are enjoying many benefits in the process.

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.

The proven health benefits are stunning and there is not a single known case of anyone showing any form of adverse reaction after eating honey. It is a marvellous natural antibiotic, obviously without the nasty side effects of medical versions. It is an effective anti inflammatory and anti fungal agent. It can be used as it is to heal exposed wounds and it helps fight harmful free radicals because it is rich in antioxidants.

Other health benefits include its role in efficient weight control. When substituting it with sugar for sweet treats, it most certainly help people to lose weight. Even better, it lowers the appetite and the blood sugar level. Other than sugar, it provides extra energy for longer periods of time and it even acts as a very effective natural anti allergen. As if this is not enough, it also boosts the immune system.

However, the majority of people use honey simply because it is so delicious and versatile. For them, the extra benefits are a bonus. It is a magnificent cooking ingredient that works well with a host of other ingredients. It can easily replace the use of sugar in the majority of cases. It can even be used as an environmentally friendly way to entice all kinds of critters to stay away from the home.

Sadly, bees are fast becoming endangered all over the world. Despite large scale commercial farming, their natural habitat is shrinking by the day. Some environmental experts say that if bees become extinct the entire future of the planet is at risk. People are scared of bees and have them killed or removed without thinking twice. They are, in fact, valuable allies and they should be treated a s such.

Honey is one of the true marvels of nature. It has numerous uses and it is the perfect example of a true super food. Nobody will argue the fact that it should be part of the diet of every household in the world.
