Good To Know
If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left.
Bees are not only extremely important for humans, but also for entire ecosystems to function. As we know, bees allow plants to reproduce through pollination. These plants contribute to the food system by feeding animals – aside from humans – such as birds and insects.
One of the most important jobs for a bee is to make enough honey in the summer for the bee colony to feed off and survive the winter. These are some of the benefits which the Raw Natural Honey gives to your body:
BOOST OF VITAMINS AND MINERALS
Natural raw honey is food high nutritional value and immense health benefits. It contains several vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin B, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. The other constituents of honey are amino acids, antibiotic-rich inhibin, proteins, phenol antioxidants, and micronutrients.
LOW IN CARBS
The calories in honey come from carbohydrates, specifically sugar. The sugar in honey is about 50% glucose and 50% fructose. The glycemic index of honey is around 58 with a glycemic load of 12. For comparison, the glycemic index of table sugar (sucrose) is 65. The additional benefit of eating honey as a source of energy over the commonly used artificial sugar is that, the major sugar constituents of NH are present as monosaccharides (simple sugars).
CHILD-FRIENDLY
After you child reach 12 months in age it will be able to enjoy all of the taste and health benefits of honey. It is now an established fact that feeding honey to children will improve memory and growth, reduce anxiety and enhance the children’s performance in later life.
SOOTHES A COUGH
The raw honey can help calm a cough. A review of six studies treating coughs in children and adults found that a spoonful of honey suppresses a cough as well as dextromethorphan—the cough suppressant found in Robitussin DM—and better than Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or no treatment. The research also found honey may provide longer relief than Albuterol (salbutamol).
DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION
Natural raw honey contains several enzymes which enhance the digestion of food substances especially carbohydrates such as sugars and starch. The consumption of honey is important in human digestion, and this effect is produced by the honey’s constituents of oligosaccharides. Honey has been shown to be a gastroprotective agent and it can be used for the prevention, cure and the treatments of some GIT disorders such as ulcers, gastritis and gastroenteritis.
ORAL HEALTH
The use of raw honey can promote oral health and wellness. The honey is with high level of antibacterial activity, so it has the potential to reduce the risk of dental caries. In addition, honey could prevent dental plaque, gingivitis, periodontics.
