Superfood: Honey

in #food7 years ago

Honey is generally found in a liquid or sugary state, it is produced by bees from nectar in flowers and stored in the beehive for consumption.

Humans have always used honey as a food, and later our species learned to capture bee swarms and to install them in artificial beehives, this allowed us to increase the production of honey and many products are made from honey today!
Honey is the only sugar that contains proteins and many minerals and vitamins, and it as many known medicinal properties!

Here is a list of some:

  • It increases our energy instantly because of its high glucose content it is absorbed by our body fast.
  • Honey is a natural hydrating for our skin and helps in the prevention of dry skin.
  • Beneficial for weight loss, because honey is a great substitute for sugar and helps our metabolism.
  • Honey is the best to fight throat and coughing, use it soon and in a preventive way!
  • Full of antioxidants, honey will improve your immune system.
  • Honey helps to reduce sugar levels in blood and fighting diabetes.
