The health benefits of Honey- Instead of Sugar

[Annemarie]

Honey has been eulogised in every religious scripture as food of the gods. Natural honey is valued for its sweetness, and it also retains its prana longer than most food. In that sense, honey is almost a perfect food. Most importantly, it can be preserved indefinitely if it is pure.

Honey also has very high food value and its daily use can prevent and control many common ailments. It has 76 per cent sugar and various minerals, enzymes and vitamins in proportions required by the human body. Dark honey has more iron, copper and manganese than the lighter varieties. Natural honey, pre- digested by bees, can be rapidly assimilated in the body and is sedative.

Honey has certain potassium salts that make it a phenomenal moisture absorber and a great killer of germs and bacteria. In fact, naturopath A.P. Dewan says that honey kills bacteria more effectively than some antibiotics.

This also helps it draw excess fluid from the blood stream, lowering blood pressure. Honey, if taken on an empty stomach with water and lemon, reduces obesity and weight.

Beauticians recommend it quite liberally for a glowing complexion and silky hair. If taken at night with hot milk, it cures constipation.

A glass of water with a teaspoon of honey also removes excessive fatigue.
