What All Honey Can Do?

June 12, 2009


The sweet flavor of honey is irresistible. Honey has more benefits than one. The cosmetic industry depends on it for its moisturizing properties and the confectioneries for the flavor. Honey is part of countless traditional home remedies.  Here is a glimpse of what honey is capable to do.

Honey acts as a powerful antioxidant by providing all major vitamins of the B-complex group. These include Vitamin B1, B2, B5, and B6. Minerals found in honey include iron, manganese, magnesium, copper, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, sodium and potassium. Some essential amino acids are found in honey which are the building blocks of proteins.

Honey has been used to develop “Hibernation Diet” by a British pharmacist. It has the capacity to activate functioning of the body while asleep. This helps in weight loss. It triggers fat metabolism. Honey contains 1:1 ratio of glucose to fructose. Hence it is an ideal food that maintains optimal blood sugar levels in body.

A well known remedy for honey is with lime juice and apple cider vinegar. Taking them early morning empty stomach helps in weight loss. Otherwise also, drinking honey in lukewarm water everyday helps in weight loss. Additionally, due to vitamins and minerals, honey revives the depleted energy. Drinking honey with warm milk at bed time a good aphrodisiac. It also helps in better sleep.

Honey is an excellent moisturizer. Entire skin texture can be improved using mixture of honey and lemon juice. Take these ingredients in equal quantities and apply all over the body after bath. Keep it for 10 minutes then wash of with water.

Honey helps in removing skin blemishes. Soak a few almonds in water overnight. Take two almonds and make their paste with milk. Add just 4 drops of honey and apply this paste on face and neck regions. Regular use of this paste reduces scars and blemishes within 2 months.

Instead of sugar try using honey where and when possible. What else could be so sweet yet so healthy?
