Since ancient times, honey has been used as both a food and a medicine. It's very high in beneficial plant compounds and offers several health benefits. Honey is particularly healthy when used instead of refined sugar, which is 100% empty calories.
For our health, there are 10 surprising benefits of honey. By consuming pure-honey regularly days by days, we’ll gain the amazing miracle of it.
1. Honey Contains Some Nutrients. Honey is thick, sweet liquid made by honeybees. It is low in vitamins and minerals but may be high in some plant compounds.
2. High-Quality Honey Is Rich in Antioxidants. Honey contains a number of antioxidants, including phenolic compounds like flavonoids.
3. Honey Is "Less Bad" Than Sugar for Diabetics. Some studies show that honey improves heart disease risk factors in people with diabetes. However, it also raises blood sugar levels — so it cannot be considered healthy for people with diabetes.
4. The Antioxidants in It Can Help Lower Blood Pressure. Eating honey may lead to modest reductions in blood pressure, an important risk factor for heart disease.
5. Honey Also Helps Improve Cholesterol. Honey seems to have a positive effect on cholesterol levels. It leads to modest reductions in total and “bad” LDL cholesterol while raising “good” HDL cholesterol.
6. Honey Can Lower Triglycerides. Elevated triglycerides are a risk factor for heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Several studies show that honey can lower triglyceride levels, especially when used as a sugar substitute.
7. The Antioxidants in It Are Linked to Other Beneficial Effects on Heart Health. The antioxidants in honey have been linked to beneficial effects on heart health, including increased blood flow to your heart and a reduced risk of blood clot formation.
8. Honey Promotes Burn and Wound Healing. When applied to the skin, honey can be part of an effective treatment plan for burns, wounds and many other skin conditions. It is particularly effective for diabetic foot ulcers.
9. Honey Can Help Suppress Coughs in Children. For children over one year of age, honey can act as a natural and safe cough suppressant. Some studies show that it is even more effective than cough medicine.
10. It's Delicious, But Still High in Calories and Sugar. Honey is a delicious, healthier alternative to sugar.
