Honey has been used since ancient times for health, beauty, and medicinal purposes. It is thought that just one small spoonful a day is potent enough to provide us with touches of its nutritional and beautifying benefits. There is a reason it was deemed “the nectar of the Gods”. There are many types of honey on the market so it’s confusing to the untrained eye as to what nature of honey is actually best. Raw honey is typically supported by its pronounced level of bioactive plant compounds and antioxidant properties, and of course is 100% natural and sourced from the hard work of the honey bee. The darker the honey, the more benefits it tends to hold; the number of bioactive compounds and antioxidant values are higher.
Here we take a closer look at honey and how it can sweeten your health!
- Replace sugars and sweeteners with honey
Using honey to sweeten our beverages and in-home cooking (such as breakfast pancakes and healthy snacks like oat bars) is just one way of stepping back from the high sugar trap of modern living. It is the small changes we make that add up. Although honey doesn’t contain vitamins and minerals, it is its high antioxidant value that really makes the difference to our health. Honey helps to raise the levels of good cholesterol and lower blood pressure, and so over time, it can potentially impact our heart health too. - Raise your energy levels naturally
Honey is carbohydrate-rich, and as this is our main source of fuel it can provide us with a high dose of natural energy when we need a little boost. Rather than reach for seemingly healthy (although very calorific) energy bars, we can invent our own. Refined sugars are empty calories that contain no nutritional benefits, yet if we look closely at the well-intended health snacks we buy- we may find it as an ingredient more often than not. Honey is also anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory, which helps to support and strengthen our immune system. - The magic of Manuka honey
