Why Pure Raw Honey Must Be One Of The Most Revered Super Foods

By Joyce Collins


There are some types of food that has been treasured by mankind over all the ages. The special syrup produced by bees is most certainly on near the top of this list. This food has been described as miraculous. In fact, it is the only type of food known to man that cannot rot. It can be eaten safely even after thousands of years have passed. Pure raw honey is most certainly one of the most valuable super foods available to society today.

This food certainly offers many benefits in various areas of life. There are nutritional benefits, health benefits and even psychological benefits to gain by eating it. But for most people, the very act of eating this sweet, delicious treat is the only benefit that they want to enjoy. It is freely available everywhere but experts warn that consumers must beware that not all varieties are complete natural.

Experts warn, however, that some suppliers add preservatives, totally without reason, and flavouring agents to their products. These should be avoided because this syrup does not need any help or augmentation. At the very worst it will crystallize, but the application of gentle heat will restore it to its previously pristine condition. When buying it it is important to read the label and to make sure that it is pure.

This product offers numerous health benefits. It is and excellent anti fungal agent and a natural antibiotic. It is also extremely rich in antioxidants, which helps the body to defend itself against free radicals. Honey is even used as it is, without any other compounds, to heal open wounds. It has been very effective in treating sore throats and its anti inflammatory properties have been long known.

Other health benefits include its role in efficient weight control. When substituting it with sugar for sweet treats, it most certainly help people to lose weight. Even better, it lowers the appetite and the blood sugar level. Other than sugar, it provides extra energy for longer periods of time and it even acts as a very effective natural anti allergen. As if this is not enough, it also boosts the immune system.

However, most people do not use honey for the benefits that it offers. It is extremely versatile and can be used in cooking, it can replace sugar in recipes, it can be mixed with a variety of substances such as chillies to produce extraordinary sauces and it can even be used as an environmentally friendly way in which to entice bothersome insects such as ants away from the home.

Sadly, bees are fast becoming endangered all over the world. Despite large scale commercial farming, their natural habitat is shrinking by the day. Some environmental experts say that if bees become extinct the entire future of the planet is at risk. People are scared of bees and have them killed or removed without thinking twice. They are, in fact, valuable allies and they should be treated a s such.

One wonders why so many people call their loved ones honey. Maybe it is an instinctive reference to the very high regard that this substance enjoys. It is healthy, tasty and even desirable. It is mysterious and it is not easy to harvest.
