Honey is one of
the worlds amazing products. The health benefits of raw honey are
extensive. It is a good source of antioxidants that help protect your
body from cell damage due to free radicals.
The tiny residue of propolis in raw honey has antifungal and
antibacterial properties making it ideal for healing wounds. It is
thought that incredible enzymes such as phytonutrients, amylase, glucose
oxidase, invertase, diastase and catalese in honey are responsible for
the immune-boosting and anticancer benefits. Minimal processing and good
storage helps to retain these properties.
Honey also includes small trace amounts of 54 different micronutrients (or, vitamins and minerals):
- calcium
- magnesium
- manganese
- niacin
- pantothenic acid
- phosphorous
- potassium
- riboflavin
- sodium
- vitamin C
- zinc
To get the benefits from bee gut flora, please do not heat your honey
over 40 degrees, as this will cause the beneficial enzymes to die. It
will still be perfectly tasty for cooking or dropping in your tea. So
don’t forget to have a teaspoon of raw honey straight from the spoon. It
contains 64 calories and 17 grams of sugar in each tablespoon of raw
honey, which is a great source of portable energy for runners.
