Raw Honey
Did you know that pure honey was found in an
ancient Egyptian tomb in perfectly preserved
and edible form? We are all familiar with honey,
often thinking of it only as a natural
sweetener.
But like other products from the hive, it may
have many medicinal qualities,
including the
ability to kill bacteria, treat infection and provide
energy more quickly than sugar.
While sugar is made up of sucrose, honey contains
glucose and fructose. Because all
carbohydrates must be converted to glucose before our bodies can absorb them, honey, being
made of glucose, is more easily converted to energy for our bodies, providing a quicker source
of get-up-and-go than other carbs.
In addition to glucose and fructose, honey contains a large array of nutrients like its sister
products from the hive, including vitamin A, C, D, E, K and the complete line of B-complex
vitamins, minerals, amino acids, betacarotene and antioxidants.
Bee pollen and propolis enzymes are present in even the purest of raw honey. These possess anti-viral and antibacterial properties that work from within the honey to sterilize wounds and assist healing. The list of known nutritional benefits from honey keeps growing.
Reap the benefits from the work of thousands of honeybees by taking bee products daily, and you may just be increasing your overall state of health.
