We are all familiar with honey as a valuable substitute for
refined sugar or chemical additives which have been shown
to be neurotoxins. We often are unaware of using the
incredible nutritional value of honey for a variety of
health benefits beyond honey’s being a natural
sweetener.
Honey is a natural glucose and fructose sugar that is
readily recognized and used for energy by our bodies. Honey
contains mineral such as magnesium, potassium, calcium,
sodium chlorine, sulphur, iron and phosphate. Honey also
contains small amounts of copper, iodine and zinc. Honey
contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, B5 and B3.
Honey is often used to help us build immunity to pollens
that are responsible for allergic reaction. Honey, because
of its ability to attract water, is also used as a skin
moisturizer and well as a hair conditioner when mixed with
olive oil. Since Honey has powerful antimicrobial
qualities, it can soothe raw tissue such as we experience
with a “sore throat”. Honey is a natural
anti-inflammatory agent containing phytochemicals that
helps heal wounds by killing bacteria, virus, and fungus
that cannot live in honey thus preventing infection. Honey
is being used in Europe and the Middle East to treat ulcers
and burns. The treatment of burns with honey reduces pain
and result in healing with minimal scaring of skin. Honey
reduces the swelling of wounds and is used by our body as
building material for new tissue as honey actually traps
moisture and oxygen around the wound that is vital for
healing and tissue generation.
Honey has sustaining blood sugar concentrations that many
athletes use for endurance training as honey maintains and
stores muscle glycogen as a readily available, metabolized
fuel. Honey promotes muscle tissue repair. Honey acts as a
superior carbohydrate that helps athletes give a peak
performance.
Honey contains small amounts of resins found in propolis.
Propolis is used by bees to build and maintain their hives.
Propolis makes the hive safe from bacteria and other
micro-organisms. Propolis is anti-bacterial, anti-viral
and anti-fungal. Propolis contains phytonutrients which
have been shown to have cancer preventing and anti-tumor
properties. Propolis is contained in small amounts in honey
and is available in concentrated supplement form.
Honey contains bee pollen. Bee pollen has been shown to
correct the chemical imbalance that often leads to weight
gain. Therefore, bee pollen has proven to be a valuable
aid for weight loss. Been pollen improves our metabolism,
i.e. the rate at which our bodies burn fat. Bee pollen
dissolves and flushes fat cells from our bodies because of
the high amounts of lecithin it contains. Bee pollen helps
us reduce our cravings for food. Bee pollen has been shown
to lower cholesterol levels. Bee pollen is also beneficial
for our sexual health. Studies have shown that bee pollen
helps restore the health of female reproductive system and
relief from the discomfort of PMS. Bee pollen has been
shown to help increase men’s sperm count, help
maintain erection, and prevent prostate problems. Bee
pollen has been shown to improve our immune systems and
remove toxins from our bodies. In addition, many athletes
use bee pollen for endurance, strength and stamina. Many
of us use bee pollen to help improve mental clarity. Bee
pollen is available in concentrated supplement form.
Royal jelly is the only food source for the queen bee. The
queen bee lives up to forty times longer than the other
bees. Royal jelly contains large amounts of protein and all
eight of the essential amino acids that our bodies cannot
manufacture. Royal jelly is an antioxidant that combats
free radicals. Royal jelly contains large amounts of
natural hormones e.g. pheromones, large amounts of amino
acids and essential amino acids, B vitamins, vitamins A,
C, D and E. Royal jelly contains essential fatty acids and
acetylcholine, a natural neurotransmitter. Royal jelly
contains sterols, phosphorus compounds nucleic acids and
traces of calcium copper potassium, silicon and sulfur.
Royal jelly helps lower cholesterol, promotes mental
alertness and clarity, reduces dizziness and buzzing in the
ears and improves energy levels thus eliminating fatigue.
Royal Jelly has been shown to reduce anxiety and depression
because of its high amounts of acetylcholine that is a
natural neurotransmitter. Many of us report that it helps
slow down the ageing process, improves vitality and energy
levels. Royal jelly improves the conditions of our skin and
improves the strength and condition of our nails and hair.
Royal jelly contains lipids and carbohydrates and aspartic
acid that facilitates growth and repair of cells and
tissue. Royal jell also has antibacterial and antimicrobial
properties. Royal jelly is available in concentrated
supplemental form.
The next time we use honey, we can experience and extra
satisfaction beyond taste, knowing the miraculous and
amazing health benefits we are receiving. We can receive
even more health and healing benefit from taking advantage
of the availability of bee pollen and propolis and royal
jelly in supplemental form. We need to find ways to protect
our bee population and feel deep gratitude for the many
gifts of health and nutrition they have provided us.
