Honey is often called yellow gold. It is very popular, but there are many honey lovers not only in distant countries, but also in our country, as it is delicious and healthy and has many positive effects on our body.
Honey has been used for centuries all over the world. It has a very high medicinal value and research shows that there are more and more people who prefer it for its healing properties and not for its sweet taste. We also show why we should eat honey regularly and why we love it so much in the cold winter months.
Honey has been shown to help cure a prolonged cough, its thick consistency helps to coat the throat, which has a soothing effect. Honey therefore also has both pain and cough-relieving properties, making it effective in the treatment of upper respiratory tract diseases.
Honey is a rich source of antioxidants. Research has shown that regular consumption of honey in the postmenopausal period helps prevent mental decline and brain dysfunction, and even has a beneficial effect on memory.
Honey is a very good source of energy for the body. It contains natural glucose and fructose, which, once in the bloodstream, help to increase energy levels. It can be consumed before exercise or any other activity that requires stamina as it provides energy to the body.
It is also a natural antibiotic and is therefore very effective in treating mild burns and wounds. It not only disinfects but also heals wounds. As it also has antiseptic properties, it reduces the chances of bacterial overgrowth. Honey also cures gum disease, reduces bleeding gums and reduces the chances of tooth decay.
Honey can improve cholesterol levels by increasing HDL levels and lowering LDL levels. As it also plays a role in stabilising high blood pressure, this dual effect reduces the risk of heart attack.
Honey can even be used in skin care. It’s a great cure for eczema, and it’s also excellent for exfoliation, as it removes dead skin cells.
