Nutritional value of honey

How good?

The sugars of honey are simple ones and absorbed immediately by the body.  This is the reason that honey is a fast source of energy for the body: suitable for athletes, children, pregnant women, the sick and for any tired organism.

Honey has inorganic elements which play a crucial role in the body’s metabolism and nourishment.  They are components of the skeletal cells, participate in various enzyme reactions, and regulate the stomach’s acidity levels.

Honey has antiseptic attributes as well.  It is a toner: increases the beating rhythm of the heart, decreases the probability of ulcers of the stomach, and contributes to the general well-being of the human body.

Consumption of honey contributes to a faster re-establishment of health in cases of anaemia, and in a more rapid breakdown of alcohol in the event of intoxication.  It also has a high content of choline, which helps individuals who suffer from constipation because of sedentary work.

Honey has antimicrobial powers as well; it prevents the growth of bacteria and other pathogenic organisms.  It is useful in the cicatrisation [healing of wounds], cleaning and disinfection of wounds.  

Honey is an empowering and yet palliative care agent for the body.
