Why Pure Raw Honey Must Be One Of The Most Revered Super Foods

By Joyce Collins


Some types of food have gained legendary status over the centuries and the sweet product so willingly produced by bees is most definitely one of them. Few people know that this is the one and only food that is thought to be unable to go bad. In fact, samples that are thousands of years old have been found to be safe to consume. It has been described as the food of gods and kings. Pure raw honey remains a marvel to this very day.

This food certainly offers many benefits in various areas of life. There are nutritional benefits, health benefits and even psychological benefits to gain by eating it. But for most people, the very act of eating this sweet, delicious treat is the only benefit that they want to enjoy. It is freely available everywhere but experts warn that consumers must beware that not all varieties are complete natural.

It is unfortunate that some suppliers feel that it is necessary to add preservatives and other additives to their products. This is entirely unnecessary. Consumers should be sure to look out for products that specifically state that it contains no such additives. It is also necessary to understand that products from different regions may have different natural flavours. It depends upon the natural vegetation of the area where the syrup is produced.

The proven health benefits are stunning and there is not a single known case of anyone showing any form of adverse reaction after eating honey. It is a marvellous natural antibiotic, obviously without the nasty side effects of medical versions. It is an effective anti inflammatory and anti fungal agent. It can be used as it is to heal exposed wounds and it helps fight harmful free radicals because it is rich in antioxidants.

There is more. It helps to manage weight. It is not only a very suitable substitute for sugar, but it helps improve the metabolism and it even helps to decrease the appetite. As a bonus, it provides higher levels of energy than sugar, but over longer periods. It protects people against allergies and it is beneficial to the immune system.

However, most people do not use honey for the benefits that it offers. It is extremely versatile and can be used in cooking, it can replace sugar in recipes, it can be mixed with a variety of substances such as chillies to produce extraordinary sauces and it can even be used as an environmentally friendly way in which to entice bothersome insects such as ants away from the home.

Sadly, bees are fast becoming endangered all over the world. Despite large scale commercial farming, their natural habitat is shrinking by the day. Some environmental experts say that if bees become extinct the entire future of the planet is at risk. People are scared of bees and have them killed or removed without thinking twice. They are, in fact, valuable allies and they should be treated a s such.

Everything produced by bees are valuable to mankind. The wax, the food and even the fallouts from the hives are valuable. Nobody should ever destroy a swarm simply because they moved in. It is always best to contact a professional to rather relocate the swarm.
