Honey, a gift from nature to nutrition and medicine

We all know about honey. But if we know very magical properties of honey? Honey is a gift from nature to nutrition and drugs against various diseases.

Honey is composed of several sugar compounds such as glucose and fructose and minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, chlorine, sulfur, iron, and phosphate. Honey also contains vitamins B1, B2, C, B6 and B3 that composition changes according to the quality of nectar and pollen. In addition, the honey also contain a small amount of copper, iodine, and zinc, as well as several types of hormones.


As word of God in the holy bible, honey is "a drug for humans". This scientific fact has been confirmed by scientists who met at the World Conference Apikultur (World Apiculture Conference) held on 20-26 September 1993 in China. The conference discussed the treatment and medicine that comes from the honey. American scientists say that honey, royal jelly, pollen, and propolis to treat various diseases. A Romanian doctor said that he tested honey for treatment of cataract patients, and 2002 of 2094 patients recovered. Polish doctors also stated in the conference that bee resin can help cure many diseases such as hemorrhoids, skin problems, gynecological diseases, and various other diseases.

Today, apikultur and bee products have opened a new branch of research in countries advanced in science. Other benefits of honey can be described below:

Easily digested: Because sugar molecules in honey can convert into other sugars (eg fructose to glucose), honey is easily digested by the most sensitive stomach though, despite having a high acid content. Honey helps kidneys and intestines to function better.

Low calorie: The quality honey is, when compared with the same amount of sugar, honey calories 40% less. While giving a lot of energy, honey do not gain weight.

Diffuses more rapidly through the blood: When mixed with warm water, honey diffuses into the blood in seven minutes. Free sugar molecules make the brain function better since the brain is the largest sugar consumed higher.

Helps blood formation: Honey provides a lot of energy the body needs for blood formation. Furthermore, he helped clean the blood. Honey has a positive effect and helps regulate blood circulation. Honey also acts as a protection against capillary problems and arteriosclerosis.

Killing bacteria: The nature of the honey kills bacteria called "inhibition effect". Research on honey show that these properties more than doubled when diluted with water. It is interesting that the newly born bees in the colony fed diluted honey by the bees responsible for their care, as if they know the capabilities of this honey.

Royal Jelly: Royal jelly is a substance produced by worker bees in the hive. This highly nutritious substances containing sugars, proteins, fats, and various vitamins. Royal jelly is used to overcome the problems caused by tissue deficiency or weakness of the body.

It is obvious that honey, which produced far exceeds the amount of bees, made for the benefit of mankind. And has also clear that bees can not perform tasks that are so difficult "by itself".
