8 Things That Will Happen to Your Body If You Start Eating Honey Every Day
We are constantly trying to find new ways to ensure that our body is
healthy.
Everyone knows that exercising will keep your bones strong and your heart
healthy.
Eating fruits and vegetables will give you the necessary vitamins and
minerals that your body needs to create nutrients.
But what about eating honey? Could eating honey do wonders for your body?
Research indicates that it can!
Honey is produced by bees and several other related insects.
In most cases, microorganisms do not grow on honey.
This enables people to store it for long periods of time without it
spoiling.
We’ve all heard the Mary Poppins Song “A spoon full of sugar.” But now
people could be singing “A spoon full of honey.”
Keep reading to find out what eating honey can do for your body.
Clear Up Your Skin:
If you don’t already take care of your skin, you should
start.
Honey is a great substance to consume if you want healthy
skin.
It’s a great source that is full of antioxidants which will help clear
your body of harmful toxins.
It also contains antibacterial properties that will keep your skin
clean.
Help Lose Excess Weight:
If you go to your doctor and tell him/her that you want to lose weight,
they will tell you to cut out sugar from your diet.
But they will tell you to exclude honey from that.
Honey has a different type of sugar substance added to it.
It helps boost your metabolism which will help you get to your weight
loss goal.
Lower Your Cholesterol:
A study that was published in the Scientific World Journal showed that
honey reduced the participant’s cholesterol by 3 percent.
The study had participants consume 70g of honey for 30 days.
The results showed a reduction of total cholesterol by 3
percent.
Another study that was published in the Journal of Medicine and Food
showed a reduction of 8 percent.
Strengthens Your Heart:
Research indicates that by eating honey, you can prevent your arteries
from narrowing. Depending on what artery becomes narrow, you could
experience cardiac failure, headaches, and even slow memory loss.
Better Memory:
Reuters Health conducted a study that wanted to link better memory to the
consumption of honey.
The studies included 102 healthy women who were asked to take 20g of
honey, a hormonal replacement or do nothing.
They followed the participants for four months.
After the four months, they found that women who took honey were
able to remember one extra word when they were given 15 words to remember
during a short memory test.
The calcium in honey is easily ingested into the brain which helps its
function.
Sleep Soundly:
If you eat honey before bed, you sleep like a baby. Why? Well, the sugar
that is found in honey helps raise our insulin levels slightly and allows
the compound tryptophan to enter the brain more easily. If you’re not
familiar with tryptophan, it’s what is found in turkey that makes us
sleepy. Anyone who loves Thanksgiving knows that after dinner it’s nap
time!
Healthy Stomach:
If you constantly suffer from bloating and indigestion, the antiseptic
properties that are found in honey can help with that. It will alleviate
indigestion and can also neutralize gas.
Relieves Your Nervous System:
The neurons in the body need glucose in order to function properly. The
glucose in honey is easily absorbed into the bloodstream which can help
relax and alleviate certain psychological disorders. However, if you do
suffer from psychological disorders, I recommend you go speak with a
health professional instead of taking honey. You can also inquire about
taking honey as an alternative.
Bonus: honey and garlic combo
When combined with another natural remedy with strong antiseptic and
healing properties – garlic – the power of honey will increase tenfold.
Garlic-infused honey will boost your immune system and keep you in good
health. You’re going to need the following ingredients:
■ 3-4 heads of garlic
■ 1 cup raw honey
■ a small jar with a lid
Separate the garlic heads into cloves, and remove their outer layers.
Put them into the jar, and then pour honey over them. Remove bubbles if
necessary. Cover the jar with a lid, and put it away to infuse for a few
days. Take one spoonful a day on an empty stomach, and you will feel
energized and healthy like never before.
