Do you know that honey has been used since ancient times for its medical and nutritional values?

It has very high beneficial plant compounds and there are several health benefits to gain from consuming KAAG Natural Honey which is particularly healthy when consumed instead of consuming refined sugar which is 100% empty calories.

1. Honey Contains Beneficial Nutrients:

Honeybees produce the sweet, thick liquid we know as honey.

The bees collect sugar-rich nectars from flowers around their environment. They return to their beehive and repeatedly consume, digest, and regurgitate the nectar which gives an end product of honey.

The smell, taste, and color of the honey depend solely on the types of flowers visited.

Honey does not contain any fiber, fat, or protein and 1 tablespoon of honey (21 grams) contains 64 calories and 17 grams of sugar, including fructose, glucose, maltose, and sucrose.

It also contains trace amounts - under 1% of the RDI - of several vitamins and minerals.

Honey is super important in its content of bioactive plant compounds and antioxidants.

Darker types of honey tend to be even higher in these compounds than the lighter types.

2. High-Quality Honey is Rich in Antioxidants:

High-quality honey contains several important antioxidants, examples include phenolic compounds like flavonoids and organic acids.

The combination of these compounds, as scientists believe, gives honey its antioxidant power.

Two studies have shown that natural honey increases your blood's antioxidant value.

Antioxidants are linked to a reduced risk of strokes, heart attacks, and some types of cancer. It could also promote eye health.


3. Honey Helps to Improve Cholesterol:

High LDL cholesterol levels are a known strong risk factor for heart disease.

High LDL cholesterol levels play a major role in atherosclerosis, which is the fatty buildup in your arteries, this could lead to heart attacks and strokes.

Interestingly, several studies conducted have shown honey could improve your cholesterol levels. It reduces the “bad” LDL cholesterol while significantly raising the “good” HDL cholesterol.

For example, a study conducted in 55 patients compared natural honey to table sugar and found that honey caused a 3.3% increase in HDL cholesterol and a 5.8% reduction in LDL. It also led to a modest weight loss of 1.3%.

4. The Antioxidants in Honey Can Help Lower Blood Pressure:

Honey could help you lower your blood pressure which is an important risk factor for heart disease.

This is because natural honey contains antioxidant compounds that have been linked to lower blood pressure.

Studies conducted in rats and humans consuming honey have shown a modest reduction in blood pressure.

5. Honey Promotes Burns and Wounds Healing:

Since ancient Egypt, honey treatment has been used to heal burns and wounds and it is still common in recent times.

A review carried out on 26 studies on honey and wound care discovered that honey is most effective at healing partial-thickness burns and wounds that have become infected after surgery.

Honey is also a very effective treatment for diabetic foot ulcers, which can develop serious complications that could lead to amputation.

There is a 43.3% success rate in a study conducted with honey used as a wound treatment. In another study conducted, natural honey healed a whopping 97% of patients’ diabetic ulcers.

Researchers believe that honey’s healing power is derived from its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects as well as its ability to nourish surrounding tissue.

What’s more? It can help treat other skin conditions such as psoriasis and herpes lesions.

In conclusion, you need to choose a high-quality brand of natural honey because lower-quality honey is mixed with syrup which has very negative impacts on your health.
