With all the bad news surrounding sugar lately, most people know to avoid it at all costs. But this doesn\u2019t eliminate the fact that we do need some sweeteners to enhance the taste of many of our foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you can add artificial sweeteners to your dishes, many people don\u2019t feel so comfortable with this routine. Just the name alone says all you need to know: artificial<\/strong><\/em>. Why would you put something that is not natural in your body? Clearly, this can\u2019t be a good thing. While research has supposedly deemed these sweeteners safe, many still feel they experience unwanted side effects when using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is one sweetener, however, that is much safer and has an array of health benefits to know about. That sweetener? Raw\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Honey<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While honey still does contain calories and will provide the body with glucose, it does need to be eaten in moderation; it\u2019s one of the best naturally occurring sweeteners that you can use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let\u2019s walk you through some of the key benefits that honey offers so you can see why this is one food you may want to start incorporating a little more often. You can do so much more with honey than just adding a little to a slice of toast or in your afternoon tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before We Start…<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we dive into the benefits, one thing you need to know right off the bat is that any old honey won\u2019t due here. You want to only be getting raw honey. This honey is unfiltered and unpasteurized, therefore it comes straight from the bees. Most honey that\u2019s sold commercially today is pasteurized, which robs this honey of much of the nutrition that it provides. If you opt for this type of honey, you really aren\u2019t getting much more benefit than you would from just consuming sugar (which we\u2019ve already identified is not a good idea<\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So make sure you shop wisely. If it doesn\u2019t say raw honey, don\u2019t buy it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you purchase raw honey, you\u2019ll take in approximately 64 calories and 17 grams of carbohydrates and receive the micronutrients of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, and fluoride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superior Control Over Body <\/b><\/span>Weight<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We aren\u2019t going to sit here and tell you that honey has magical weight loss powers, and if you eat it, you\u2019ll lose weight. That is far from the case. In fact, eat too much of it, and you will gain weight. Remember, it is still very calorie-dense and is still a pure sweetener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This said, if you opt for honey over sugar, you will see better weight control. This is because consuming honey helps you better manage your blood sugar levels as you don\u2019t get that typical blood sugar spike that you would after eating glucose. This is in part due to the fact that honey is partly fructose, not just glucose. Only glucose raises blood sugar levels, so you don\u2019t see that spike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also means you\u2019ll be at a lower risk for insulin resistance and diabetes. Honey can be an okay sweetener for diabetics to use in small doses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, research suggests that honey may also help to lower serum triglyceride levels, so it may just help give your heart a boost as well (1)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combats Seasonal <\/b><\/span>Allergies<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are someone often taken down by the seasonal allergies that accompany every spring, you\u2019re likely seeking sweet relief. If what you suffer from here is a pollen allergy, the great news is honey may give you protection. Because raw honey contains bee pollen, this helps you gain natural allergy relief while also strengthening your overall immunity as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you continually eat the honey over time, your body is exposed to small doses of the pollen from the various flowers, which then allows your body to build up immunity to this. That way, when spring hits and pollen season is in full swing, you aren\u2019t affected nearly as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that this process doesn\u2019t happen overnight. One slice of toast smothered in honey before allergy season doesn\u2019t protect you. You need to be eating small doses of honey regularly for months prior to create this effect. So get busy finding ways to add honey to your diet plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provides Fast <\/b><\/span>Energy<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many athletes swear by using honey as a quick and easy natural energy source for the body. Perhaps you\u2019ve even seen an endurance athlete you\u2019ve been around carrying a little packet of honey, so you\u2019ve seen this fact in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honey contains 80% natural sugars, and the remainder is a mix of water and natural vitamins, minerals, and pollen. This makes it great for delivering energy when you need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s also unique about honey is that because it mixes glucose and fructose, it provides superior energizing benefits. The glucose will move into the muscle tissues to help power contractions there, but the fructose will actually help to restore liver glycogen, which helps you stay energized when glycogen levels are low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether you feel like you\u2019re running on empty or you are about to embark in some serious endurance exercise training, honey is a perfect choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Wealth Of Antioxidants<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When considering adding anything to your diet plan, it\u2019s important to consider the weight loss benefits it may provide and think about how it will impact your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is where honey shines. Honey offers a strong dose of antioxidants, which will help combat free radical damage, which can lead to oxidation and disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of this, these antioxidants will also help strengthen the immune system, giving you better protection against various diseases and illnesses. Research published by the BioMed Research International journal noted that when subjects consumed four tablespoons of honey per day for about one month, they showed a much higher blood level of polyphenols, important disease-fighting compounds, than those who didn\u2019t consume the honey (2)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of this, honey is also a rich source of a particular antioxidant called pinocembrin, which has been shown in some research to possibly help combat cancer. It appears to help induce apoptosis (cell death) of cancerous cells, killing them off before they impact you (3)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serves As A Sleep <\/b><\/span>Enhancer<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Struggling to fall asleep at night? If so, honey may be a great solution. Many people toss and turn at night, suffering poor quality sleep when they finally do fall asleep. This is very unfortunate because sleep is one of those things that is absolutely imperative to proper health and daily functioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honey may provide release in a few different ways. First, it helps to restore the liver\u2019s glycogen supply and this helps to prevent middle-of-the-night hunger. Ever wake up at night and feel like you have a pit in your stomach? This is often because your liver glycogen levels, which have been fueling the body during the overnight fast, are now depleted. Restoring this level before going to bed helps ensure that you have enough to last you until morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second way in which honey may help you fall asleep more easily is because it contains melatonin, which is the natural hormone that is produced by the pineal gland that triggers the brain to know it\u2019s time to sleep. Melatonin is responsible for regulating your sleep\/wake cycle (also known as your circadian rhythm<\/strong><\/em>), so when it becomes night, you become drowsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s times, however, with our bright computer screens, TV screens, and constant stimulation, the body\u2019s natural release of melatonin may not be quite what it used to be. As a result, many of us lay awake in bed, unable to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honey gives your brain that jump start to trigger it to know it\u2019s getting late, and you start feeling sleepy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helps To Heal <\/b><\/span>Wounds<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a wound of any sort, whether you cut yourself while cutting your steak or scraped your knee by accident, honey may help give you the boost of healing that you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note, however, that to reap maximum healing benefits, you aren\u2019t actually looking to ingest honey, but rather, you want to put it directly on the wound itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honey helps to provide natural antibacterial and wound healing benefits, so this helps keep the area nice and clean while promoting cell regeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, honey is also great for helping to produce hydrogen peroxide in the body, which helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burn patients are also often treated with honey, applied directly to the problem area every 24 to 48 hours. While obviously if you have a very severe burn, seek medical treatment. don\u2019t just apply honey, but if it\u2019s a very minor burn, a honey wrap may do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manage Your Common <\/b><\/span>Cold<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No one likes being sick. You\u2019re tired, miserable, and have a sore throat and hacking cough that won\u2019t let up. When you\u2019re ill, you want nothing but to get better \u2013 fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honey may help provide you with some relief. Raw honey has been shown to be a great way to help treat coughs, in fact, possibly even better than over-the-counter cough syrups. So if you\u2019re someone who simply can\u2019t stand the taste of cough syrup, doesn\u2019t want the drowsy side effects they can cause, or is looking for a cheaper option, honey may do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A single serving of honey can help dramatically reduce mucus secretion and lower the number of coughing incidents in ill (4). The typical recommended dose here is to take a half to two teaspoons of honey at bedtime. This is also a great remedy for children who may be more reluctant to take cough syrup and who can\u2019t swallow pills. Just note that you should never give honey to any child under the age of one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there you have the many benefits that honey has to offer. As you can see, it\u2019s one food that you don\u2019t want to do without. Remember that since you are buying raw honey, you should not heat it above 95 degrees F, so avoid cooking with it and, instead, add it to foods that are already cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some great ways to add honey to your day include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a7 Try mixing some into a bowl of cooked oatmeal for added sweetness
\u00a7 Add it to plain Greek yogurt \u2013 it\u2019s far healthier than any sweetener they are adding in.
\u00a7 Serve it over freshly baked bread
\u00a7 Mix it with some olive oil and other ingredients for a delicious and naturally sweet salad dressing.
\u00a7 Mix it with plain mustard to create a delicious honey mustard dip.
\u00a7 Spread it over some cooked protein pancakes rather than using maple syrup
\u00a7 Add it to coffee. It\u2019s not just for tea!
\u00a7 Use it to create a marinade for raw vegetables. Just be sure this is a dish that won\u2019t be cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for little ways to add honey to your daily diet; you\u2019ll almost certainly find a way or two to incorporate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
