Benefits of Honey

Honey - The Wonderful

HONEY is a carbohydrate that can easily be assimilated by the body. It is a singularly acceptable, practical and most effective aliment to generate heat, create and replace energy, and furthermore, to form certain tissues. Honey also supplies the organism with substances for the formation of enzymes and other biological ferments to promote oxidation. It has distinct germicidal properties and in this respect greatly differs from milk which is an exceptionally good breeding-ground for bacteria. Honey is a most valuable food, which today is not sufficiently appreciated. Its frequent if not daily use is vitally important.

The universal and natural craving for sweets of some kind proves best that there is a true need for them in the human system. Children, who expend lots of energy, have a real "passion" for sweets. This is really instinct. Proteins will replace and build tissues but it is the function and assignment of carbohydrates to create and replace heat and energy. Cane-sugar and starches must undergo during digestion a process of inversion, where sucrose is broken down to glucose and frucotse. In honey this is already accomplished because it has been predigested by the bees, inverted and concentrated. This saves the stomach additional labor.

The consummation of this pre-digestive act is accomplished by the enzymes invertase, amylase and catalase, which are produced by the worker bee in such large quantities that they can be found in every part of their bodies. However, there is plenty of these enzymes left in honey for our benefit.

Humans have used honey as a natural food, as a sweetener, for medical use, for beautification and for many other purposes for centuries.
