Is there any healing or health benefits to eating honey?!


Question: Is there any healing or health benefits to eating honey.?
Or is it pretty much the same as eating a spoonful of sugar.?

What about when applied to a wound, is that beneficial.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Actually there is good evidence that honey does have some modest antibacterial properties. It's not clear if there is some specific chemical in honey, or whether it is just from what is known as the "osmotic effect" of high concentrations of sugar. This ONLY works when applied to a wound, not when taken internally. It does NOT cure cancer or any other diseases.

The osmotic effect is why things like jams and jellies don't get bacterial growth (though they are susceptible to molds) Basically, a high concentration creates an osmotic gradient, drawing fluid out of bacterial cells, thereby dehydrating and killing them.Health Question & Answer

There is definitely a BIG difference between the two.

Sugar is a refined product. It makes the blood acid and it has only negative effects on us. It is the proven direct cause of many health problems.

Honey is on the contrary very beneficial. It is a natural antibiotic which has better effect on bacteria than antibiotics (especially on antibiotic-resistant bacteria). It's a conserving agent and is very good for the skin.

It protects and heals wounds, scrapes and burns and helps wound tissues regenerate faster.

As far as calories are concerned, they are equivalent and you will put on as much weight with honey as with sugar.

All the best to you!

Honey has anti cancer substances and it stops cancer from spreading.
Its the best for wounds and burns. If u have a very bad burn, apply honey to the area and the burning sensation stops and it won't leave a mark after it heals. In Ayurveda honey and turmeric is used to heal wounds in diabetic patients. Take a glass of warm water, add 2 tablespoons of honey and a tablespoon of fresh lime juice will make u lose your unwanted fat and give u natural immunity. If i go on the list is never ending.Health Question & Answer
