Answer 1

Yes. Honey is very good to consume. For your entire body. And it's also good for your health, too.

Honey is composed of sugars like glucose and fructose and minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium chlorine, sulphur, iron and phosphate. It contains vitamins B1, B2, C, B6, B5 and B3 all of which change according to the qualities of the nectar and pollen. Besides the above, copper, iodine, and zinc exist in it in small quantities. Several kinds of hormones are also present in it.

Approximately one half of the human diet is derived directly or indirectly from crops pollinated by bees. Today honeybees are an essential part of a healthy agriculture economy. If you have allergies, honey can be beneficial. If you eat honey that is local to your area, it may prevent your seasonal allergies. Bees use the pollen from local plants and eventually it ends up in your honey.

Honey may also be good for your skin. It has the ability to attract water. You can use honey instead of alpha hydroxy masks because of its high content of the acid. It is also safe for sensitive skin.

You can also use it as a moisturizing mask for your skin as well as your hair. To use it as a conditioner, mix the honey with olive oil. Be sure to wash your hair thoroughly before you go outside.

If you have a sore throat, take some honey. Due to its natural anti-inflammatory effect, it will help to heal the wounds more quickly.It also has different phytochemicals--chemicals found in plants and different foods--that kill viruses, bacteria, and fungus making it a good substitute for wound dressings. The taste may also take your mind off the pain.

There is evidence that honey diluted in water will help with your stomachaches and dehydration.

Too much of anything isn't healthy, but some honey is good.

Honey vs sugar, honey doesn't create swift raise and drop in blood sugar that sugar does.

I also know of many people with alergies that eating local organic honey helped. Expecially with hey-fever. It is a homeopathic type thing. You are ingesting what you are sneezing about and thus creating an immunity for it. Something to that effect.

It tastes satisfactory on toast, pancakes, waffles. It is extraordinary on cereal and combined in yogurt. It is satisfactory as a snack on apples. Of path, there is honey dipped hen, and honey baked ham. In reality, honey is a candy style to position on close to whatever you favor. Try baking an apple with honey. Or consuming a cup of scorching tea with honey.

.Honey is a sweet and viscous fluid produced by honey bees from the nectar of flowers. According to the United States National Honey Board 2003 and various international food regulations, "honey stipulates a pure product that does not allow for the addition of any other substance...this includes, but is not limited to, water or other sweeteners". This article refers exclusively to the honey produced by honey bees (the genus Apis); honey produced by other bees or other insects has very different properties.

Honey is significantly sweeter than table sugar and has attractive chemical properties for baking.[citation needed] Honey has a distinctive flavor which leads some people to prefer it over sugar and other sweeteners.

Liquid honey does not spoil. Because of its high sugar concentration, it kills most bacteria by crenation.[citation needed] Natural airborne yeasts cannot become active in it because the moisture content is too low.[citation needed] Natural, raw honey varies from 14% to 18% moisture content.[citation needed] As long as the moisture content remains under 18%, virtually no organism can successfully multiply to significant amounts in honey.[citation needed] Importantly, honey, which frequently contains dormant endospores of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, can be dangerous to infants as the endospores can transform into toxin-producing bacteria in the infant's immature intestinal tract, leading to illness and even death[1] (See "Precautions" below).

The study of pollens and spores in raw honey (melissopalynology) can determine floral sources of honey.[citation needed] Because bees carry an electrostatic charge, and can attract other particles, the same techniques of melissopalynology can be used in area environmental studies of radioactive particles, dust, or particulate pollution.[citation needed]

A main effect of bees collecting nectar to make honey is pollination, which is crucial for flowering plants.[citation needed]
