The Benefits of Honey

Honey, particularly if it is in its purest form, can help with many diseases. But even pasteurized honey can be used as a general health benefit. It is something that should be in everyone's diet.

Honey will not spoil or rot although often when it crystallizes, some think it is no longer good. By placing it in hot water, it will liquidize. Honey also will have no side effects. It has been discovered to reduce the cholesterol in the arteries and offers relief for those who have difficulty breathing while strengthening their heart. As people age, honey, especially if mixed with cinnamon, will help to revitalize and energize them.

Arthritis patients who have taken honey daily have discovered that their pain has been relieved and mobility restored. When used in a tea, it will assist with bladder infections too. Honey also helps those suffering from colds. It clears the sinuses and I discovered that daily use of honey has almost eliminated the numerous colds I used to be subject to each year.

A combination of honey and cinnamon powder also strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Regular use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles that fight bacteria.

Recent studies have shown that honey helps body strength. Studies indicate that senior citizens who use honey and cinnamon powder are more alert and flexible. If taken in the morning in hot water and again in the afternoon when energy decreases, will improve the body's vitality in about a week.

It has also been indicated that honey, and especially when taken in combination with cinnamon powder on a daily basis will increase general overall health as well as improving the condition of the skin.

In the last year that I have used honey on a daily basis, I've noticed the difference in my skin, my energy level and that I have managed to avoid having colds even though I spend a lot of time with children.
