Raw honey benefits for bodybuilding

Posted by: Ron

Eat and use natural, unheated honey for better health

Honey has been harvest from bees for as long as we have records. It’s been called the nectar of the Gods for good reason. It has many exceptional benefits. One thing you need to be aware of, though is the quality of honey you get.

Everything I write only pertains to honey that has never been heated. The low cost honey you see in the aisles of your supermarket in plastic bottles are nothing more than liquid sugar. Worthless.

It takes a lot more time and effort to harvest the honey from the bee’s hive without heating it up. The commercial way is to heat up the hive and pour it out, except that honey loses all its beneficial properties. High quality honey is literally scraped off. It will solidify very quickly and have a much richer taste too (although the taste mainly depends on the type of flower the bees visited.)

Unheated, natural honey is full of enzymes, flavonoids, antioxidants and antimicrobial properties. Because of these properties it:

Improves your digestion and nutrient absorption
Protect you from harmful bacteria
Speeds up healing of wounds and burns, if applied externally
Sooths your throat, relieving irritations from coughing
Calms down your nervous system, if eaten at night, allowing you to sleep better
Regulates blood sugar levels
Builds and nourishes healthy and beautiful skin
Prevents certain types of cancer
Increases friendly bacteria in your gut (certain types of honey contain probiotics)

Make sure you only get honey that has never been heated. Carefully check the labels if you’re buying it in a store or confirm with the bee keeper if you’re buying straight from the source.
