When is the best time of day to consume Honey?
Usually the doctors recommend honey to be taken empty stomach early in the morning as it gives an instant kick and energy boost which is enough to counter an entire day. Also, while going to bed, a spoonful of honey not only gives a good night's sleep but also helps in digestion and relaxation of mind and body.
How much Honey can I consume each day?
Honey is still a form of sugar and intake should be moderate. For those watching their sugar intake the American Heart Association recommends that women get no more than 100 calories a day from added sugars; men no more than 150 calories a day. This is a little over two tablespoons for women and three tablespoons for men
Few things about Honey you didn't know
HONEY AS CURRENCY
Back in the 11th century, Germans held honey as a high-valued commodity. So much so, lords of Germany used to force peasants to make payments to them in honey. The prized honey was highly sought after as it was the perfect ingredient for sweetening beer.
WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING HONEY?
Honey has long been used for medicinal purposes. Due to its anti-bacterial properties, honey has been used for a variety of ills including cuts, burns, infections, stomach ulcers, and more. Honey is the only known food which has all the ingredients needed to keep you alive. It contains water, vitamins, minerals, and necessary enzymes to give the body energy. Pinocembrin, an antioxidant is also found in honey and is effective at improving the functioning of the human brain. Honey also has antioxidant levels similar to that of apples, spinach, strawberries, and oranges.
1. LOCAL HONEY FOR ALLERGY HELP
Honey has been shown to help treat seasonal allergies. Sufferers can use locally produced honey to build up immunity to local plants which trigger allergies. One teaspoon of honey each day will allow your system to build up immunity to pollen before the season begins. Local honey is required because it contains the allergens of the local plants.
2. HONEY IS A NATURAL SOOTHER
In addition to the many medicinal purposes honey can serve, it is also a very popular ingredient in natural home remedies. Honey is often used in personal care products like shampoos, conditioners, and lotions. It is also a popular natural remedy for soothing sore throats and quieting coughs, with some loyalists believing honey works better than any over the counter medication.
3. IT MAY HELP BEAT HANGOVERS
Fructose speeds up the oxidation of alcohol in the liver. Honey is roughly equal parts glucose and fructose, so it has the potential to cause this reaction. However, studies that looked at honey's ability to increase alcohol metabolism are using about 2 ounces of honey (8 tablespoons) per 25 grams of alcohol, which would be about 480 calories worth of honey. We wouldn't recommend consuming that many calories worth of honey in one day.
4. IT MAY HELP HEAL YOUR CUTS AND BURNS
Some research shows that the topical application of honey on minor to moderate wounds may speed up healing.
5. IT MAY EASY COUGHS
Small studies found that children's coughs decreased with given honey. (And it certainly feels soothing going down when your throat is raw from hacking.)
6. IT’S SWEETER THAN SUGAR
Per teaspoon, honey contains 20 calories, 5 grams of sugar and no fat. Granulated sugar has 15 calories, 4 grams of sugar and no fat per teaspoon. Honey is slightly sweeter, so you can use a bit less -- so the calories probably are about equivalent to granulated sugar when you account for using less honey.
