Ancient Greek athletes consumed honey to boost their energy and performance levels during Olympics events as it contains glucose and fructose, known to produce tremendous reserves of glycogen in the liver.
Having a
spoonful of unprocessed honey before bed can support
your brain function. The fructose is stored as energy
reserves in the liver, ready to fuel the brain
overnight.
Indeed, honey boosts the immune system and has an
antibacterial effect internally and externally, helping
the body to heal, reports the Daily Mail.
Colds are caused by viruses and honey is a natural
antiviral. In a Pennsylvania State College of Medicine
study, a spoonful of honey outperformed over-the-counter
cold remedies, according to a Penn State statement.
Research in 2007 by Shone Blair at Sydney University
concluded that honey dressings for superbug wound
infections should be used as a 'first choice'.
Honey supports friendly gut bacteria, aiding digestion,
and is good for those with irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS) and thrush. According to previous studies, one
should consume take two teaspoons three times a day for
gastric ulcers.
