Honey - is a sweet viscous product that bees long-term work created from flower nectar or from honeydew (honey drew). In addition to honey bee create a kind of bumble bees, honey wasps and other insects. The first record of the use of honey for human consumption were found in Valencia, Spain. In one of the cave primitive figure resulting approximate 8,000 years ago is shown hunting people in between. In India, 4,000 years ago between used for all disease and as an antidote to a bite poisonous animals. Hippocrates used honey to treat many diseases. This above all natural foods contain virtually all the ingredients necessary for the proper functioning of the human body. It is easy to digest, fully and rapidly exploit the energy that gives honey. Consisting of between 76% sugar; 15-20% water; minerals, proteins, vitamins, acids, essential oils around 6%. Honeydew honey dew or the product of aphids. It appears very rarely during the flick of evergreen or deciduous trees - spruce; fir; pines; birch; chestnut and fig. Aphids and other insects suck plant juices from leaves. Their biochemical action of the sucrose from the leaves turns into a grape or some other kind of complex sugars. This produces honeydew. . Honeydew is a type of honey that contains up to 13 times more minerals than honey which bees make from nectar. It is especially rich in organic content of iron, copper and mangana. Had reduced invert sugar content.
Propolis is a resinous smiles that bees collect from the buds of plants, bark, sap, etc., are collected by worker bees to build with them coming in and going, closing loopholes and with the help of propolis enforce storage honeycomb. Contains over 300 natural biochemical substances and compounds. 55% of various organic resins; 30% wax; phenethyl ester of caffeic acid with anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. The ingredients of propolis induce apoptosis of cancer cells; inhibit the growth of blood vessels that supply cancer cells with foodstuffs; stop further growth and metastasis of cancer cells of the brain, prostate, liver, throat and neck, pancreatic, skin; have expressed anti-inflammatory effect; antibacterial, antiviral, and antiparasitic properties; treated cold symptoms: preventing the appearance of inflammation of the respiratory tract; preventing caries; often shows good effects in removing warts and fungus under the nail etc. .....................
Honey gets its sweetness from the monosaccharides fructose 40-42%, glucose or dextrose 33-34% and about 1-2% of the common sugar, sucrose. It also contains a number of other sugars and aromatic acids. The glycemic index of honey varies from 32 (acacia), and 85 (industrially manufactured between). Because honey contains hydrogen peroxide, is highly acidic environment with low humidity, negative bacteria and is being operated in the most pathogenic organisms. While most microorganisms do not find the composition of honey as a favorable habit, there is a possibility that the honey is masked by the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and is among the should not be given to infants. So intoxicated among children can cause botulism, which can be deadly. Children's digestive and immune system is too weak to destroy nontoxic disputes that create these bacteria. Also, without a physician's approval, among're not supposed to eat people suffering from diabetes.
Nutritional value of honey: the main ingredients of honey are carbohydrates which make up 95-98% of total solids and is expressed between high-calorie foods: 100g honey gives about 300 calories; 1g protein; 0.5 g dietary fiber; contains vitamin C and some B vitamins; of minerals leading potassium; calcium; fluorine; phosphorus; magnesium; Anti-Oxidant mineral selenium and many trace minerals....... Honeydew contains up to 13 times more minerals in relation to the floral honey; rich in amino acids; comprises citric; apple; acetic and succinic acid; number of derivatives of inulin, and chlorophyll; rich in plant pigments and enzymes, etc.
The healing properties of honey: honey contains about 300 different bioactive chemicals and compounds necessary for proper human metabolism; in itself is a natural antioxidant (in an Egyptian pyramid is found Bowls with honey older than 2000 years in nutritionally correct, edible condition); between the great stimulator of the immune system with probiotic powers; anti-cancer properties; prolongs heart health; renews and purifies the blood; improves mental ability; assist the work of the liver; protects the kidneys and digestive system; protects the organs of vision; acacia honey due to low glycemic index can be used even by diabetics - a positive effect on the maintenance of blood glucose levels; propolis contains 38 active flavonoids with antioxidant action of the; applying propolis on the skin increases its regenerative power and up to 200 times; anticancer; antibacterial - more per gram positive bacteria; Propolis is a good prevention and treatment of influenza and viral diseases; antiseptic action - effectively helps with the appearance of so-called. nocturnal dry cough; anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action of the; Royal Jelly is a mine of pantothenic acid which is necessary for growth and repair of cells all over the body - rejuvenates the entire body, removes the body and mental fatigue; Honey has the power of penetration in the peripheral parts of the body and preserves the health of the skin and peripheral tissues.
About 30 different flavonoids; Numerous enzymes; phenolic acids; ascorbic acid and carotenoids its action of the human body to make between law antioxidant bomb.
List of flavonoids found in plain honey: quercetin, which has the strongest and longest action of the biochemical; kaempferol; luteolin; myricetin; Pinocembrion; chrysin; apigenin; hesperitin; galangin; pinobanksin. Flavonoids are responsible for the color, flavor, aroma of honey, and are important for human health. Its antioxidant action to protect and rejuvenate the entire body.
A list of phenolic acids: coffeine acid; gallic; ferulic; coumarin; ellagic acid and chlorogenic acid. Almost all super powerful antioxidants capacities with potential anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects.
Enzymes from honey replace some of the enzymes in the human body, the body stops producing after the age of forty years of life. They are also due to extreme action of the antibacteric useful in healing the difficult treatable wounds.
P.S. - If during heated above 45 degrees Celsius, its flavor will diminish.
