Although we are tired of hearing that it is a healthy alternative to sugar, there are probably many benefits of honey that you do not know yet.
By now you have heard and read a lot of times that honey is a healthy alternative to sugar but what you still don't know are all the benefits of honey that we can take advantage of if we include it in our diet.
Although before opting to take more honey and less sugar to sweeten our desserts, something that is important must be taken into account and that is that when talking about the beneficial nutritional properties of honey, they always refer to raw or artisanal honey, the which is obtained by cold filtering the honey that is extracted directly from the hives, since honey loses all these excellent properties when it is subjected to temperatures above 40ºC, making it simply become a sweetener.
This is what happens with most of the industrially produced honeys that, in order to avoid its crystallization and that it is always liquid, is subjected to heating processes that destroy almost all its properties.
What is honey and what is it made of?
Honey is a dense and sweet liquid that bees produce from the nectar of flowers, they store it in the combs of hives and that is where it matures. It is then collected and filtered to remove impurities.
Although there are several types of honey depending on the type of flowers from which it comes and the chemical composition may vary a little from one to another, in general, honey is made up of:
• Carbohydrates. Honey naturally contains glucose and fructose. Raw honey also contains complex trisaccharides that are part of the pollen that is present in artisanal honeys.
• Proteins and amino acids. Honey, apart from essential amino acids, contains proteins in the form of enzymes such as amylase, invertase, glucosidase and other free amino acids such as proline.
• Minerals. Mainly potassium, although calcium, phosphorus, iron and magnesium are also present.
• Vitamins. The vitamin C content stands out mainly, but it also provides vitamins of group B and vitamin K.
Types of honey
Depending on the type of nectar from which the bees draw to produce honey, different types of honey are distinguished:
• Flower honey, which are those in which the nectar comes from flowers and can be of two types:
• Monofloral , when at least 70% of the nectar comes from the same type of flower, such as chestnut, heather, orange -orange blossom honey-, eucalyptus, blackberry -silva honey-, acacia, ...
• Multiflorals, or "Thousand Flowers" honeys when the nectar comes from different floral varieties without a clear predominance of any of them.
• Mielatos or honeydew honey, are the honeys in which the nectar is obtained from the sap of some trees such as pines or oaks.
Peripheral neuropathy, a result of damage to the nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves), often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in the hands and feet. It can also affect other areas and body functions including digestion, urination and circulation. Your peripheral nervous system sends information from your brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) to the rest of your body. The peripheral nerves also send sensory information to the central nervous system.
