PURE HONEY

    Pure honey is a fluid-like syrup, honey is viscous and sweet taste, produced by bees and other insects from the nectar of flowers. The most effective types of bees for producing honey is Apis dorsata. These include the Asian bee bees produce honey that is most flattering. The bees make nests only one layer that hangs on a tree branch, in an open ceiling, or in the cliff. If the bees are in the nest nectar has been removed from the nectar of honey sacs contained in the abdomen and worked together with other bees, if the nectar is finely placed in a cell, if the cell is full will be closed and it ferments. The sweet taste of honey is caused by elements of the monosaccharides fructose and glucose, and has a sweet taste similar to sugar.

   Pure honey contains mainly fructose (about 38.5%) and glucose (about 31.0%), making it similar to a synthetic sugar syrup, which is about 48% fructose, 47% glucose, and sucrose 5%. Honey remaining carbohydrates include maltose, sucrose, and other complex carbohydrates. Like all the other nutritive sweeteners, honey contains mostly sugar and contains only a little amount of vitamin or mineral. Honey also contains small amounts of several compounds thought to function as antioxidants, including chrysin, pinobanksin, vitamin C, catalase, and pinocembrin.

    Some benefit of honey is lowering blood sugar levels and lower cholesterol. Although sweeter than sugar, honey has a glycemic index (GI) is low because it is absorbed into the blood stream gradually. You who have diabetes should reduce foods high glycemic index because it would encourage a surge in blood glucose. Honey is the safest alternative sweetener than sugar or artificial sugar. Some studies even suspect honey can lower blood glucose. Minerals and natural vitamins in honey also helps reduce levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) in the body. Cure wounds. Pure honey contains glucose and an enzyme called glucose oxidase. In the right conditions, can break down glucose honey into hydrogen peroxide, a substance that is a strong antiseptic. To become active and break down glucose honey, glucose oxidase requires an environment with a pH of 5.5 to 8.0 and sodium. PH pure honey ranges between 3.2 and 4.5 is too low to activate the enzyme. Skin and body fluids (eg blood) has a relatively high pH and sodium so as to provide the right conditions for the formation of hydrogen peroxide.

    Cure cough. Dextromethorphan (DM) in honey can cure cough at night for children and improve the quality of their sleep. In a study published in Pediatrics, children who drank two teaspoons of honey 30 minutes before going to bed coughing decreased intensity compared with those who did not drink honey. Can soften and moisturize the skin of normal (pure honey), You can get these by applying honey directly on the surface of the skin. Let stand about 30 minutes and then cleaned with cold water. Do at least 2 times a week. Can increase stamina.
