What Happens to Your Body When You Start Eating Honey

Winnie The Pooh, Shaggy and Scooby Doo, and even Popeye or Garfield all loved honey. Our bet is you love honey as well, and you are right to do so.

Honey starts as flower nectar that gets broken down into simple sugars stored inside the honeycomb. The design of the honeycomb and the perpetual fanning of the bees’ wings triggers evaporation, creating that sweet liquid honey.

The type of flowers influences the color, taste and fragrance of the honey. So, there are tons of honey types out there. But why is honey so good and so appreciated since ancient times? Let’s not forget that it was once thought of as the food of the gods. What happens when you start eating honey every day? What are the benefits? This is what we are about to find out in this video.

I got MRSA from a clinic. They had me on antibiotics for months with no improvement. I told my doKtor I was going to put honey on the wound. She went into a panic telling me it could make me worse, maybe kill me. Yeah, right. A week after applying the local, raw, unpasteurized honey the infection was gone.

As a beekeeper for nearly 48 years and 81 years old on no medication I would enforce that honey should not be heated in any way even when extracting it this preserves the life giving forces in honey and the flavour of honey

I have honey every day no sugar at all in my diet and I’m 75. Good heart good health for the most part

[jermccann]

I grow weed and the bees love their flowers. Best honey ever. 😊

I'm a firm believer in that 'everything we need as a species is easily available in nature - we only get ill if we forget that fact.'

[richgaffney]

As a type 2 diabetic, I use raw unfiltered processed honey. It breaks down in my system better than regular processed honey Yes, it is local.

I've had beekeepers put their hives on my 70 acres of rural land for 6 years now, and at the end of ech year I get gifted a couple cases of bottled honey. I give it all away during the holiday season, I have yet to use any myself! My go to sweetner for years now has been organic maple syrup, from Costco. Never sugar. As of right now, I have an unopened 6 qt. case of honey out in the garage, I will open it and tomorrow morning use it instead of the maple syrup on my oatmeal, after watching your video!

I keep beehives in my back yard. Nothing compares to real, unpasteurized, naturally made ( not sugar -water fed bees). Every hive produces its own honey, no two are exactly alike in color, all depending on which wild flowers the hive prefers.
Yes pure raw honey works as an anti microbial " Med honey" is a commercial product used for non healing wounds.

Having tended a few hives I can offer this remedy:
when stung by a bee, once you remove the stinger, apply a drop of honey on the wound
It will immediately neutralize the poison and act as a temporary bandage.
Also, honey is a natural antiseptic, and will keep a wound clean until you can get it treated by a health professional.
Note: when a bee gets ready to seal a cell; it places a drop of poison (formic acid) in the cell. It inverts the sugar, making it more easily digestable; and preserving it nealy indefinitely.

I had a persistent bacterial skin infection for over a decade which I couldn't rid of. Traditional doctors and dermatologists had no clue and only made it worse. I tried SO many holistic/natural things as well (including garlic, internal and external, iodine, various essential oils), spent thousands over the years on Chinese medicine and stuff, nothing got rid of it completely. Organic honey from Costco, applied to the skin, cleared it up. Amazing stuff! One of the most incredible topical antibiotics known.

I like to eat plain yogurt..sweetened with a little raw honey.

Note: It's important to get local honey to help with your seasonal allergies.

Just returned from a month vacation in Greece. Brought back honey made from wild flowers, cypress tree, oak, pine and thyme. A pure delight!! I eat honey on a daily basis. I am 62 years old and I can't remember the last time I was sick.

[garyking]

You missed the bold fact that local raw honey also is a great way to beat allergies down to a minimum impact. It may take years, but your immune system responds to the plant compounds found by your local bees in the pollen of flowers all around your area. I know that this would only make it to #11 on your list, but for me, it was the #1 reason why I started eating a tablespoon of raw local honey in the morning and right before bedtime years ago. My allergist first recommended it and now I tell everyone I know who suffers from changes in the seasons.

They forget to mention a few things. First in order to work for treating burns and skin abrasions it has to be unpasteurized and unfiltered. It has to be the same to aid in sore throat and also must be taken plain by spoon and you shouldn’t drink for as long as possible after eating the spoonful.

[michaelbailey]

I eat a table spoon of raw honey a day, this starts my day. I've had no colds, sniffles, or coughs in over 20 yrs.

[LukeNukem]

Dealt with some pretty bad stomach ulcers and a hiatal hernia most of my adult life. Started taking two tablespoons of honey a day and my last checkup showed my stomach ulcers have virtually disappeared.

Here's a rule of thumb about heating honey: Beeswax melts at about 125'F, so I say if you're heating it enough to melt the container it naturally comes in, you may also damage the useful enzymes.

I put the cap at 105'F, but only because my honey house (where I work to extract and bottle honey) sometimes gets that hot. Supermarket honey is heated to 160'F and pushed through a particle filter.

I don't cook with honey. I add a touch of honey after. Slice and fan-out a pear, bake with a little butter, cinnamon, and maybe pecans or walnuts... drizzle honey and serve warm.

I do add honey to my hot coffee, which I'm sure breaks down the honey, but it doesn't harm the flavor. Coffee is perfectly brewed at 195"F, and in the cup it's about 160-175'F. I boil water in a pyrex measure, and pour to an empty cup... this cools the water and pre-warms the cup... pour that 190-200'F water back to the pyrex, then pour-over to make coffee.

I eat about 1/2 gallon of honey per month. I don't claim honey has medicinal qualities, but its sugars are about 50/50 glucose/sucrose, so... I get a lot less sucrose in my diet.

If you want to reduce plant allergies, I recommend local pollen over honey... You can put it in salads, a peanut butter sandwich, add it to your granola trail mix... Just don't cook it.

Local honey? If you live on the East Coast, all the way from Maine to Alabama... Same Appalachian mountain range, and basically the same trees and plants.

first of all, i have absolutely no confidence in the world health organization at all!

My mother used to give us honey, whiskey and lemon juice for coughing. just a tablespoon but it worked
