Honey is composed mostly of carbohydrates such as simple sugars (glucose and fructose) as well as water (about 20%), minerals (calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, among others), organic acids (acetic acid, citric acid) as well as B vitamins, vitamin C, D and E. Honey also has a considerable content of antioxidants (flavonoids and phenolics).
Honey is an important supplement to human food due to not only its high energy value, but also the presence of substances beneficial to our body's balance, such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
Man has used honey since ancient times. Over the centuries, humans began to capture swarms of bees and installed them in “artificial hives.” The development and improvement of handling techniques allowed for the increase of honey production and prevented damage to the hives when extracting honey. With the “domestication” of bees for the production of honey, additional byproducts could be harvested from bees including bee pollen, royal jelly, apitoxin and wax.
Honey is the only naturally sweet food that contains proteins and various minerals and vitamins essential to our health. In addition to a high energy value, it has several medicinal benefits and antibacterial properties. In addition to being very tasty, it is a very versatile food that can strengthen the immune system, improve digestive capacity and even relieve constipation. In addition, honey is considered antiseptic, antioxidant, antirheumatic, and soothing.
Honey has been recommended to treat cases of anemia, asthma, bronchopneumonia, bronchitis, flu, hoarseness and cough. Honey can also significantly B enefits improve intestinal transit due to its laxative virtues.
