Now a days people are becoming more health conscious. Hence please comment for benefit of our RG friends.Thanks
Dear Marcel M. Lamberechts I do agree with @ Prof Nizar Matar. As I. Am also using honey with wa water since last 30 years and it is working well with me. Let other friends too be benefited. Thanks.
As far as I know, drinking honey/warm water mixture in the morning regularly will give,e.g. these benefits: 1) Helps in reducing weight. 2) Gives energy to the human body. 3) Since honey is antioxidant, then it will aid against cancer. 4) Cleans the digestive system from toxins. 5) Helps in preventing dehydration. 6) Clears a soar throat. 7) Provides some useful nutrients.
Dear Marcel, I have been interested in honey for nearly 30 years. It is listed in RG as one of my skills. The honey really has more advantages than what I mentioned. For example, when I am not capable of sleeping(insomnia), I take one spoon of honey with water& it has worked for me many times. This material is amazing provided that it is "unadulterated". There is always one jar of honey, at least, in my house.
Dear Marcel M. Lamberechts I do agree with @ Prof Nizar Matar. As I. Am also using honey with wa water since last 30 years and it is working well with me. Let other friends too be benefited. Thanks.
I am a big proponent of traditional remedies and honey is in one among them and coconut water another favorite. Thank you Sarwan for raising this relevant theme.
Honey is considered as rasayan (vital revival substance) in Ayurveda. For thousands of years it is used successfully in curing various ailments.
I agree with Dr. Nizar.
Thank you Dr Omkar Singh Kushwah ji for giving your valuable comment and participating in healthy discussion. Yes it is being used since age old time for curing various ailments. Thanks
Just to make a precision that I also consume honey mixed with water or other food components.
For more discussion?
Natural treatments, e.g. honey, consist of a cocktail of molecules. Imagine that each of these molecules will break down into XXX chemical compounds each acting on different parts of the body? How can all these chemical effects and interactions be adequately studied from a physiochemical point of view? Is it enough to understand the end-results: i.e. people either feel better or worse without exactly knowing why?
For those who consume dairy, raw honey in very warm grass-fed whole milk is excellent for sore throat ... and it is great comfort food, especially before sleeping.
Yes Marina; you can try Honey mixed with grated ginger. It helps in caring cold and sour throat effectively. Thanks
Hi Marcel; After consuming honey you will only feel better always with all sort of biochemical reactions of cocktail of molecules. Thanks
Thus, we do not have to know every detailed process in nature to live, to be healthy, .....
Just copying others with former experiences is enough?
Not really, I did not mean it Dear Marcel, Certainly we have to have know each and every details of the biochemical reactions taking place with the use of honey. You have raised very valid and important issues for further discussion. I appreciate them and waiting for comments rom our other RG colleagues. Regards
Honey does contain many materials but some of them are unclassified (you cannot include them under sugars, proteins, minerals, vitamins...). The healing action of honey is not necessarily fast. For example, if one has abdominal trouble or disorder, honey can be used for treating this ailment. The patient cannot be cured from the first drink of honey (the first one may cause diarrhea & also the second one). After cleaning the digestive system from undesired materials & species, the miracle of honey works to noticeable results after the 3rd or 4th cup of honey. My uncle, who was a MD & died few years ago, once cured intestinal cancer in a patient by using Chinese honey. When I discussed the amazing result with him, he stressed upon the amount of the honey dose, as I remember.
Thanks Dr Nizar Matar, Thanks for sharing such an important information related to uses of honey for medicinal purposes. Its use for curing cancer is really amazing. Thanks again.
Hi friends still some other benefits may have to be discussed. Waiting for your open and valuable comments. Regards.
Honey & cinnamon, when combined together, can reduce food cravings resulting in weight loss in a natural way. Honey helps in boosting body metabolism which, in turn, helps the body to burn fat. Upon intake, it doesn’t cause a sugar rush, but is gradually absorbed into the body. On the other hand, cinnamon stabilizes blood sugar levels & increases the metabolism of glucose. Since high blood sugar levels can lead to increased storage of fat, cinnamon helps to prevent this by improving insulin function.
In addition to functioning in the same direction, cinnamon & honey clean parasites, fungi and bacteria in the digestive tract. This magic recipe needs trying in order to be believed: Pour 1 cup of boiling water on a teaspoon of cinnamon in a bowel & leave them until they cool down. Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the cooled liquid & mix. You will be having about 1 cup of this healthy mixture. Talk half of it in the morning & half of it before going to bed preferably on an empty stomach. Besides the above advantages, some men may experience more energy & better sex drive.
Thanks @Dr. Nizar Matar; certainly your contribution will help to our other RG friends. Regards
