While honey is used as a remedy, it also has many other qualities that make it superior to any other substance, natural or unnatural. Here are some of these qualities.<\/p>\n

Easily digested.<\/strong><\/em><\/span> Despite its high acid content, honey is easily digested by the most sensitive stomachs because sugar molecules in honey can convert into other sugars (e.g., fructose converts to glucose). It helps the kidneys and intestines to function better.<\/p>\n

Low calories.<\/strong><\/em><\/span> Another quality of honey is that, when it is compared with the same amount of sugar, it gives 40 percent fewer calories to the body. Although it gives great energy to the body, it does not add weight.<\/p>\n

Rapid diffusion.<\/strong><\/em><\/span> When accompanied by mild water, honey diffuses into the bloodstream in seven minutes. Its free sugar molecules make the brain function better, as the brain is the largest consumer of sugar.<\/p>\n

Energy for blood formation.<\/strong><\/em><\/span> Honey provides an important part of the energy needed by the body for blood formation. In addition, it helps in cleansing the blood. It has some positive effects in regulating and facilitating blood circulation. It also functions as a protection against capillary problems and arteriosclerosis.<\/p>\n

Antibacterial property.<\/strong><\/em><\/span> This bacteria-killing property of honey is named the “inhibition effect.” Experiments conducted on honey show that its antibacterial property increases twofold when it is diluted in water. It is very interesting to note that newly born bees in the colony are nourished with diluted honey by the bees responsible for them \u2014 as if they know this feature of honey.<\/p>\n
