The manufacture of this sweet substance is fascinating. It begins when the bees eat the flowers, collect nectar flowers in their mouths. This nectar then mixes with special enzymes (invertase, amylase and catalase) in the saliva of bees. This is a process that transforms this alchemical honey mixture.
Bees relate this substance to the hive where they deposit it into the cells of the walls of the hive. Palpitation of their wings provides the necessary ventilation to reduce the moisture, making the honey ready for consumption.
A U.S. study in 2008 showed that rats who ate sugary food took 23% less weight than those who ate foods containing refined sugar ( after a year or one year in rats is equivalent to 20 years in humans) .Honey researchers used was rich in antioxidants so it was possible that it helped to burn more fat. Other studies have made the link between foods rich in antioxidants ( like green tea for example) and the acceleration of metabolism.But all types of honey are rich in antioxidants. Another U.S. study found that the most common type of honey ( called " Clover" ) does not contain more antioxidants than refined sugar.What to remember : Studies that combine honey consumption to weight loss are at best preliminary. Add any sweetener to your diet without removing another can cause weight gain.100 grams of honey provide 304 calories and contain 82 g of sugar ( 17 g of water and , over 1 g of various macro and micronutrients) . Needless to say that honey can make you fat if you do not eat in moderation.
Provide good energy to the liver is essential to optimize metabolism glucode during sleep and physical exertion . The honey is an ideal substance for liver energy because it contains a nearly 1:1 ratio of fructose to glucose .Fructose unlocks the enzyme in the liver cell nuclei which are needed to convert glucose to glycogen ( the form in which the sugar is stored in the liver and muscle cells ) . Proper storage of glycogen in the liver is essential to provide the brain with fuel when we sleep and do exercise for long periods.When stocks are insufficient glycogen , the brain triggers the release of stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol) to convert muscle protein into glucose. A repetition of metabolic stress ( generated when cortisol glycogen deposits are no longer optimally during sleep ) with time causes a dysfunction of glucose metabolism , insulin resistance , diabetes, increased risk of cardiovascular disease and obesity.What to remember : honey helps to better manage blood sugar in the blood.
An American study has tested the honey then Dextromethorphan (an analgesic which is the active ingredient of most drugs against cough) to treat cough in children. She found that honey is more effective.
The sweetness could be the active ingredient of honey. Part of the brain that stores the tastes and one that causes coughing are located one next to the other, then smell something sweet could affect cough, according to officials of the study.
What to remember: if you are trying to relieve cough of a child or yours, try honey. Do not give a child under 12 months of age. This sweet substance can contain spores of a bacterium that causes botulism (a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by a bacterial neurotoxin, botulinum toxin), a disease that the immature immune system of a child can not bear.
