Honey is a great choice of a food item that is often
overlooked for its value. As natural sweeteners, honey and sugar are neck and
neck, but where honey really pulls ahead is in its medicinal values. Honey has
a variety of nutrients, like B and C vitamins, iron and magnesium, and has
powerful anti-fungal, antibacterial, and antiseptic qualities. These facts
combined together mean that honey is a digestive aid and can even be used to
topically treat injuries like cuts and burns. Also, honey never goes bad.
Literally, it can’t go bad. As moisture leaves it, the honey will take on a
crystalline structure, but a little heat will melt the honey back to its more
usable state.
So, the next time you are
feeling a little under the weather or have a small burn or cut that needs
treatment, pull out the honey. What could it hurt?
