Hello.

Does anybody know what the health benefits of honey are?
I've been adding it to a cup of green tea, once daily for its antibacterial properties, but was wondering if there are any other health benfits for my physical or mental well being.

I struggle with my mental health, having to take an antipsychotic and a antidepressennt each day..I become foggy, become forgetful and have a memory that is impacted because of the stress. I end up yelling when i'm isolated, usually because I feel overwhelmed from the stress and anxiety.

I started to walk and do some light weight lifting and have seen a positive improvment along with a diet that provides adequate vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Hi Jazz,
I believe Daily consumption of honey has a beneficial effect on the level of antioxidant compounds in the body that can fight excess cholesterol. Research shows that the antioxidants contained in honey can prevent arteries from narrowing. i suggest you to have a spoon full of honey regular!

I suppose the benefits would vary depending on which main plants it comes from,not all from flowers apparently (see wiki entry for pine honey)and there is a warning via ayuraveda that you nee to let hot drinks cool a little before adding it as too high a temperature can create toxins.

Honey is a natural antiseptic, so it can help to fight off or ward away colds. I also read today (on a honey jar’s label) that it helps to reduce inflammation of the brain, allowing for better moods and better blood flow to the head.
