The University of Illinois has a faculty that specializes in honey bee research. In one of their recent studies, scientists concluded that daily consumption of four tablespoons of honey mixed into a 16-ounce glass of water (total two cups) improved the antioxidant levels of the blood stream. This study was conducted on men age 18 - 68 years old. As such, you are never too old to benefit from drinking honey.

Surprisingly, honey contains as much antioxidants as spinach, apples, oranges or strawberries. Antioxidants help the body to counter the damaging effects of cholesterol and aging. Antioxidants prevent the cholesterol in our blood from being oxidized (hardened), lowers the risk of cholesterol clogging blood vessels and thereby lowers the risk of strokes and heart attack.

Honey is also believed to have anti-aging benefits because the antioxidants in the sweet nectar serve to neutralize the free radicals which are responsible for damaging our cells. In fact, history has it that honey was a highly sought-after delicacy in ancient times because of its medicinal and anti-aging properties.

Honey is a natural humectant. This means that honey, when exposed to air, would absorb moisture from the atmosphere naturally. This explains the role of this in cosmetics as a moisturizer. It also contains several enzymes which are believed to be antibacterial in nature. As such, honey could be used for treating minor wounds. Since it moisturizes and leaves the skin soft and supple, the wound has a chance to heal with minimal scarring.

Today, we have a wide selection of honey available off the shelves. So here is a quick tip on choosing honey. Generally speaking, the darker the honey, the higher its mineral contents, the higher its pH (more alkaline and better detoxification properties) and the stronger its aroma would be. Some of the common minerals found in honey include potassium, iron, manganese, magnesium and sodium - all of which play essential roles in our body.

So whenever you have a craving for a sweet drink, make yourself a glass of honey. It can be used in cooking. This is an excellent sweetener for tea and coffee. Honey also makes a good spread on bread. Honey is truly one of nature's wonderful sweet secrets.
