Honey Benefits

Honey is more digestible than any other sweetener, natural or artificial. It is because it is not only predigested, but it also contains enzymes to help it along. It is easier on the body because of its chemical structure and does not cause a huge insulin rush the same as sugar does.

Raw Honey Works To:

• Neutralize toxins

• Relieve Pain

• Wipe out Toxins that cause diarrhea

• Calm the nerves

• I always drink a cup of herbal tea with a tablespoon of raw honey melted into it before bed and I sleep like a baby. I know it also helps my digestion as well.

Raw Honey and Allergies

Interestingly enough, there are many people that actually use honey in their allergy and asthma treatments. It is very healing and helps with absorption and carries the healing properties of herbs or remedies.

Athletes and Honey

It is excellent for post training as it acts as a fast source of carbohydrates and minerals to replenish depleted glycogen (muscle energy). It also makes a mix to use in your water bottle for endurance athletes for a slow steady source of easy to digest carbohydrates and minerals.

Both my husband and myself use the liquid honey in our water blend. I really like it because it does not cause any type of stomach distress during a training session or race.

Simply take a liquid honey such as our Summer Blossom and poor it into a water bottle or a Fuelbelt Endurance Belt bottle. Consume it just like you would a carbohydrate gel.

Honey a Potential Treatment for Colon Cancer

Involvement of Non-Protein Thiols, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Reactive Oxygen Species and p53 in Honey-Induced ApoptosisInvestigational New Drugs, Volume 28, Number 5, October 2010 , pp. 624-633(10)

Honey is a complex mixture of different biologically active constituents. Honey possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor properties.

Our chief investigation was to assess the honey induced apoptosis and its molecular mechanism in colon cancer cell growth inhibition.

Honey exerted antiproliferative potential against the HCT-15 and HT-29 colon cancer cells as assessed by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Flow cytometric analysis showed the increasing accumulation of hypodiploid nuclei in the sub-G1 phase of cell cycle indicating apoptosis. Honey transduced the apoptotic signal via initial depletion of intracellular non protein thiols, consequently reducing the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and increasing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation.

An increasing earlier lipid layer break was observed in the treated cells compared to the control. Honey induced apoptosis was accompanied by up-regulating the p53 and modulating the expression of pro and anti-apoptotic proteins. Further apoptosis induction was substantiated using DNA fragmentation assay and YO-PRO-1 staining.

Results showed honey as a plausible candidate for induction of apoptosis through ROS and mitochondria-dependent mechanisms in colon cancer cells. This will promote honey as a potential chemotherapeutic agent against colon cancer.

Honey Inhibits Tumor GrowthOral Administration of Aloe Vera and Honey Reduces Walker Tumour Growth by Decreasing Cell Proliferation and Increasing Apoptosis in Tumour TissuePhytother Res, 2010 Sep 13

Cancer is diagnosed in approximately 11 million people and is responsible for almost 8 million deaths worldwide every year. Research in cancer control has shown the importance of co-adjuvant therapies.

Aloe vera may reduce tumour mass and metastasis rates, while honey may inhibit tumour growth.

This study verified the influence of Aloe vera and honey on tumour growth and in the apoptosis process by assessing tumour size, the cell proliferation rate (Ki67-LI) and Bax/Bcl-2 expression at 7, 14 and 20 days after Walker 256 carcinoma implant in Wistar rats distributed into two groups: the WA group - tumour-bearing rats that received a gavage with a 670 µL/kg dose of Aloe vera and honey solution daily, and the CW group - tumour-bearing rats which received only a 0.9% NaCl solution.

The effect of Aloe vera and honey against tumour growth was observed through a decrease in relative weight (%) and Ki67-LI in tumours from the WA group compared with those from the CW group. The Bax/Bcl-2 ratio increased in tumours from the WA group at all tested timepoints.

These data suggest Aloe vera and honey can modulate tumour growth by reducing cell proliferation and increasing apoptosis susceptibility.Posted by Editor at 1:00 AM 0
