In today’s fast-paced world, everyone is choosing the fastest routes to results. This also rings true in the case of health – people are looking for easy ways to keep themselves healthy. And that’s how “superfoods” became popular. From trendy seeds to exotic powders, this term is now everywhere. But long before these new-age discoveries, there was one ingredient that has earned a name as a health hero – honey.
Honey wasn’t created in a lab, and it didn’t need marketing to be known. Its benefits were already being talked about thousands of years ago. In fact, it has been considered both a natural sweetener and a healing agent in Ayurveda and other alternative and folk medicines across the world.
Let’s understand why honey has been so popular as a powerful superfood.
A Sweet Ingredient with a Long History
If you go back in time, honey shows up again and again in different cultures. In ancient Egypt, it was used to treat wounds. Greek athletes consumed it for energy. Indian households have passed it down as a go-to remedy for coughs, sore throats, and skin care. It wasn’t just food; it was medicine, tradition, and trust in a jar.
In Ayurveda, honey (or Madhu) is believed to help with digestion, boost energy, improve skin, and even enhance the effects of herbal medicines. And unlike modern-day supplements with a long list of additives, honey has always been a natural ingredient.
What Makes Honey So Special?
Even though honey is most commonly used as a sweetener, it has myriad health benefits that go beyond.
- Acts as Antioxidant: A composite of compounds like flavonoids and phenolic acids, honey helps reduce oxidative stress in the body and fight inflammation.
- Boosts Energy: A spoonful of honey is a rich source of carbohydrates, owing to its natural sugars that are easier on the body than refined sugar.
- Supports Immunity: Some types of honey contain antimicrobial properties that help fight infections and soothe sore throats.
- Good for Digestion: Raw honey can act as a prebiotic that promotes the growth of good bacteria in your gut. It improves digestion and helps treat issues like bloating, constipation, etc.
But all honey is not the same in quality.
Which Type of Honey Should You Choose?
There are many types of honey, varying in colour, flavour, and texture. You’ve probably seen regular commercial honey in supermarkets. It’s usually processed, filtered, and sometimes even diluted with sugar syrups.
But one of the purest forms of honey is monofloral honey. As the name suggests, it is made from the nectar of a single flower, meaning it has the unique taste, aroma, and health properties of that specific plant. This is why it is more nutrient-rich and pure compared to the usual blended honey found in stores.
