Description
H o n e y, nature’s original sweetener, is being rediscovered as a natural
source of energy that also offers a unique combination of nutritional
benefits. Sugars are the fundamental unit of energy for our bodies. All
carbohydrates, whether simple sugars or complex carbohydrates, must be
broken down to glucose, or blood sugar, before our bodies can use them
as energy. The sugars in honey are primarily glucose and fructose and
although the body absorbs them in different manners, both provide the
body with quick energy. Recent studies suggest that this unique mixture
of sugars, which occurs naturally in honey, works best in preventing
fatigue and enhancing athletic performance. In addition to being a concentrated
energy source, honey contains a wide array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants
and amino acids. Honey contains vitamins, such as vitamin B6, thiamin,
riboflavin and pantothenic acid. Essential minerals, such as calcium,
copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and
zinc are also found in honey. In addition, several different amino acids,the
building blocks of protein, have been identified in honey.
Honey also contains several compounds that function as antioxidants,
one of which is unique to honey called pinocembrin. Although these substances
appear in trace amounts and vary depending on the honey’s floral source,
they contribute to your overall nutrition intake.For a quick source of
energy and to reap the benefits of honey’s healthful properties, make
honey part of your daily diet along with plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Use honey to sweeten your oatmeal or drizzle it over a grapefruit half.
Add honey and fresh fruit to low-fat yogurt for an energy-sustaining
snack or stir a spoonful of honey into a glass of water before your daily
workout.
