Brain

The brain uses more than half of the glucose that enters the body in order to function healthily. Raw honey is an excellent source of natural glucose which the body can break down quickly and provide sustaining nourishment to the brain. 

 

 

Study

The physical inactivity associated with studying for long periods of time can make muscles ache and become restless. This is usually caused by a lack of blood flow to muscle tissue. Raw honey contains flavonoids such hesperetin that improve circulation.  Regular consumption of this honey can even increase red blood cell count, allowing  for more oxygenated blood to be supplied to the muscles.

 

 

Focus

When blood glucose levels are low the brains ability to concentrate and problem solve is greatly impacted. Honey is able to rebalance glucose levels without the sharp spike in insulin caused by processed sugars.

 

 

Memory

The glucose in raw honey strengthens neural pathways in the brain and improves the speed of communication between neurotransmitters. This helps the brain to retain recently acquired information and access it faster. 

 

 

 

Learn

Learning new skills or information causes your brain to 'rewire' itself and can even change the shape of your brain's nerve cells. There are at least 27 minerals found in raw honey, many of which serve to support nerve cells. The magnesium and potassium in honey strengthens the nervous system and phosphorus aids in the development of new brain cells. 

 

 

Longevity

Raw honey contains just as many antioxidants as fruit and vegetables. Antioxidants are crucial for protecting your body from the cell-damaging free radicals and a range of diseases.

 

 

 

Performance

Raw honey contains less carbohydrates per gram than processed sugars. This makes it a great addition to pre-workout meals. It also contains more than 22 amino acids that aid in recovery and repair of body tissue.
