Personally, for me, this page is a total inspiration and a big testament to the powerful health benefits of honey.

Come in and be awed by the goodness of honey, get some quick easy honey facts and interesting honey bees information, be introduced to some common bee products and their benefits and uses, scrutinize together the nutrition and properties of honey and its health benefits. Well, I probably cannot offer you medical advice on honey like a medical doctor or promote honey as a substitute for professional medical care, and I don't aim to, but as a honey enthusiast, I am eager to give you all the reasons in the most laymen, simplest language that is easy for everybody to grasp and appreciate - why honey is such a super food, why we should feel indebted to the tireless creatures which have to visit two million flowers just to provide us with one pound of honey, why everyone should always keep a jar of honey at home, and even why one should consider using it during a fast. Also you will realize with its bewildering number of varieties, this natural sweetener is comparable to tea, coffee, wine in its complexity, and agree that it surely doesn't deserve to be labeled as a mundane or humdrum commodity which has a homogeneous taste and flavor, like water, salt, and sugar. Liquid Good as Gold! I sincerely hope that what the community in Benefits of Honey shares will dramatically change the way people talk about honey and experience honey, turning consumption into a special ceremony, and with its own special tastes and health benefits, honey will find a new star status as a chic and awe-inspiring golden liquid.
It sets out to share with all the honey buffs in this world how exciting discovering the uses and benefits of honey can be. (It has become a "Benefits of Honey Wikipedia ) And since early 2007, it has grown into a plethora of other health and nutrition contents, bringing you news on some of the hottest health-buzzwords like cortical, natural skin care, lymphatic systems, organic food, antioxidant, and detoxify - all of which you can find in our health. There you also can find links to some very layman, easy to understand explanations on honey bee products such as propolis, royal jelly, bee wax, and bee pollen, and some of the most common health problems such as bad breath, athlete foot, hair loss, sleep disorder, arthritis, acne, and yeast infection - all of which honey has traditionally been used as a natural cure or alternative medicine. As our Benefits of Honey pages add by the day to inform about honey, there has also been a marked increase in the number of visitors asking these questions - "How much honey can we eat every day?", "How much honey is considered excessive?" My response is: "Eat as much as you can?" No, of course not! As a very general rule of thumb, in the case of a normal, balanced diet, I recommend not more than 10 teaspoons of honey (which is about 50ml) per day. This is formulated based on advice from some trusted honey stores, and not based on any medical point of view backed by scientific data. Nevertheless, this question about honey dosage is actually a tricky one. The amount of honey considered to be optimum depends a whole lot on a person's diet and lifestyle. For instance, one could be taking foods with very low sugar content every day, leading a very active lifestyle, and following a disciplined exercise regimen, while on the other extreme end; another with a sweet tooth could be taking plenty of high-sugar stuff and living a sedentary lifestyle. Hence, apparently, the daily amount of honey to be prescribed for different people would not be the same. As per the widely-known principle, excessiveness of any food, including honey is not wise. But note, not all sweeteners are equal. One excellent way to healthier eating is to use honey in our everyday food, for example, replace empty-calorie table sugar with nutritious honey in your routine beverages, spread honey instead of jam on bread, etc, For instance, if all this while you have been taking tea, coffee, or juices with table sugar in all your regular meals, you could straight away replace the sugar with honey
