Honey can be a wonderful addition to many dishes: from fresh baked goods to hot tea, but its main advantage is its health benefits. It has been proven that this product is able to increase antioxidant activity in the blood, reduce "bad" cholesterol and promote wound healing. Although any natural honey is considered useful, experts consider five types of product to be healthy.
Buckwheat honey
One study found that consuming buckwheat honey along with black tea significantly increased antioxidant levels in the body. Another study placed buckwheat honey on the list of foods with a very high antioxidant status. Buckwheat honey has also been found to help lower blood cholesterol levels and protect heart health.
Honey jamun
Jamun is an evergreen tree that can grow up to 30 meters. Honey obtained from the flowers of the plant is widely distributed in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Australia. Such honey has a low glycemic index, which makes it suitable for use by diabetics. In addition, jamun honey has shown promise when it comes to healing diabetic wounds.
Clover honey
It is a type of classic honey with floral and sweet notes. The product is rich in antioxidants, which can prevent or reduce cell damage, and is also useful for regulating blood pressure and cholesterol levels. One study found that clover honey can reverse liver damage caused by free radicals.
Acacia honey
It is a sweet but very pure honey obtained from acacia flowers. The product is very popular among honey connoisseurs because it has a higher concentration of fructose with a lower level of sucrose, making it one of the best for people with diabetes.
Lavender honey
Lavender honey has a floral woody aroma. This is one of the easiest types of honey to taste, which nevertheless has unique properties. Lavender honey contains an amino acid known as tyrosine, which is important for brain function. This honey also has the ability to improve mood and reduce depression.
Manuka Honey
This honey is produced by bees that feed on the flowers of the manuka bush that grows in New Zealand. Honey is known for its antibacterial and wound-healing properties. It has a caramel consistency and a more pronounced taste compared to other types of product.
