Raw Honey: Sweet Medicinal
The sugar in honey is nothing like processed sugar—don’t confuse it with table sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. Rather, because bees collect from plant species far and wide, the fructose and glucose in honey are saturated with more than 200,000 undiscovered phytochemical compounds and agents, including pathogen-killers, phytochemicals that help protect you from radiation damage, and anti-cancerous phytochemicals.
Honey’s highly absorbable sugar and B12 coenzymes make it one of the most powerful brain foods of our time. Plus, raw honey helps repairs DNA and is extremely high in minerals such as calcium, potassium, zinc, selenium, phosphorus, chromium, molybdenum, and manganese.
Honey in its raw form is important for supporting immunity and a secret weapon to help with infectious illness. When you’re dealing with weakened immunity and feel like you’re extra susceptible to catching colds, flus, stomach bugs, and food poisoning, raw honey assists your body in keeping a strong first line of defense by strengthening neutrophils and macrophages so they can fight off pathogens. (It’s not yet documented by medical science that these and other white blood cells feed off of immune-stimulating phytochemicals.)
These properties also make raw honey anti-inflammatory—because it helps inhibit pathogens from procreating and thus releasing toxins that elevate inflammation.
How To Use:
Make Lemon, Honey, Ginger Water or simply add to lemon water. Enjoy on top of berries or other fruits. Add to smoothies, dips, or salad dressings. Add to warm (not hot) herbal teas. Chaga tea is especially beneficial when raw honey is added. Use raw honey as a replacement for any other processed sweetener.
Zinc
Zinc is an important mineral that assists in cell growth, repair, healing, and acts as an antioxidant (which helps to fight off inflammation, much like vitamin C). The best sources of zinc are found in seafood – oysters have the highest amount!
You’ll also find zinc in chicken, beef, and smaller amounts in beans, lentils, legumes, and nuts and seeds. In fact, the majority of our ready-made meals feature lean proteins that have good amounts of zinc!
Examples of ingredients high in Zinc
- Seafood, especially oysters!
- Red meat
- Legumes
- Nuts & seeds
- Dairy
- Dark chocolate
