THE INSIGHTS AND INTEL  ABOUT HONEY AND DIABETES

If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic you’ve probably heard 

That eating sugar including natural sugar like honey was a  big “no, no”

Well, I have good news about honey that has been changed I’d like to share with you.

Honey unlike regular sugar-is a natural, bioactive substance chock full of anti-inflammatory substances, flavonoids, and polyphenols that are high-powered antioxidants. However, make sure that it’s raw natural unfiltered honey

In a recent study conducted for 52 weeks where two groups were fed either sugar or honey. The long-term feeding group decreased  the bad cholesterol {LDL} and increased the good cholesterol {HDL} proactive type had very effective results 

Another study results that a diet containing honey showed a significant decrease in triglycerides, LDL, bad cholesterol, leptins, body weight, and body fat. In addition, it showed those who consumed small amounts of honey increased the effectiveness of diabetes medications. 

THE JOURNAL OF MEDICINAL FOOD study found that natural raw honey lowers blood glucose levels in healthy, diabetic, and hyperlipidemic individuals. This study also showed that honey help to increase natural levels of insulin, which help to remove glucose from the blood. It also showed lower C-relative protein and homocysteine -both are inflammatory markers for heart disease.

Although honey does contain natural sugars, it is still REAL FOOD loaded with powerful nutrients contained within it.

Honey also contains an enormity  of beneficial compounds, including:

• Minerals-amino acids-

• Vitamins and antioxidants

• Antibacterial properties that heal wounds and infections

Therefore, if you are diabetic YES YOU CAN EAT HONEY because it serves to improve insulin sensitivity, lowers cholesterol, helps with weight management, and healthy thyroid levels, and indeed, it lowers inflammation in the joints

DO NOT FORGET TO MAKE SURE IT’S NATURAL RAW UNFILTERED HONEY.
