Improve Your Life with Honey


Honey the word of endearment is generally used for a wife or girl friend. It is because you cannot do without her in your life. In similar vein you cannot do without honey, the wonder product of the bees. Both honey and honey make your life sweet not to mention a success
You have already an Honey with you; your wife or girl friend who remains your source of inspiration and support. Likewise, you need Honey, this time the sweet yellowish to golden fluid produced by the honey bees. You will ask me why honey and what it does for me. In this blog post I describe what made me to study honey, the features of honey and the cosmics of honey to improve your life.
What made me to study Honey
About 35 years ago , I was posted as manager of a bank branch in a remote area in the eastern part of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). During weekends, I scoot off to the jungles and parley with aborigines known as Veddhas. Highly hospitable group the Veddhas find their food by hunting. Since hunting animals depend on season and chance they preserve the meat in honey. I have relished on venison and other meats preserved by the number of full moons as they do not use calendars to tell us the time. Honey can preserve contents soaked with it for a long time.
In contrast, I found a different feature; this time not preservation but disintegration, when I travelled to the northern area of Ceylon known as Wanni where settlement of farmers live. I was given a special treat: A part of honey hive with the head of cobra inside. The poor soul has got into the hive with its hood and part of its upper body. Entrapped it was not able to get out. The cobra died; the part outside the bee hive got rotten and has fallen off. The part of cobra inside the beehive was disintegrated into honey. The cobra’s hood was still visible as a film but no physical body could be seen. I joined my hosts to relish on this wonder. What happened to the cobra’s poison? All that was disintegrated perhaps.
Honey, like your wife or girl friend can make you or break you. It can preserve or it can disintegrate. It can make you fat or make you thin. It heals diarrhoea or can increase loose motion. On the top of the line, it boosts your sex drive or dull your libido.
Features
  1. Honey is produced by honey bees known as apis mellifera from nectar of flowers in the vicinity of the beehive. A complex regurgitation process takes place where the bees transform nectar into the viscous fluid. The final secretion which was earlier thought to come out of the mouth is now found to come out from the intestines
  2. About 35 % densier than water, honey has less water content barring the growth of micro organism; hence it can preserve itself, provided that it is not exposed to oxidisation and fermentation. Honey can attract external ambience such as smell or moisture; that is why it is recommended to store honey in glass or ceramic jars rather than in tins
  3. Honey has different types of sugar such as fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose accounting for about 75 % of its content. The balance 25% consists of minerals such as potassium, sodium, phosphate, copper, iron, calcium & manganese, along with carbohydrates, proteins, enzymes, various vitamins and water
  4. Raw honey is unprocessed, often darker in colour with fragrance and taste that does not appeal to many. It is used mainly for medical and nutritional purposes. Selection of raw honey be left with experts
  5. Ripe honey is unprocessed, fresh and ready for various use including consumption. it gives pleasant fragrance and appealing taste
  6. Processed honey is what you see in the supermarket shelf. Often it is purified by heating which destroys major part of its contents such as nutrients and minerals.
