![Text Box: S O M E F A C T S
Honey, is a source of simple carbohydrates, mainly fructose (38.5 percent) and (31percent).
The remaining 12.9 percent of carbohydrates is made up of maltose, sucrose and other sugars. As a carbohydrate, honey supplies energy at 64 calories per tablespoon, providing fuel to working muscles. It is one of the most effective forms of carbohydrate gels to ingest just prior to exercise because its carbohydrate source is relatively mild on its effects upon blood sugar compared to other carbohydrate sources.
Honey also comprises half of the secret to post-workout recuperation. Many post-workout products on the market combine a large amount of carbohydrates with protein. The most common carbohydrate source used is malt dextrin, a mildly sweet carbohydrate usually derived from corn. Upon comparison of a honey-protein vs. a malt dextrin-protein shake taken after a vigorous weightlifting workout, the honey-protein combination fared as well in promoting markers of muscle recuperation. The honey group’s blood sugar was sustained for at least two hours post-workout. Research data suggest that honey functions well in all of the aspects associated with post-workout recuperation and energy repletion. In addition, honey appears to stand out as perhaps a better source of carbohydrate to ingest with post-workout protein supplements. So honey is valued for its many uses.
In addition to promoting muscle recuperation and glycogen [carbohydrates stored in muscle] restoration, honey-protein combinations also seem well suited to sustain favorable blood sugar concentrations after training. Honey too contains small amounts of a wide array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. Antioxidants perform the role of eliminating free radicals, which are reactive compounds in the body. Free radicals are created through the normal process of metabolism and contribute to many serious diseases.
The use of honey as a wound dressing goes back to ancient times and has now been ‘rediscovered’ by modern medicine. It is a common observation in the many reports in medical journals that numerous benefits result from using honey externally to dress wounds. The antibacterial properties of honey may help clear infection in wounds, and the anti-inflammatory action of honey may reduce pain and may improve circulation which hastens the healing process. Honey stimulates the re-growth of tissue involved in healing, making healing faster and reducing scarring.](recipe_apr_2009_files/image015.gif)
