Honey and Its Nutrients

Honey has many health benefits as well as it is very pleasurable to taste.

What is honey made up of?

Honey has elements of glucose and fructose. It has minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium chlorine, iron and phosphate. This food of the gods contain vitamins B, which highly recommended for those having nerve problems. I remember my doctor told me to take food and vitamin with B complex after that terrible car accident since my left face was partly paralyzed. Honey contain these vitamins B1, B2, C, B6, B5 and B3. However, the quality of nectar and pollen has more to do with the levels of the vitamins B that honey can give. Iodine, zinc, and copper can also be found in honey though in small quantity.

Since honey is very good in boosting the immune system, it is a very good prevention for allergies and common colds.
