Why You Must Insist on Having Original Honey by Valentine Lucky Umeh
In today’s world of increasing food adulteration, the need to insist on pure, original honey cannot be overstated.
Newera News gathered from Mr. Valentine Lucky Umeh, the CEO of Nature’s Honey Farm, that Honey has been celebrated for centuries not just as a natural sweetener, but also for its healing, nutritional, and medicinal properties. However, with the market flooded with fake and diluted alternatives, knowing why and how to demand authentic honey is crucial for your health and well-being.
According to him, Original honey is packed with natural enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that offer numerous health benefits.
It boosts the immune system, soothes sore throats, aids digestion, and helps in wound healing. It regulates blood sugar levels more effectively than refined sugar and, when consumed in moderation, supports heart health.. These benefits, however, are only guaranteed when the honey is pure and unprocessed.
Fake honey, on the other hand, is often mixed with sugar syrup, corn syrup, glucose, or other harmful additives.
These adulterants not only reduce the nutritional value but can also be dangerous, especially for people with diabetes, allergies, or weak immune systems. Consuming fake honey may lead to inflammation, digestive issues, and a spike in blood sugar levels, defeating the purpose of choosing honey as a healthier option in the first place.
Another reason to choose original honey is its impact on local beekeeping and the environment. Buying pure honey directly supports ethical beekeepers who prioritize sustainability and proper harvesting methods. These practices protect bees, which are critical pollinators for our food systems.
In contrast, commercial and adulterated honey production exploits bees and damages their hives, and contributes to the global decline in bee populations.
How can you tell if honey is original? Simple home tests include checking if it crystallizes over time, has a thick texture, and doesn’t dissolve quickly in water. Real honey also has a natural floral aroma and a slightly acidic taste. It’s best to source honey from trusted local beekeepers or certified organic brands that clearly label their ingredients and processing methods.
In conclusion, insisting on original honey is more than a matter of taste; it’s a step toward better health, environmental responsibility, and food integrity.
I will advise you, “don’t compromise your well-being for cheap imitations”. “Choose real honey, and let nature do the healing”, he concludes.
