Honey, tonic in the middle and slow, moisten the lungs and cough, laxative, good taste and wonderful effect! It can be consumed in moderation by patients with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Honey, found in the earliest Chinese pharmacopoeia “Shennong Ben Cao Jing”, which says: “stone honey (i.e. natural wild honey), taste sweet and flat. The main heart and abdominal evil, all the shock and epilepsy b, the five Tibetan, all deficiencies, the benefit of Qi tonic, pain relief and detoxification, in addition to all diseases, and a hundred drugs. Long taken, strong will and light body, not hungry and not old. A stone syrup. The valley.” Modern research has shown that honey can regulate gastrointestinal function, enhance appetite, prevent constipation; and improve neurological disorders, improve sleep; and protect the liver, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, promote wound healing, beauty, skin care and other effects. A recent review published in the JOURNAL OF MEDICINAL FOOD (Impact Factor: 1.69) concluded that honey can have a cardiovascular protective effect in the general population, diabetics, and hyperlipidemic people. We know that diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and obesity are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Several drugs are currently used to manage and prevent the complications associated with these diseases. However, as “medicine is toxic”, it is difficult to avoid side effects when taking these drugs, making it difficult to achieve optimal treatment. Honey has been widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of many diseases. Today, honey is being re-recognized by modern medicine for its healing properties for wounds and burns. Honey has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial activities. Many studies have expanded on other aspects such as effects on blood sugar, body weight, lipids, C-reactive protein, pro-inflammatory factors and homocysteine to name a few. There is a growing body of scientific evidence supporting the value of honey in patients with diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity and cardiovascular disease. Natural honey contains sugars (85% glucose and fructose), non-aromatic organic acids, many trace elements and minerals, many vitamins, amino acids (eighteen essential and non-essential amino acids), various enzymes (glucose oxidase, etc.), polyphenols and nitric oxide products, among others. Many diabetics are concerned that taking honey will raise their blood sugar, but this is not the case. Several studies have now found that honey has many beneficial effects on blood glucose levels. It can lower plasma blood glucose levels, improve glucose tolerance, and raise plasma insulin and C-peptide levels in diabetic patients. Natural honey has many biological activities. Honey intake increases blood levels of vitamin C, beta carotene, and glutathione reductase, and lowers plasma blood glucose levels, C-reactive protein, and homocysteine levels. In addition honey improves lipid profile and regulates C-peptide and insulin secretion. Honey has potent antioxidant activity and its intake increases antioxidant products in the body. As a natural syrup, honey also has various effects on many metabolic indicators that are beneficial for people with diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, we recommend: whether you are a healthy person, or a patient with diabetes, hypertension or other cardiovascular disease, taking honey in moderation can be very beneficial to your health. Many of my patients are in a poor nutritional state due to chronic cardiovascular disease depletion, and I often recommend that they purchase natural honey for consumption, and over time, patients have reported good results. Also, honey has the ability to promote wound healing. In my clinical work, I often recommend that my patients consume more honey after pacemaker surgery to help promote healing of the implantation port.
