Honey is better than sugar. Discuss.
It is a common knowledge that honey is better for our health than sugar. Health-conscious people prefer honey to refined sugar because honey is a natural and safe food. Honey has a high sugar content and its calorie content is higher than refined sugar. However, we are able to be satisfied with its sweet taste even when using a small amount of honey because honey is composed of fructose. Furthermore, honey contains antioxidants, calcium, and minerals such as iron. In general, people drink tea or hot lemonade with honey when they catch a cold. This is because honey helps them recover because honey weakens virus activation.
There are more than 3,000 kinds of honey in the world. The taste, color, and nutritional profile of honey is different depending on its flowers. Manuka honey is really precious in particular. The plant we called “Manuka” grows in New Zealand and has small white flowers. Manuka honey is made by mixing its flower nectar and enzymes from the bee's body. Many theories about Manuka honey were tested and the research of its effects is progressing. Of course, Manuka honey has positive effects like other honey, however furthermore, because it is derived from Manuka flowers and bees it can strengthen our immune systems and keep our skin beautiful and clean. In some countries, people use Manuka honey as lotion for skin diseases like burns or acne.
Honey is good for our health, however, there are people who need to be careful of eating honey. One-year-old babies shouldn’t eat honey because they may be exposed to botulism. People who have allergies or diabetes need to be careful when eating honey as well. Additionally, we need to be careful of fake honey, especially Manuka honey, when we buy it at supermarkets. It is better to buy honey at honey specialty shops because only authentic honey is sold there. As for Manuka honey, honey spray and candy are sold at the market. After the pandemic, it is good to put Manuka spray or candy in your bag instead of a mask.
I think that coconut trees are the best trees. My reasons are…
1. Coconuts have a lot of dietary fibers, therefore, coconuts clean your stomach.
2. You can enjoy many types of coconut products, such as dried coconuts, coconut oil, coconut milk, and coconut water.
3. Coconut trees are called “Trees of life”. Coconut trees are valuable trees for people to support their lives in the tropical regions because coconut trees have high yield.
