4. Cardiovascular benefits
Chronic cardiovascular disease is another of the most common health affections in first world countries, and in a lot of cases, the main cause is our less than desirable lifestyle and our poor eating choices. Luckily for us, by merely adding some raw honey to our daily diet, we can help reduce our likeability of developing cardiovascular complications, and improve our circulatory health. Honey has many natural antioxidants, which are substances that prevent and slow down the negative effect of the passing of time on our cells.
For example, these components help our blood vessels dilate, thus reducing our blood pressure. They also prevent the formation of blood clots, which when they get stuck in a small vein can cause a stroke or heart attack, or at least an obstruction of a blood vessel. Antioxidants help eliminate free radicals, and as a result, protect the health of our heart.
