| Summary: | Brain health deterioration is a worldwide health epidemic. Alzheimer’s disease and
other dementias are among the most expensive diseases to treat, with direct care
expenses exceeding those for cancer and heart disease. The consumption of overly
processed food products over the time has contributed to the increasing number of
health deterioration at an earlier age. Honey has been known worldwide through
history to be one of the purest, and popular natural product to be consumed as a
health booster notably due to its antioxidant and phenolic contents. In the recent
decade, many studies were perfomed to understand the biological process of cellular insult to the brain and ways to halt or slow down the process using natural
products. Honey was shown in some of these studies as having the potential that
may reduce or slow down these neural degenerations. Based on recent studies
conducted on the use of honey and its effects on the brain physiologically, and
anatomically, the results showed that honey holds potential in halting or even
treating brain health deteriorations. |
