Honey and Its Surprising benefits for Health & Beauty !!

Honey contains over 80 different substances that the body needs to grow and function.  If the honeycomb is analyzed and examined, it is understood that it contains nutrients that are essential for the body and healing.  More than half (up to 70%) of the energy needed by humans comes from the source of sugar in food.
