# Honey

Nature's ancient healer. Raw, unfiltered honey delivers enzymes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial power that processed honey can't match.

## Why Honey is a Longevity Food

Raw, unfiltered honey has been used as medicine for thousands of years. Unlike processed honey, raw honey retains its natural enzymes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial properties. In Mediterranean and Blue Zone cultures, honey is the preferred sweetener.

Raw vs Processed: Commercial honey is often heated and filtered, destroying beneficial enzymes and reducing antioxidant content. Raw honey is never heated above hive temperature and retains all its natural compounds.

### Health Benefits of Quality Honey

- Antimicrobial: Natural hydrogen peroxide and other compounds fight bacteria
- Antioxidant Rich: Contains flavonoids and phenolic acids that protect cells
- Wound Healing: Used medically for burns and wounds
- Cough Relief: As effective as some cough medicines
- Prebiotic: Feeds beneficial gut bacteria
