RAW HONEY is the BEST BRAIN FUEL
~So, eat honey before sleep.
Why is honey labelled as the Gold Standard brain fuel in Dr. Ron Fessenden's book, "The New Honey Revolution"? Amongst all foods, fruit juices included, why is honey deemed as the most ideal food before bedtime? Why is honey believed to be second to none in fueling the brain, the king of our organs overnight? How does it actually work?
HONEY as the GOLD STANDARD BRAIN FUEL
The liver makes glycogen from fructose and glucose in an equal ratio, and because honey contains fructose and glucose in the perfect 1:1 ratio, it is able to produce more liver glycogen per gram than any other food. The liver immediately turns honey into glycogen storage. If honey had only glucose, it would have gone into our blood without liver intervention, raising the blood sugar and releasing excessive levels of insulin that will drive the glucose into the muscles and fat cells, where it will be stored as fat.
According to Dr Ron Fessenden, taking one or two tablespoons of honey just before bedtime is the most ideal way of fuelling our brain during sleep and eliminating metabolic stress. A tablespoon (21g) of honey contains about 7.5 grams of glucose and 8.6 grams of fructose, which will result almost 17 grams of liver glycogen.
If you are still skeptical, try it, and see how honey is able to promote a deep and restorative sleep for you and support a healthy metabolism as your liver goes to work, breaking down the toxins stored in fat cells.
