Cool Research: Honey as a Brain Booster
I came across a review paper (a paper that analyzes multiple studies) published in 2023 looking at the effects of honey on the brain.
Unlike refined sugar, we know that honey has lots of benefits. It turns out, this includes improving our brain health!
The paper described how eating 1 tablespoon of honey for sixteen weeks helped boost short term memory in post-menopausal women. Short term memory learning was also improved in another study on schizophrenic patients.
It also has a protective effect on our brain cells, and is linked to improved cognition!
I don't need many excuses to eat honey, but these are good ones!
