Honey
Honey is made up of a combination of simple sugars: glucose, fructose, maltose and sucrose. As such, it is actually sweeter than sugar but does not upset your mineral balance like refined sugar.
As such, honey is a great post workout food (in combination with protein) after weight training, to spike your insulin and encourage muscle repair.
Honey has also been used for centuries to treat sore throats and coughs, stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, and constipation.
