ΤΟ ΜΕΛΙ

Το μέλι είναι ένα αρωματικό, ιξώδες, γλυκό υλικό που προέρχεται από το νέκταρ των φυτών, το οποίο μαζεύουν οι μέλισσες και το μεταβάλλουν για την τροφή τους σε ένα πυκνότερο υγρό και τελικά το αποθηκεύουν στις κηρήθρες τους. Η αξία του μελιού έχει εκτιμηθεί από τα πανάρχαια χρόνια .Στους Αιγυπτιακούς παπύρους πριν από 3500 χρόνια αναφέρεται το μέλι ως θεραπευτικό μέσο. Στο βιβλίο ζωής των αρχαίων Ινδών αναφέρεται ότι η ζωή παρατείνεται όταν στην καθημερινή διατροφή υπάρχει το μέλι και το γάλα. Στήν Ελληνική μυθολογία με μέλι ανατράφηκε ο Δίας από τη νύμφη μέλισσα και το νέκταρ αποτελούσε τροφή των θεών του Ολύμπου Ιπποκράτης συνιστούσε το μέλι για την θεραπεία πολλών ασθενειών το ίδιο και ο Αριστοτέλης.

Το μέλι περιέχει τουλάχιστον 180 διαφορετικές ουσίες οι οποίες διασυνδέονται οργανικά με τέτοιο τρόπο ώστε κανείς μέχρι σήμερα να μην μπορέσει να το παράγει τεχνητά παρά την γνωστή του σύνθεση.

Η θρεπτική αξία του μελιού Τα ζάχαρα του μελιού είναι απλά, απορροφούνται αμέσως, γιʼ

αυτό και το μέλι είναι μια γρήγορη πηγή ενέργειας για τον οργανισμό. Είναι κατάλληλο για αθλητές, παιδιά, εγκύους και για άρρωστους και ταλαιπωρημένους οργανισμούς. Προσοχή το μέλι δεν πρέπει να δίνεται
