Honey : Honey is a sweet product formed by the laborious honey bees from the nectar of flowers. A number of species of honey bees participate in the formation of honey which is later on collected by the beekeepers and finally consumed by humans. The nectar collected from flowers is converted into honey by honey bees with the help of a unique process known as regurgitation and is then stored in the honey combs inside the bee hive. Beekeeping practices encourage its overproduction so that large amount of honey can be extracted without damaging the bee colony. It obtains its sweetness from the monosaccharide sugars chiefly fructose and glucose and has the same relative sweetness like that of the granulated sugar. It comprises attractive chemical properties and is a good flavouring agent. Majority of microbes fail to grow in it because of its low water activity of 0.6. sometimes endospores of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum remain suspended in honey and are toxic to infant's intestinal tract resulting in death.
Apple : Apple is a widely known fruit to each and every one of us. Known not just by name but because it offers many amazing health benefits. It is delicious and nutritious fruit that everyone must have and eat.

Vitamins are important to our body for sustaining all our daily activities. Vitamin C which apple possesses builds resistance to infections and improves our immune system. Vitamin A which is also present in apple is good for the eyes, growth and repair of our body tissues.
Eggs: What have you heard about eggs and their effect on human health?
I've heard many things, over the years. Twenty years ago, a Pagan friend of mine was saying that chickens were solely created to provide the most perfect protein-food for mankind, wrapped up in its own hygienic wrapper, the shell. We are all familiar with someone who has heard or read that egg yolk is high in cholesterol, and thus doesn't eat eggs at all, or separates eggs and discards the yolks. We all know someone whose doctor has said "You have high cholesterol, so remove prawns and eggs from your diet". We probably all know someone who refuses to eat eggs because they believe that hens are forced to lay, and that an egg is an undeveloped chicken.

Banana : Banana is a tropical fruit. It comes from a large plant which grows all round the year. Bananas are plucked from the plant when they are green and turn yellow when they are ripe. It is a very good low calorie food. It mostly contains carbohydrates which are easy to digest. A diet of banana with skimmed milk is very good for weight reduction.
It is rich in potassium and is highly recommended for people suffering from blood pressure. Potassium also helps to increase mental alertness. Its high iron content helps to improve the hemoglobin content in the blood and is recommended anemia patients. It is also rich in electrolytes and helps to maintain the electrolyte balance in the body and etc.
