Honey Protects Brain from Alzheimer's Damage.

In 2025, María D. Navarro-Hortal and her team from the University of Granada reviewed many studies on how honey helps with Alzheimer's disease, a brain problem that causes memory loss and confusion. They looked at honey's natural compounds like flavonoids and polyphenols, found in raw honey from bees, and how they fight harmful changes in the brain.

The findings showed honey cuts down bad proteins like amyloid-beta plaques (by 20-40% in animal tests) and twisted Tau (reducing buildup by 30%), fights harmful stress and swelling, and boosts brain protectors like SIRT1. In mouse studies, honey improved memory and learning by 25-50%, while early human trials hint at slower brain decline, but more research is needed.

Add a spoonful of raw honey to your daily tea or yogurt to support brain health and potentially slow Alzheimer's changes.
