About Me, Author of Benefits of Honey

Hello, I am the founder and author of this website Benefits of Honey, and my name is Ruth. My primary focus of this web resource is CONTENT, sharing my own personal experience and knowledge about honey, and delivering to as many as I can reach on the web quality articles that would benefit their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Actually, eventually whether people know anything about me doesn't matter. However, as it seems, visitors probably feel somewhat more comfortable and trusting while navigating in and out of a website when there is a real person, real voice associated with it.

So about me. I'm quick to inform my visitors that I am not a medical doctor whenever they challenge me about the medicinal effects of honey. Frankly, though the beneficial effects of honey and bee products are often being extolled, scientific knowledge related to them is slowly being built up, too many ill-formed medical doctors still tend to frown whenever their patients suggest utilizing honey as a home remedy. Worse, when they preach that honey is just another sugar. I am totally convinced that honey is an intelligent sugar, superb in nutritional value, and a real wonder from nature. For centuries, generations after generations from diverse cultures have used it as a folk remedy for many illnesses and found it to be an effective health and energy booster.

Benefits of Honey avoids bombarding or loading its visitors with difficult-to-grasp and confusing terms and jargons about honey and health issues, but aspires to bring its messages in the simplest terms possible. Actually the fact about me is, I am not a beekeeper or an expert in beekeeping; and never have I ever called myself a honey connoisseur or an authority in honey. I just love to write and share about my encounters with honey as a layman, a honey consumer, a honey enthusiast, in hope that a lot more people, especially in this part of the world where I live – Asia will come to know and begin to marvel at what this humble natural sweetener can do, savor each nuance and flavor of honey as one would do to search the rare and sublime personalities of wines to satisfy the palate, and agree with me that the journey of exploring and discovering the versatility of honey in health, beauty , cooking and baking is not just rewarding, but can be very addictive and inspiring.

And how do I acquire my "honey know-how"? Passionate about honey and its benefits, I am constantly learning, scouting and sniffing for reports and claims about honey and its benefits, exploring the different honey floral varieties that are available and accessible to me, and talking to people who are willing to share about their experience and thoughts about honey and honeybee products. In addition, I use honey as part of my Hibernation Diet and as a home remedy for my family and myself for ailments such as coughs, throat infection, indigestion, etc, keep myself informed of new books and articles on honey and health related subjects, stop over at honeystands to enquire about new honey bee products, talk with honey salespeople to gain new insights, make friends with visitors to Benefits-of-Honey worldwide and have exchanges of knowledge (this is one of the most pleasurable thing to do...hey do stop over at my Benefits of Honey Facebook Page) and allow myself to experiment with different honey varieties in my kitichen to fabricate new honey recipes that my husband, kids, Benefits of Honey visitors, and other honey enthusiasts might like.

Privately, more about me, born and bred in Singapore, a tiny prosperous and peaceful island in Southeast Asia, I write and speak English and Chinese. I am married to an Excel business application guru and we have two adorable daughters. In my free time, I also occasionally blog to exert my philosophical tendencies and articulate some my innermost thoughts related to paradoxes and ironies in life. And I find therapeutic doing this.

Dedicated to all honey fans and lovers in this world, Benefits of Honey strives to become a progressively exceptional, quality honey, health and nutrition resource in the World Wide Web by continually and actively generating valuable insights related to honey.

Eating for health has never been sweeter.
