Honey as Memory Enhancer in Menopause Women

The news source is Reuters and the study was conducted by Universiti Sains Malaysia in Kubang Kerian.

A new study was conducted which confirms that the usage of Malaysian honey is an effective alternative therapy for declining memory among menopause women.

During the menopausal stage, a lot of changes take place and one of which is the slowing down of memory absorption. The more the person gets old, the more the effects of aging can be observed and women in particular find it hard to cope with the changes concomitant with menopause.

In the study, the researchers randomly assigned 102 healthy women to eat 20 grams of honey daily, and take hormone-replacement therapy containing estrogen and progesterone or do nothing. After four months, those who took honey or hormone pills recalled about one extra word out of 15 presented on a short-term memory test.

According to the researchers, in spite of the advantages brought about the intake of the said honey comes the greater likelihood of one to have complications like increase blood sugar levels. Also, they pointed out that this study needs to be proven further because it was small and didn’t last long. Moreover, they want to inform the public that the honey should not be compared to the real hormone pills since it isn’t even consider as a supplement and in cases where diabetics who are in menopausal stages need not to take such as honey contains more sugar than they need.

With that scenario in mind, it is therefore yet to be concluded that such usage of honey as part of menopause women’s treatment is effective or not. Medical professionals play a large role in educating the public of the proper treatment each woman should have. It is a good suggestion that before any progression of illness arises; one is well-equipped with a reliable health plan.
