“…Nemoseck et al, (13) Alagwu et al (17) and Majid et al (20) also suggest that the supplementation of honey will increase the excretion of cholesterol through bile acids thereby lowering blood cholesterol levels. In addition to antioxidants, honey also contains niacin.…”

“…This is in line with previous studies conducted on various experimental animals. Nemoseck et al (17) stated that honey has many advantages that would be promising in the world of health. One of the benefits of honey that is described in their study was to lose weight and lower blood triglyceride levels in SD strain rats.…”

“…The normal flora of the colon is important and has a beneficial effect on lipid metabolism. (17) Polysaccharides that can not be digested and short chain fatty acids resulting from the fermentation process by the normal flora will be able to reduce the levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase (7) and bile acid reabsorption into the liver. (3,7,9,22) In addition, the normal flora species which are beneficial and present in sufficient numbers in the colon, such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus, will be able to help lower blood cholesterol levels by inhibiting the reabsorption of bile acids into the liver.…”

“…Honey with darker colors have higher antioxidant content than the honey with a lighter color. (1,17) According to Chen et al, (7) antioxidant compounds, such as quercetin, kaempferol, galangin, and various other flavonoid compounds, are able to help lowering LDL and cholesterol levels of blood. The antioxidant compounds work by inhibiting ACAT2, activating (up-regulating) LDL receptors, and activating CYP7A1.…”

BACKGROUNDCoronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, including Indonesia. One of the risk factors for CHD is hypercholesterolemia. One of the natural products that has been developed for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia is honey. Honey contains fructooligosaccharides, various vitamins, minerals, and enzymes which are supposedly able to lower blood cholesterol levels. This research aimed to study the influence of honey on the levels of blood total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels in Wistar rats. METHODSThis study was of experimental post test control group design. Twentyfour male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) were randomly divided into 4 groups. K1 was the negative control group (with normal diet), K2 was the positive control group (with high-fat diet), P1 was fed a high-fat diet for 7 days, followed by high-fat diet plus honey for the next 7 days. P2 was fed a high-fat diet for 7 days, followed by regular diet plus honey for the next 7 days. After completion of this treatment, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL levels were measured by the cholesterol oxidase phenol+aminophenazone (CHOD-PAP) method using enzymatic spectrophotometry principles. RESULTSThere were significant differences in total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL levels between all groups after day 15 (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONHoney supplementation was able to reduce the blood levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL. Honey supplementation accompanied by non-cholesterol feeds could more effectively lower total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL serum levels in Wistar rats. Keywords

“…If it is possible to regulate the microbiome balance by diet [58,81], a regular intake of honey as a replacement of sucrose, could be an option for a beneficial modification of the gut microbiota [80] Honey oligosaccharides, as a replacement for sucrose, seems to influence appetite-regulating hormones as well as energy intake [35,52] which has to be considered as a potentially important benefit of honey for preventing excess weight gain [64]. Since SYHF powder contains 25% natural honey, a significant daily intake of honey in a range of 50 to 75 g wet weight can be achieved if SYHF is used in a meal replacement strategy; this amount may be sufficient to assume a significant intake of oligosaccharides and their related benefits for health and nutrition.…”

achieve this goal, supervised programs can be applied over a period of at least 6 months delivered by an interdisciplinary team of physicians, psychologists and group behavior consultants and nutritionists. This approach produces healthy modifications in diet and exercise for an individual's every day practice [10].Even if such a program is insufficient to prove the long-term success, the significant findings in obese adults confirms that using modified lifestyle interventions are at least comparable with the results of pharmacological interventions after 12-months [66]. Nevertheless, it is discouraging knowing the level of success in weight loss programs while only a very small number of obese patients can be motivated to participate in a lifestyle intervention program [25].There is agreement that long-term therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) such as dietary behavior reformations and increasing daily physical activity, are the cornerstones in the prevention and management of obesity and its related health risk factors and are often combined with cognitive behavior modification techniques [10,85]. Furthermore, the use of meal replacements has been accepted as an effective therapeutic strategy for weight loss, particularly in the beginning of an intervention [4,5,26,83,85].Dietary approaches can achieve as much weight loss in obese outpatients as has been reported for the most successful drug treatments, but compliance with the prescribed diet can be poor unless the dietary recommendations are simple to follow [73]. Moreover, weight loss interventions utilizing a meal replacement together with dietary counselling and increased physical activity have led to substantial and significant favorable reductions in anthropometric measurements and metabolic risk factors while preserving skeletal muscle mass [7,8]. T h e following review will specially focus on the efficiency of a clinically proven meal replacement product which is commercially available as a soy-yoghurt-honey formula (SYHF; Almased®) against overweight, obesity and its related health risks. AbstractThere is an agreement that long-term Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) such as dietary behavior reformations and increasing daily physical activity, are the cornerstones in the prevention and management of obesity and its related health risk factors. Furthermore, the use of meal replacement diet has been accepted as an effective therapeutic strategy for a successful weight loss, particularly in the beginning of an intervention. The following review will specially focus on the efficiency of a clinically approved meal replacement product which is commercially available as a Soy-Yoghurt-Honey Formula (SYHF) which can be used to prevent, treat or manage overweight, obesity and its related health risks. The mentioned positive effects come not only by formula's low glycemic index as well as low caloric characteristics, but by its biologically active components such as soy isoflavones and soy and milk biological active peptides as well as antioxidants, enzymes and o...
