Aging is a natural process which is peculiar to all living things. This is very true of human beings, who are the highest of God's creation.
Studies show that aging is accelerated if we dont have enough nutrients required for healthy development of our body organs.This is the reason why our body organs tend to lose their functions with age. Various abuses such as drugs and too much sexual fulfilment can also speed up the aging process.
The following tips will reduce the speed at which one ages:
1. Eat the most nutritious food possible. There may also be need to take nutritional supplements to augument what is obtained from food.
2. Maintain a habit of rest: It is good to have time to rest, daily, weekly and annually.It is not a bad idea to travel on holiday for a change in evironment.
3. maintain a positive mental attitude: people who have a positive attitude towards life are likely to live longer than anyone with a negative attitude.
It is my belief that if these tips are implemented they will actually help us to renew our youth like the eagles, as promised in the Holy Bible.

Honey is produced by bees by changing nectar, which is obtained from flowers into honey. The honey is harvested by man in the wild.

This is due to the increased awareness of the nutritional and economic benefits of honey, a situation which leads to increased production of honey.
Nutritionally, honey is a very good food substance which contains a lot of carbohydrates. These nutrients are easily digested, absorbed and utilized by the body of man as a source of energy. In addition, the pollen remnants extracted from bees hives are eaten by man as a source of protein. Honey is particularly useful to diabetic patients as a substitute for refined sugar.
In African societies, honey is an important components of the requirements during weddings and naming ceremonies. It is common to bless people by saying that "Your life and marriage will be sweet like honey"
