Doctor warns Russians against common mistake when consuming honey
The therapist urged people not to make a common mistake when consuming honey.
Doctor Andrey Tyazhelnikov spoke about a habit that deprives one of benefits or even causes harm.
Honey can be eaten in its natural form or dissolved in warm, but not hot, drinks, RIA Novosti writes.
In boiling water this valuable product loses its properties. It turns out to be just a sweet drink.
Warm water allows you to reveal the full potential of honey, which contains a group of B vitamins, as well as a lot of microelements, flavonoids and organic acids.
If honey is used correctly, it benefits the cardiovascular system and immunity.
According to the doctor, you shouldn't heat the water too much. After forty degrees, the product loses its beneficial properties.
Therefore, honey should be consumed either as a snack or added to a slightly warm drink.
For example, when you have a cold, milk with honey or tea with lemon are popular. Citrus fruits, by the way, also lose some of their beneficial properties in hot water.
