If you bought natural honey, then this is only half the battle, because all the benefits can be destroyed due to these mistakes.
It turns out that you need to use this sweet product correctly. Otherwise, everything is in vain, and in some cases, even harmful to health.
Do not heat
Honey should not be added to liquids that are hotter than 40-45 degrees. Otherwise, a substance called oxymethylfurfural will form.
Experts warn that this component can cause cancer. That is why nutritionists and beekeepers never recommend adding honey to hot tea or coffee.
However, store-bought products should be treated with suspicion. Industrial honey is heated before canning so that it can be stored longer.
After passing through high temperatures, it probably contains hydroxymethylfurfural.
Moderation in everything
Consuming honey in uncontrolled quantities can lead to obesity, diabetes and other disorders associated with high insulin production.
Dangerous for people with low blood pressure
Honey can lower blood pressure. Therefore, it can cause health problems for people with low blood pressure.
Conclusion
The benefits of honey have been proven by hundreds of studies. But before using it, you should first rely on your health condition.
In addition, it is necessary to remember about the measure. And it is better to consume this product in the form of an aqueous solution (1 tbsp. per glass of water at room temperature). Also an excellent option is to have it as a snack.
