MOSCOW, 13 Jan. Honey has a number of useful properties, but when using it, you must observe the dosage, nutritionist Ekaterina Markova said. “First of all, you need to understand that honey is not a delicacy, but a medicine. The basis of carbohydrates in honey is glucose, fructose, constituting 90% of all sugars in the product. That is why it is important to observe the dosage! Honey is used at the rate of 1 gram per kilogram of human weight per day, «- said Markova.» Honey has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antitoxic, tonic properties, — continued the nutritionist. Trace elements of honey are in the most suitable form for assimilation by the human body. When choosing honey, give preference only to a certified product. In Russia, honey from northern bees is the most biologically active (due to the increased content of highly active enzymes). «Markova also considered it important to note the presence of contraindications for the use of honey. «This is a restriction of carbohydrates for the underlying disease, insulin resistance, individual intolerance. I do not recommend replacing sugar with honey,» the specialist summed up.
