The benefits of honey go beyond its great taste. Honey is a natural source of carbohydrates which provide strength and energy to our bodies. It is known for its effectiveness in instantly boosting performance and enhancing endurance of athletes. It also reduces muscle fatigue. Its natural fruit sugar plays an important role in preventing fatigue during exercise. The glucose in honey is absorbed by the body quickly and gives an immediate energy boost, while the fructose is absorbed more slowly providing sustained energy. It is known that honey has also been found to keep levels of blood sugar fairly constant compared to other types of sugar. So, to experience these health benefits of honey, here are a few tips for you:
1. Next time you go for a workout, take a spoon of honey to enable you to go that extra mile. 2. If you are feeling low and lethargic in the morning, spread it on hot toast or replace the sugar in your tea with it for a refreshing surge of energy. 3. If your kids are finding hard to cope with the physical strain from the buzzing activities at school, prepare them some sandwiches with honey, butter and jam to make sure they have enough energy to sustain them throughout the day.
