It is a complex biological system containing over 180 different compounds - sugars, enzymes, organic acids, amino acids, vitamins and antioxidants.<\/p><p>\u00a0 1. <strong>Nutritional composition<\/strong><\/p><p>The main components of honey are:<br \/>-Fructose (\u224838%)<br \/>-Glucose (\u224831%)<br \/>-Water (\u224817-20%)<br \/>-Enzymes (invertase, diastase, glucose oxidase)<br \/>-Polyphenols and flavonoids<\/p><p>It is antioxidants that are linked to potential benefits for the body.<br \/>Thanks to the simple carbohydrates , honey is quickly absorbed and provides a quick energy boost. It is suitable for physical exertion or fatigue because it is a natural source of energy.<\/p><p><br \/>\u00a0 <strong>2. Antioxidant activity<\/strong><\/p><p>Polyphenols in honey help fight free radicals. Darker types of honey usually contain higher levels of antioxidants.<\/p><p><br \/><strong>\u00a0 3. Support with colds<\/strong><\/p><p>Traditionally, honey is used to relieve coughs and throat irritation because of its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties! The combination with warm tea or lemon is widespread in folk medicine and practice!<\/p><p>Important: honey should not be given to children under 3 years of age because of the possibility of the causative agent of botulinum poisoning or the presence of multiple allergens!<\/p><p><br \/>\u00a0 <strong>4. Honey is certainly a healthier alternative<\/strong> from refined sugar as a sweetener because although it contains sugars, honey has a lower glycemic index than sugar and contains bioactive substances that are lacking in industrial sweeteners.<\/p><p><br \/><strong>\u00a0 Conclusion<\/strong><br \/>Natural honey of proven origin can be part of a balanced diet when consumed in moderation. No matter how intense your day, your daily dose should not exceed 1-2g\/kg body weight divided into 3 - 4 intakes. .\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041c\u0435\u0434\u044a\u0442 \u043d\u0435 \u0435 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0442\u043e \u0435\u0441\u0442\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0441\u043b\u0430\u0434\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b. \u0422\u043e\u0439 \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u043b\u044f\u0432\u0430 \u0441\u043b\u043e\u0436\u043d\u0430 \u0431\u0438\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0433\u0438\u0447\u043d\u0430 \u0441\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043c\u0430, \u0441\u044a\u0434\u044a\u0440\u0436\u0430\u0449\u0430 \u043d\u0430\u0434 180 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u043b\u0438\u0447\u043d\u0438 \u0441\u044a\u0435\u0434\u0438\u043d\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f \u2013 \u0437\u0430\u0445\u0430\u0440\u0438, \u0435\u043d\u0437\u0438\u043c\u0438, \u043e\u0440\u0433\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0447\u043d\u0438<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[49],"class_list":["post-960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-honey","tag-honey"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medenafantazia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medenafantazia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medenafantazia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medenafantazia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medenafantazia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=960"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/medenafantazia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/960\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3192,"href":"https:\/\/medenafantazia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/960\/revisions\/3192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/medenafantazia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medenafantazia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medenafantazia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
