Benefits
- ✓Natural sweetener with more sweetening power than sugar - you need a smaller amount for the same sweet taste
- ✓Contains traces of antioxidants (phenolic compounds) and enzymes, unlike pure refined sugar
- ✓A quick source of glucose and fructose - useful as immediate energy around intense training
- ✓Raw, unfiltered honey retains more bioactive compounds than heavily processed versions
- ✓Used as a sugar alternative, it can add flavor and complexity at a similar caloric cost
Considerations
- !Practically 100% sugar (82g/100g) - strict moderation for people with diabetes or insulin resistance
- !High caloric density (304 kcal/100g) - easy to overdo on pancakes, in tea, or yogurt
- !Not to be given to infants under 1 year old due to the risk of infant botulism
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends honey as a sweetener instead of refined sugar, but still in moderation - a teaspoon (21g) brings ~64 kcal that count in your daily budget. Weigh it or use a measuring spoon instead of pouring straight from the jar, because it is very easy to underestimate. Added to Greek yogurt with fruit, it provides natural sweetness without turning the snack into an excessively caloric dessert.
