According to the famous Russian nutritionist Mikhail Ginzburg, the maximum amount of honey that you can eat in a day is three teaspoons.
August 14, in Day of the Honey Savior, a nutritionist shared recommendations on how to consume honey. Ginzburg said that this product belongs to allergens, and an allergy to honey can manifest itself in a person at any age, regardless of its absence in previous years of life. In addition, honey has a very high content of natural sugars, and people who believe that it is healthier to eat honey instead of table sugar are seriously mistaken.
Given these risks, the nutritionist has named the maximum amount of honey that can be eaten per day.
“For young healthy people, it is recommended to consume no more than two to three teaspoons of honey per day, and for people with certain diseases – no more than one,” Ginzburg said in a comment to TASS.
The doctor added that in the presence of obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, honey should be consumed strictly in doses – a maximum of a teaspoon per day. Allergy sufferers (even those who are not allergic to honey) can afford no more than half a teaspoon per day.
Ginsburg noted that honey is a “superfood” for people who are recovering from illness, are weak, emaciated . Saturated with carbohydrates, bioactive substances, this product contributes well to the return of former energy.
