Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Flower Honey
Metabolic Effect: Flower honey is a quick source of energy due to its natural sugar content. However, due to its high glycemic index, it can quickly raise blood sugar levels. This is a point to be considered especially for diabetic patients.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming flower honey alone, consuming it with protein-containing foods such as yogurt or milk ensures a more balanced rise in blood sugar. It is also important to consume it in moderation.
Things to Consider: One teaspoon of flower honey may contain approximately the same amount of sugar as one serving of fruit. Therefore, attention should be paid to portions to keep daily sugar intake under control.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one teaspoon of flower honey, you need to walk at a light pace for about 5 minutes. This can be a small incentive to increase your daily activity level.
