Everyone loves honey. Kids, young boys, girls, men, women and grandmothers find different uses for it. It is a proven medicine according to Ayurveda. It is considered as an elixir according to Vedas. It is one among the five amritas, the Panchamrita.

In today’s world honey can help with Weight management. It can replace sugar as a sweetener; it aids digestion and fights minor ailments like cough and cold. It is an active ingredient in many beauty treatments. Honey is an essential item in almost every household in India.

Honey being a plant based sugar is proven to be a healthy replacement for all kinds of sugars.

But this honey often undergoes adulteration and we end up consuming unwanted calories in the name of honey. Often the adulterer uses glucose, dextrose, molasses, corn syrup, sugar syrup, invert sugar, flour, starch, or any other similar product to create artificial honey. The pure honey that is created by the bees is rich in antioxidants and is easily digestible.

In this era, we struggle with obesity, diabetes and heart disease and we have the root cause of all this in our sugar consumption and lazy eating habits. Our ancestors were aware about the benefits of honey and were always careful in using honey in place of sugar. We use sugar excessively and our kids get addicted to it as well. But if we begin early, we can teach them the benefits of honey diet.

We can replace sugar with honey in almost all our food items and also can teach our kids to do so.
