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.
A healthy habit learned
in childhood stays with them their entire life. And health is a very important
factor in everybody’s life.
We can replace sugar
with honey in almost all our food items and also can teach our kids to do so.
