3 Benefits of Honey vs Sugar
Remember Honey and Sugar have almost the same calories in them. So when you think why change to honey if I'm adding the same calories...this is why! I hope this helps you make the better choice!
1. Sugar is made up of two molecules bonded together, when we eat sugar our body has to use it's own enzymes to break down the sugar before we can use the sugar's energy.
The bees add a special enzyme to the nectar to make the honey into two simple sugars which our body can adsorb directly. So the Glycemic Index of the honey is less, which is better for our blood sugar levels!
2. Table Sugar lacks vitamins and minerals, so your body has to use it's nutrients to metabolize the sugar. Which is why eating to much sugar for long periods of time can cause malnutrition.
Honey Contains natural vitamins and minerals which helps your body absorb the bad cholesterol.
3. Honey also have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which sugar does not.
