Adding honey to your diet
Honey is still an added sugar; consuming it in moderation is essential if you want not to wreck your health.
The appropriate amount of added sugar for women is around 6 teaspoons or 100 calories daily. This recommendation increases to 9 teaspoons or 150 calories a day for men. So, if you are consuming honey, you should keep this in mind. You can have a bowl of plain yoghurt with a slight drizzle of honey or have it with your favourite fruits. You can also consume honey through different marinades and sauces.
