Glucose and fructose in honey can quickly replenish energy, helping muscles store glycogen and maintain exercise performance. In addition, honey contains polyphenols and many natural antioxidants that help reduce inflammation, limit oxidative stress caused by high-intensity exercise, thereby reducing muscle damage and speeding up recovery.
This seemingly simple drink combines energy-saving with anti-inflammatory properties - something many artificial sports drinks cannot do. Without additives or artificial colors, honey has benefits proven by its natural ingredients.
Honey is also a rich source of carbohydrates, about 220 calories per 70 grams. Therefore, people with diabetes or those who are controlling their weight need to carefully consider their consumption.
Therefore, honey - a natural source of antioxidants - can become a suitable alternative for the pre-workout period.
Suggested Uses: Drink about 90 minutes before your workout to give your body time to absorb sugar.
Mix 70 grams of honey (about 3 tablespoons) with 250 ml of warm water.
If you do it in the morning or on an empty stomach, you can add a small amount of protein to reduce blood sugar fluctuations.
Avoid taking caffeine with you because it can affect your digestive absorption.
People with diabetes, insulin resistance or special diseases should consult experts before using.
