A leading nutritionist has revealed a simple switch for your daily brew that can help prevent those dreaded midday energy slumps. The advice comes as many Brits seek smarter, more nourishing choices for their everyday routines.
Why Honey Trumps Sugar
Nutritional Therapist Liliana Trukawka explains there is a fundamental difference between reaching for the sugar bowl and opting for honey. While both contain natural sugars, honey offers far more than just sweetness.
She elaborates: "Unlike refined sugar, honey contains trace vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health. It also has a lower glycaemic index than sugar, meaning it releases energy more steadily rather than causing sharp spikes and crashes."
The benefits are particularly potent with Manuka honey. Trukawka highlights its unique antibacterial properties and immune-supporting activity, thanks to its special MGO (methylglyoxal) compound.
