What is the use?

Natural honey is a special product. Although it is classified as a carbohydrate, its chemical base is simple sugars. They are absorbed quickly enough – in about half an hour, without requiring processing with food enzymes.

Accordingly, the load on the pancreas is minimal, if you do not overeat healthy treats.

  • improvement of metabolic processes;
  • antibacterial effect;
  • strengthening the immune system;
  • prevention of tumor processes;
  • getting rid of toxins and toxins;
  • increased blood circulation;
  • mild analgesic effect.

Possible harm

Natural honey can be harmful to health if:

  • the person has a congenital or acquired food intolerance to any beekeeping product, including bee venom;
  • if the pathology of the pancreas affects the endocrine system, there is an increase in blood sugar;
  • if there is an acute inflammatory process in the gastrointestinal tract (not necessarily only in the pancreas itself);
  • if a person suffers from skin diseases accompanied by a retention of carbohydrates in the epidermis.

Also at risk are small children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, obese people (with overweight, the use of a honey product creates additional stress on the liver and pancreas).
