Honey for Athletes

In order to have a competitive edge, athletes often use drugs for high athletic performance. Honey's impact on athletes has always been neglected, but there has been more and more research on a diet to help athletes recover, especially honey. The National Honey Board recently found that honey has the same functions but less of a negative impact. This clinical trial is the third in a series of studies focusing on the use of honey by athletes. The first study (involving 71 subjects) determined that honey has a milder effect on blood sugar than other popular forms of carbohydrate gel. The second study in the series (with 39 weight-trained subjects) investigated the combination of honey with a protein supplement and suggested that honey speeds muscle recovery after a workout. Many claim honey can be used as a performance booster...honey can be eaten for endurance exercise and can be eaten as a protein. We should make good use of honey because it is easy to eat. We can drink honey water, which is easily absorbed by our body and can be used as a dip with bread, or with salad or vegetables.
