Is a spoonful of honey a day good for you?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Honey improves heart health, wound healing, and also has antioxidant properties. However, consuming too much may cause adverse effects due to its high sugar and calorie content. So, it's okay to use a spoonful daily but best to use honey to replace other forms of sugar.

To gain weight effectively, you can consider taking weight gainer supplements. One popular option is "Ensure Plus" which is a high-calorie nutritional supplement drink. Additionally, you can also try "Apetamin Syrup" which is known to stimulate appetite and promote weight gain. The recommended dosage is 5ml (1 teaspoon) three times a day before meals.
