A spoonful of honey makes the heart beat soundly, says a dietician

A spoonful of honey makes the heart beat soundly, says a dietician

New Delhi, Sep 23 (UNI) A spoonful of honey makes the heart beat soundly, suggests a dietitian.
Along with a host of 'superfoods' like fenugreek, almonds/walnuts or the garlic bulb that are available in most Indian kitchens, having just a teaspoon of honey daily could lead to modest reductions in blood pressure, an important risk factor for heart disease and reduce “bad” LDL cholesterol while raising “good” HDL cholesterol, says Daljit Kaur, Head-Dietitian at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute.
Honey blocks cholesterol synthesis and the antioxidants present in honey are known to reduce risk of heart attacks, strokes and some types of cancer. It may also promote eye health, and notes that some studies even suggest that honey improves heart disease risk factors in people with diabetes.
