Rule #1: Norm
The daily intake of honey is 1–2 tablespoons. This is exactly the amount that will give the body a boost of energy and vivacity for the whole day, as well as provide the body with all the necessary vitamins and nutrients.
Since if you get carried away with honey, you can easily gain weight. Indeed, the composition of honey includes not only fructose, but also glucose, which is about 40%.

Rule #2: Time of day
Many doctors recommend taking honey in the morning. This is explained by the fact that there are a lot of carbohydrates in honey, which will give you energy for the whole day, and by the end of the day, the calories that you ate with honey will definitely be burned.
You can eat a couple of spoons on an empty stomach, before you drink the obligatory glass of water in the morning. Some prefer to dilute honey in warm water and drink it before breakfast.
Also, do not forget about the excellent cold medicine. Warm the milk, and add a spoonful of honey to it, mix thoroughly, and take it before going to bed. Such a “potion” will relax the body, warm it up after severe frosts, and set you up for a good sleep.

Rule #3: Temperature
Honey does not tolerate high temperatures. Do not melt honey at a temperature of more than forty degrees. Especially if you want to add it to dishes or pastries. And all because honey in this case simply loses its beneficial properties and vitamins.
And if we are talking about tea, then you need to be patient. After all, tea should cool down to forty degrees, and only then it will be possible to add honey there. In any case, we do not drink boiling water, so there is nothing difficult about it. However, if you still add honey, it will be fraught with the fact that our storehouse will produce toxins that can even harm the body.

In order to improve immunity with honey, you need to take a few tablespoons of honey every day. This will only consolidate the healing process, which will make your body more resistant to many colds.
Also, in honey, unlike fruits, which are not available in the right amount in winter, all vitamins and nutrients are stored for a long time.
