Children’s love for sugar is no hidden truth. From gorging on delicious sweets to craving for chocolates – many children crave all things sweet. However, consumption of too much sugar can lead to several health problems like weight gain, elevated blood sugar levels, and increased uric acid levels.
It is not easy for children to give up on sugary delights, especially chocolates and ice creams. But, what can we do to ensure that this high consumption of sugar is moderated? Honey can come to our rescue! Yes, the oh-so-sweet honey can act as a substitute for sugar. So, while you cannot cut down on the sugar your child consumes in the form of chocolates and ice creams, you can substitute the sugar in his juices, milk and eatables.
