IT DEPENDS
Honey in its natural state is extremely beneficial! It is regarded as a superfood and a popular medicine not without reason. This unusual product is the result of the tremendous effort of busy bees (to product about 1 kilogram of honey, a bee has to sit down either on a flower or leaf about 4 million times in order to gather the appropriate amount of pollen) and makes for decline of blood pressure, improves blood circulation, has preventative influence on a liver as well as strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. However, after heating honey up to 40 degrees Centigrade, it loses the huge amount of its major nutrients and almost all healing properties, becoming the valueless mixture of fructose and glucose. Honey in such state still remains tasty, but it is no longer our ally in the battle against diseases.
The same accuracy concerns a lemon. Tea with a slice of lemon is healthier only when we add lemon to cool or at least tepid drink. It should be noted that, however, this one which we drink in winter evenings with addition of lemon which has to equip us with ascorbic acid is generally hot. Unfortunately, ascorbic acid is a compound which moulder in high temperatures.
