Honey, as we know, is a natural immunomodulator, contains a lot of vitamins and can even act as a natural antidepressant.
The product's beneficial properties do not end there: some use it to heal wounds, some try to slow down the aging process with honey, and some treat coughs with honey.
These qualities make honey an ideal supplement to the diet of women carrying a child, but not everything is so simple.
The thing is that honey can cause allergies: sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, runny nose and even swelling.
True, the symptoms are a consequence of consuming not honey itself as a beekeeping product, but the pollen contained in it, albeit in small quantities.
Therefore, it is safer to eat industrially produced honey, specially purified from traces of pollen.
In addition, a doctor may recommend that a pregnant woman give up honey if she is contraindicated in consuming large amounts of sweets.
This happens due to gestational diabetes or large weight gain.
