Brief summary
Thirteen healthy subjects (5 males; 8 females) ages 25-50 years, with BMI (body mass index): \<25 kg/m2 completed the study. The participants were selected randomly, either the control group (n= 7) or honey group (n= 6). Subjects of honey group consumed 25 g of honey each day for 4 weeks.
Detailed description
18 healthy participants (body mass index \[BMI\] \<25 kg/m2) between 25-50 years of age were recruited, of which 13 subjects (male \[n=5\]) and female \[n=8\]) completed the study. The participants were allocated randomly either control group (n= 7) or honey group (n= 6). Subjects of honey group consumed 25 g of honey each day for 4 weeks. Participants of both groups did not undergo a special diet regimen, drug therapy, or change in their lifestyle, such as physical exercise, during the period of study. A 3- day food record including two weekdays and one weekend day was used to assess the habitual food intake of the participants prior to initiation of the trial and repeated each week of intervention. Also, dietary intake was calculated using the database Food Processor® (Version. 10.3.0.), including nutritional information of Mexican foods when they weren't on the list.
