Honey is a common sweetener for foods and a powerful medicinal tool. Physiological and Biochemical effects of honey vary with the botanical source of nectar. Natural honey is considered a valuable medicinal food and has been found to be useful in management of diabetes and dyslipidemia. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of honey on fasting blood glucose level and BMI in normal healthy individuals. Material and methods: 70 gm honey dissolved in 130 ml of water was administered daily on empty stomach for 30 days to the 30 normal healthy subjects under study. Estimation of blood glucose was done before and after administration of honey by GOD-POD method. Measurement of anthropometric parameters (weight, waist/hip circumference and BMI) and blood pressure of the subjects was recorded at the beginning and after completion of the study. Results: Honey administration lowered blood glucose levels in healthy individuals and a significant reduction in BMI and fasting blood glucose level was observed in our study. Conclusion: Present study suggests the hypothesis that honey might have potential to modulate fasting blood glucose and BMI of normal healthy subjects, which are risk factors for chronic metabolic disorders.
