10 Health Benefits of Maple Syrup
Maple Syrup Benefit #5: Reduces Inflammation
Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury or attack by foreign substances or infections. Although helpful for such purposes and for a properly controlled length of time, when unchecked, inflammation can be disastrous as it may set the stage for diseases, some of which may be chronic in nature.
Maple syrup has demonstrable counter-inflammatory activities. This is an interesting property for a sweet foodstuff since, normally, sugar flares up inflammatory responses. To benefit from this property of maple syrup, incorporate it in your diet regularly. Some studies have also shown that maple syrup provides relief from pain in conditions like arthritis and heart-related disorders [^2].
