Specialists from the Office of Rospotrebnadzor in the Krasnoyarsk Territory explained why birch sap is useful and who should use it with caution.
The department explained that birch sap cannot be considered sap in the usual sense. It is obtained in the spring from special notches in the trunk of a birch tree, and in composition and taste it differs from traditional fruit and vegetable juices.
According to experts, properly collected birch sap contains potassium and magnesium, which support the functioning of the heart and blood vessels. It also contains B vitamins – they help reduce anxiety and stress, so it is recommended to drink the drink before bed.
In addition, during periods of remission of gastrointestinal diseases, the juice helps protect the mucous membrane and speeds up digestion. Rospotrebnadzor noted that the drink also helps strengthen the immune system and can be useful for intoxication and respiratory tract infections.
Fresh birch sap should be clear and colorless, with a slightly sweet taste.
At the same time, experts warned that the drink should be consumed with caution by people with individual intolerance, allergies to birch catkin pollen and severe urolithiasis.
