(1) Antibacterial honey is a natural bacteriostatic agent, and high-quality honey will not rot at room temperature for several years. Its antibacterial effect is mainly due to: honey contains more than 75% sugar, and many microorganisms can't get the water they need for normal survival in this high osmotic pressure environment; The pH value of honey is between 3.2 and 4.5, and this acidity is enough to inhibit the growth and reproduction of many pathogenic bacteria. Honey contains glucose oxidase, which reacts with glucose to generate hydrogen peroxide, which has antibacterial effect; Honey also contains flavonoids and other substances, which has certain antibacterial effect. A large number of studies have proved that honey has antibacterial effects on a variety of bacteria and molds, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus Niger. When treating a wound, applying honey to the affected part can reduce exudation, relieve pain, promote wound healing and prevent infection. But honey is very sensitive to yeast, and honey with high water content is easy to ferment and deteriorate. (2) Longevity honey has a good anti-aging effect. Eating honey regularly can strengthen the body and prolong life. Scholars in the former Soviet Union investigated 200 elderly people over 100 years old, among whom 143 were honey farmers, which confirmed that their longevity was related to eating honey frequently. The theory of "free radicals" was first put forward by Deham Harman, a British scholar, in 1954, which believed that human aging was caused by excessive free radicals in the body. Honey contains a lot of antioxidants, which can remove the "garbage" in the human body-oxygen free radicals, thus achieving the effect of delaying aging. (3) Runchang laxative honey has a good effect of moistening intestines and can be used to treat constipation. This is an ancient prescription, and it is also well-known common sense. The mechanism of honey laxative is that acetylcholine in honey will act on parasympathetic nerve and promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. In addition, it is also related to the role of probiotics. (4) The protective effect of liver-protecting honey is mainly manifested in the following aspects: (1) Monosaccharide, multivitamins, enzymes and amino acids in honey can be directly absorbed and utilized by human body without being processed and synthesized by liver, so it has certain protective effect on liver. (2) Glucose in honey can be converted into glycogen for storage in the liver, which can accumulate and supply energy for the metabolic activities of the liver, thus ensuring the normal function of the liver. (3) Honey can promote liver tissue regeneration and repair damage. (4) Honey is rich in choline, which can purify various tissues in the body and strengthen the function of the liver. (5) Honey contains many enzymes, which can enhance the detoxification function of the liver. In addition, honey contains a variety of nutrients and has a strong liver function, thus enhancing the body's resistance to infectious diseases. (5) After hangover and drunkenness, there will be symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea and fever. Recently, researchers at the National Headache Research Foundation found that the best way to relieve pain after drinking a lot of alcohol is to drink honey. This is because honey contains a special kind of fructose, which can promote the decomposition and absorption of alcohol and relieve headaches, especially those caused by red wine. In addition, honey also has hypnotic effect, which can make people fall asleep quickly and won't have a headache after getting up the next day. (6) Increasing glucose, vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and other substances in sleep honey can nourish nerves and regulate the nervous system, thus promoting sleep. New york Roosevelt Medical Center has done experiments, and the results show that eating honey properly before going to bed has hypnotic effect. The first sleep time of patients who eat honey before going to bed is four times that of patients who don't eat honey. The best food for hypnosis is adding honey to hot milk. Ioliosh, a writer of the former Soviet Union, pointed out in the book "The Medical Performance of Honey": "A spoonful of honey taken orally by neurasthenia every day before going to bed can promote sleep." (VII) Promoting tissue regeneration Honey is rich in nutrients, especially a certain amount of biotin, which can effectively promote the regeneration of traumatic tissues. The mechanism of honey promoting tissue proliferation may be to increase the content of glutathione in the secretion of wound tissue and accelerate the redox reaction of wound site, thus stimulating the division and growth of cells in this site, thus promoting wound healing. Honey can promote the growth of granulation tissue for various delayed healing ulcers, and promote and accelerate wound healing for burn and scald tissues. Therefore, honey has long been widely used in surgical treatment, which is not only effective for all kinds of hard injuries, but also has a good effect on infectious burns and frostbite. (VIII) Beauty and Skin Care As early as 1700 years ago, China began to use honey for skin care and beauty. Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty recorded in the "Bee Fu" that "the moth was used to make it look beautiful", that is, the daughter of the Jin Dynasty directly wiped her face with natural honey. The beauty function of honey is because the skin care components in honey, such as glucose, fructose, protein, vitamins, amino acids, trace elements and enzymes, act on epidermis and dermis, provide nutrition for tissues and cells, promote their division and growth, and have a good effect on improving aging skin, reducing pigmentation, preventing dry skin and moistening skin. When fresh honey is applied to the skin, it can moisten and nourish the skin, making the skin delicate, smooth and elastic. 1998 Japan's Yomiuri shimbun published an exclusive interview, introducing the female writer Eiko Hirayama, saying that she is always young, unlike an 80-year-old man at all, with no wrinkles on her face. What is the secret? The woman writer said, "I just wiped my face with gauze dipped in some honey juice every morning for decades." She also said, "My mother taught me this. She lived to be 90 years old and had almost no wrinkles on her face. " (9) Promoting children's growth and development Modern research shows that children often eat honey, which can promote their growth and development, make their teeth and bones grow fast and strong, and enhance their resistance to diseases. Professor Tomowu of the University of Tokyo has done a large-scale clinical experiment, and the results show that children who feed honey and children who feed sugar
