How about drinking honey water during exercise? What are the benefits?
Replenish energy

Honey contains carbohydrates, fructose and glucose. Exercise means that the human body relies on glucose stored in muscles and liver to participate in functions, thus maintaining the intensity of exercise. Drinking honey water in moderation can supplement enough carbohydrates and sugar, ensure that there is enough glycogen in the human body, and effectively provide energy for the human body.

Promote muscle growth

In addition to fructose and glucose, honey also contains a variety of minerals, which can supplement the minerals lost with sweat during exercise, and the sugar in honey can be directly absorbed by the human body without being decomposed and transformed by the liver. The intake of carbohydrates can promote the secretion of insulin in the human body. Therefore, drinking honey water in moderation can effectively promote muscle growth.

Keep blood sugar stable

If the glucose concentration in the blood is too low after exercise, people will have hypoglycemia reaction. Maintaining high blood sugar level is very important for muscle recovery. Honey water is rich in sugar. Drinking honey water in moderation can effectively supplement sugar, maintain the ideal blood sugar content within two hours after exercise and promote muscle recovery.

Replenish water and detoxify

Drinking honey water can also replenish the water lost by sweating during exercise and help accelerate blood circulation in the body. Acetylcholine in honey acts on parasympathetic nerves and promotes intestinal peristalsis. Probiotics in honey are activated after dilution, which will release a variety of invertases and accelerate the discharge of toxins in the body.
