How about drinking honey water after fitness?
After some people exercise, some people will be accompanied by dizziness and listlessness, which is the reason for the decrease of blood sugar. Therefore, for such people, the best way is to eat carbohydrates quickly, and studies have proved that honey has the best effect among many carbohydrates.

Dr Richard Crede, director of the Sports Nutrition Laboratory of the University of Memphis in the United States, who is in charge of this research, pointed out that honey can help the human body maintain a high standard of blood sugar level within two hours after training.

Then why honey? Can't glucose and sugar be used?

This is because the sugar in honey is mainly glucose and fructose, both of which are monosaccharides and can be directly absorbed by the human body. What about sugar? This is a kind of polysaccharide. If you eat it, you must wait for it to break down into glucose and fructose. Which do you think is more suitable for rapid absorption by the body? It's obviously honey!

The key point is that besides sugar, honey also contains many vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, minerals, protein and aromatic substances, which is of great help to human recovery. This is the biggest difference between honey and sugar.

Many sports drinks, including Jianlibao, which we are familiar with, are made of honey as the main raw material, that is, honey contains a lot of fructose, which is much better than ordinary sugar. Honey can quickly help athletes get rid of fatigue.

In addition, honey itself is a natural food, which tastes very sweet. It is not only drinkable for bodybuilders, but also has a good health care function for children, women and especially the elderly. Therefore, honey is called "milk for the elderly".

So, when you feel tired or hypoglycemia after exercise, you can use 250ml of water and 2 spoonfuls of honey, and if possible, you can add protein powder to it. The effect is also very good. Remember to try next time.
