If you want to know whether honey has the effect of beauty and detoxification, you must look at the nutrients contained in honey. If you find honey in the food ingredient list of China, you will find that the main ingredient of honey is sugar, and the sugar content in 100g honey is as high as 75.6%, followed by water. The contents of dietary fiber, calcium, iron, potassium and vitamins add up to only 1% of honey.
The effect of honey on human body is actually mainly to provide energy for human body, and the nutritional value of eating honey is to quickly replenish energy for human body. Eating honey when you are hungry can reduce the occurrence of hypoglycemia. But if you eat honey regularly, it will also have an adverse effect on blood sugar. Especially for diabetics, eating honey is like adding insult to injury, and there will be more problems with blood sugar.
If a healthy adult drinks honey regularly, it will undoubtedly increase energy intake. These extra energy, if not consumed by physical exercise, will increase the risk of obesity. This will not only affect our health, but also increase the risk of illness.
Some people may say that drinking honey water can promote defecation and prevent constipation. Toxins in the human body are mainly excreted through feces and urine, of which feces is the main excretion channel. If constipation occurs, toxins will continue to accumulate in the intestine if they cannot be excreted through feces in time. The accumulated toxins are harmful to intestinal health and increase the risk of colon cancer. At the same time, it can also cause symptoms such as dull skin and pigmentation.
Some people will feel more relaxed after drinking honey water. The reason is that the human body is intolerant of fructose contained in honey, not that honey can promote defecation. If you drink honey for a long time, it will increase the risk of gout. When fructose in honey is decomposed, it will produce uric acid, and it will also inhibit the body from excreting uric acid, so that the blood uric acid level will increase, thus inducing gout.
Honey is a kind of food with single nutrition and high energy content, which is not suitable for long-term drinking. It is ok to drink honey water occasionally, but it is not appropriate to drink honey water often. After all, health is more important than health. If honey has any effect, it may be that the cough relieving effect of honey is worth mentioning.
Children cough, and eating a spoonful of honey before going to bed at night can play a role in relieving cough. Only honey can relieve cough, and it is only effective for children. Adults eat honey directly, and the cough relieving effect is not obvious. For honey, there is no need to pursue it excessively. Honey is just an ordinary food, a food with sugar as the main ingredient. The so-called magical effect of honey is just a gimmick sold by merchants. Even the best honey, just honey, can't play the role of medicine.
