Autumn is the season when the temperature and humidity begin to drop. Whether in transportation or in the office, we can often notice that the number of people suffering from colds has increased. People often cough and have a runny nose. Not only is the flu prevalent, but the skin is particularly easy to fall off, and the lips are always peeling and the skin is itchy, which makes people very tired of the big and small conditions that appear in the body. At this time, it is very suitable to eat honey to supplement physical strength and improve immunity! 1. Antibacterial effect Honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, which can inhibit the bacterial reproduction of respiratory system and prevent and improve sore throat, cough and cold. According to scientific research, honey has a good therapeutic effect on cough and sore throat. You can drink it directly in water, or add a little black pepper to brew it together, which can also promote blood circulation, with better effect. 2. Improve dry itching Recently, many skin care companies have added honey to their maintenance ingredients. In Japan, there are often messages about putting honey on your face for maintenance. This is because honey contains nicotinic acid, a beauty ingredient that has attracted much attention recently, and zinc that activates metabolism, which is very beneficial to skin care. A study compared glycerin, a humectant commonly used in skin care products, with honey, and found that honey has the same water retention effect as glycerin, especially royal jelly, which has the best durability and can give skin moisture and reduce fine lines caused by dryness. 3. Eliminate fatigue. In summer, because you can't eat in summer, you often drink cold drinks and blow cold air, and the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor leads to autonomic nervous disorder. All kinds of bad factors planted in the body are particularly prone to break out in autumn, which makes people feel weak and tired. The main components of honey, fructose and glucose, can be absorbed by the human body in a short time and converted into energy. When you are in poor health, you can absorb nutrients efficiently and achieve the effect of eliminating fatigue without burdening your stomach. In addition, honey and lemon are very suitable, not only delicious, but also contain citric acid. In autumn, it is better to slice the lemon and soak it in honey, or add water or black tea to drink it together. 4. Stabilize blood sugar Although honey is sweet, it may make people who want to lose weight avoid it, but honey is actually a low GI food, which can slowly raise blood sugar. When the blood sugar level rises between meals, insulin will be secreted. But once suddenly secreted in large quantities, it will cause fat accumulation and become the cause of obesity. 5. Oligosaccharides that protect gastrointestinal honey can increase beneficial bacteria in the intestine and reconstruct the intestinal environment. Intestinal health controls 70% of human immunity, which is also closely related to vascular health and mood. Too many bad bacteria in the intestine will increase the risk of depression and lead to insomnia. Intestinal health can be said to dominate physical and mental health. You can change sugar into honey when cooking and making tea. Because honey is sweet, you only need to use half the sugar. Because honey contains enzymes, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, it will be destroyed at high temperature, so when using honey for conditioning, it should not exceed 40 degrees. The news pointed out that 70% of the honey bought from supermarkets, supermarkets and organic stores is fake honey. When buying honey, you must identify the certification mark of country S. Honey with words such as sucrose and fructose in food ingredients is mostly synthesized by syrup, so it is best to buy bottled honey with clear labels.
