First, how to eat honey
1. How to eat: Generally speaking, if it is fresh honey, I suggest you take it directly because it tastes fresh and sweet; If you don't like the sweet and greasy taste, you can also choose to use water to make honey water to drink. You just need to take the right amount of warm water and the right amount of honey, mix them together and stir them evenly to drink. But remember that honey water should be brewed with warm water or cold water below 40 degrees, so as to avoid high-temperature boiling water destroying active enzymes in honey.
2, dosage: honey exists as a way of health tonic, everyone should pay attention to the amount of food when eating. As a treatment or adjuvant therapy, adults are advised to take it at 150g per day, preferably at 100g, three times in the morning, middle and evening. Moreover, the consumption should be restrained at 30 grams, and the specific situation can increase with age; If it is used for treatment, it usually takes 2 months as a course of treatment; As a health food, it can be added or subtracted according to the situation, generally at 10-50g per day.
3, brewing taboo: never cook honey with boiling water or high temperature, because unreasonable heating will lead to serious damage to the nutrients in honey, but also lead to inactivation of active enzymes in honey, dark color, volatile fragrance, poor taste, sour taste.
4, taking time: the time to eat honey is also very particular. Generally speaking, 1- 1.5 hours before meals and 2-3 hours after meals are more appropriate.
Second, honey phase grams of food
"synopsis of the golden chamber": "raw onions should not be eaten with honey, which will kill people."
Compendium of Materia Medica: "Raw onion honey causes diarrhea."
1, honey can't be eaten with onions.
Honey can't be eaten with onions, because organic acids and enzymes in honey meet sulfur-containing amino acids in onions, which will cause harmful biochemical reactions or produce toxic substances, stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and lead to diarrhea.
2. Honey should not be eaten with tofu.
Tofu is sweet, salty and cold, and has the effect of clearing heat and dispersing blood. Eating with honey will cause diarrhea. In addition, various enzymes in honey and various minerals, plant proteins and organic acids in tofu will produce biochemical reactions that are not conducive to the body.
3. Honey should not be eaten with leeks.
Leek is rich in vitamin C, which is easily oxidized by copper and iron in honey and loses its function. In addition, honey can relieve constipation, and leek is rich in cellulose, which is easy to induce diarrhea. If you eat together, it is easy to cause diarrhea.
Third, the taboo population of honey
1, diabetic patients
People with diabetes should never eat honey. Every 1 00g of honey contains about 35g of glucose, 40g of fructose, 2g of sucrose and Hujing1g.. Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, which are easily absorbed by human body. After entering the intestine, it can be directly absorbed into the blood without digestion, which makes the blood sugar rise. So diabetics are not suitable for eating honey.
2. Patients with hepatitis B
Although honey has the function of nourishing and protecting the liver, it can improve the detoxification ability of the liver and repair damaged liver cells, but it is not suitable for hepatitis B patients, because eating honey will aggravate the fibrosis of the liver, which is not conducive to the recovery of hepatitis B patients and will aggravate the condition.
3. Infants under one year old
Honey contains Botox, which can cause poisoning symptoms for infants with poor stomach, especially infants within 6 months are more likely to be infected with this toxin; Botulinum poisoning occurs 8-36 hours after eating honey, and symptoms often include constipation, fatigue, loss of appetite and so on. Although the probability of infants being infected with botulism is very small, doctors still advise not to give honey and its products to children before 1 year old.

Main points of purchase
1, look at the appearance
True honey has strong light transmission. Honey is a transparent, translucent and viscous liquid at room temperature and can crystallize at low temperature. Inferior honey is mixed with impurities, such as dead bees, larvae, wax shavings and other impurities. If there is crystalline or semi-crystalline honey, take a little precipitate and rub it by hand, which will become a viscous liquid state, indicating that glucose crystals are real honey; The fake honey sediment mixed with white sugar is so hard that chopsticks can't be inserted and won't melt when twisted by hand.
Step 2 smell it
Real honey can give off a unique honey fragrance a few months after harvest, which is rich and lasting, and can be smelled when opened; Or put a little honey in the palm of your hand and rub it to see if the smell is normal, whether it is consistent with the name of the honey label, and whether there is any peculiar smell.
Step 3 pay attention to its color
Honey is white, light yellow, amber, reddish brown and so on. The new honey is light and transparent. The credibility is 70%. Reason: China has a vast territory and abundant resources, with dozens of nectaries of different colors and shapes. Not all new nectaries are transparent, but buckwheat nectar is fuzzy and opaque.
