Honey has been regarded as a sacred product for nourishing and beautifying since ancient times, and the price is also very cheap, and brewing is more convenient. With the ratio of honey 1 and boiled water 10, you can make delicious honey juice in three minutes, and add it to other juices and teas to replace sugar, which is of infinite benefit to your health.
The characteristic of honey is that once it enters the human body, it will be immediately absorbed and converted into energy, and there will be no disadvantage that sand decomposes calcium. When Chinese medicine is used, honey is often used as a medicine to treat cough, scald, diuresis, rhinitis, stomachache and other symptoms. In the past, human honey was even made into dressing products, so honey is a good thing for both internal and external use.
People who are afraid of obesity can add honey to any drink. Its sweetness is very fragrant, but it is harmless to the body. It contains polysaccharide, pollen, royal jelly, sucrose, minerals, yeast and other nutrients. It has the effects of calming the spirit, improving the weak constitution, expelling toxin and eliminating fatigue. Constipation can be improved by drinking honey.
Honey is fatal to small babies.
Summer is coming, and what the body needs most is clearing fire and detoxifying. Let honey be your scavenger! However, drinking honey is also taboo. It is best not to drink it for babies before one year old, because honey contains bacteria, which is a strong threat to babies with weak resistance. It has happened before that babies almost died after drinking honey. Because doctors usually advise newborn parents to train their babies to drink water, and they can add some sweetness to make them feel good about water, so some people give their babies honey. In fact, this is a fatal behavior.
Ancient medical doctors in China provided us with the best diet prescription: "Salt water in the morning, honey soup at night." Drinking salt water during the day and honey water at night is not only a good way to replenish human water, but also a good diet for health and anti-aging.
Nutritional value of honey
The nutritional value of honey is higher than sugar. Its main components are glucose and fructose, which are very beneficial to human digestion and absorption, unlike white sugar, which will increase the burden on the stomach. Fructose will not convert excess sugar into fat and store it in the body, which is a valuable feature of honey. It is also rich in minerals, such as potassium beneficial to the body and mind, magnesium with sedative effect, calcium for strengthening tendons and bones, iron and copper for enriching blood, phosphorus for strengthening the brain and various vitamins beneficial to the body, as well as amino acids, enzymes and organic acids.
Honey has important physiological functions such as strengthening the body, improving brain power, increasing hemoglobin and improving myocardium. Children's regular consumption of honey is conducive to growth and development, teeth and bones will grow fast and strong, and disease resistance can be enhanced.
Honey can't be eaten with boiled water.
Honey not only contains 65 ~ 80% glucose and fructose, but also is rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals, so it is a good nutritious food.
When drinking honey for children, be sure to drink it with warm water, and the water temperature should not exceed 60℃. If honey is mixed with high-temperature water, it will not only fail to maintain its natural color, fragrance and taste, but also destroy the nutritional components of honey to varying degrees.
According to experiments, boiling water can decompose amylase in honey, and the destruction of vitamin C can reach 20 ~ 50%, and other nutritional components will also change, and the color will turn from white to dark, which reduces the original nutritional value of honey.
