Drinking honey is very important. Many people drink honey for health, and honey has become a very common nutritional health care product. As a medicine, honey has a history of thousands of years in China. Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, pointed out: "Honey has five functions as medicine: clearing heat; Buzhong also; Moisturize dryness, detoxify and relieve pain. " Modern nutritional analysis shows that honey contains about 35% glucose and 40% fructose, both of which can be directly absorbed and utilized by human body without digestion. Honey also contains a variety of inorganic salts and amylase, lipase, invertase and so on. This is close to the concentration of human serum, and contains a certain amount of vitamins B 1, B2, B6 and iron, calcium, copper, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and so on. Honey has good health care functions in immune regulation, anti-oxidation, anti-aging, hypoxia tolerance, improvement of gastrointestinal function, anti-fatigue, clearing the throat and benefiting the throat, and beauty beauty. However, honey is not suitable for everyone and must be "exquisite". Experts stressed that it is necessary to eat honey scientifically. Pay attention to taking 1 honey. Avoid high temperature and raw food: there is no need to take it with water to keep the nutrients from being destroyed. Or spread honey on bread or steamed bread to eat. This method has no restrictions on use and can be customized according to personal habits. Take with water: honey is a natural product and contains many active ingredients. Therefore, when taking honey, whether taking it with water or adding it to milk, soybean milk and porridge, we should mainly pay attention to the temperature of the water used and various liquid foods. It is best to dilute with warm water or cold water below 40℃. Especially in hot summer, it is very good to drink honey with cold boiled water to relieve summer heat. "Caution" 2 Don't drink too much honey, and don't eat too much honey. Because glucose and fructose in honey are monosaccharides, they are directly absorbed into the blood by the human body. If you eat a lot of honey at a time, your blood sugar will rise rapidly. Long-term excessive consumption of honey will lead to insufficient insulin secretion, which will lead to diabetes. Experts pointed out that although there is no standard statement at present, from the clinical practice, as a health care product, it is appropriate for normal adults to take 1-2 spoonfuls a day, about 20 grams and below 50 grams. If the dosage needs to be temporarily increased due to special circumstances, it shall not exceed 100g. Children should take no more than 30 grams in batches every day. Babies within 6 months had better not eat honey. "Attention" 3 Pay attention to the time of eating. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to eat honey before meals 1- 1.5 hours or 2-3 hours after meals. However, for patients with gastrointestinal diseases, the eating time should be decided according to the condition. If you eat honey one and a half hours before meals, it will inhibit the secretion of gastric acid. If you eat honey immediately, it will stimulate gastric acid secretion. Warm honey aqueous solution can inhibit gastric acid secretion, while cold honey aqueous solution can increase gastric acid secretion and stimulate intestinal movement. Therefore, patients with hyperacidity, especially those with gastric and duodenal ulcers, should eat warm honey water1.5 0.5 hours before meals; Patients with gastric acid deficiency or atrophic gastritis should immediately eat cold honey water to increase gastric acid secretion. In addition, neurasthenia can promote sleep by eating honey before going to bed every day. Honey is a kind of natural food, which tastes sweet and contains monosaccharides. It can be absorbed by the human body without digestion, and has a good health care effect on women and children, especially the elderly, so it is called old-age milk.
