This can not only reduce the irritation to the stomach, but also facilitate the digestion and absorption of food.

Because honey water has high sugar content and contains a lot of fermented sugar substances, it is easy to promote the growth of bacteria in teeth if you don't rinse your mouth or brush your teeth in time after drinking it. In the process of bacterial growth, some organic acids will be produced, which will slowly corrode your teeth, cause dental caries and affect your tooth health.

Honey should not be drunk directly on an empty stomach, which is easy to increase the acidity in the body and affect the health of the stomach, especially those with bad stomach.

It is best to drink a few spoonfuls of honey every day.
In the monograph of bee products, there is no unified view on the suitable consumption of honey:
A. Xinfang Song said in the Q&A of Bee Products: "Take it once a day on an empty stomach in the morning and evening, 20-30ml each time." Converted into taking 50-80 grams a day and taking 25-40 grams each time.
B. Xu Zuyin said in "On the Consumption of Bee Products for Health and Beauty 150": "The average adult can consume 30-50g of honey every day, that is, 1.0- 1.5kg per month, and the maximum intake can be 100g according to physical needs. Children should eat 30 grams a day. "
C. The book Bee Products and Health and Beauty, co-authored by Zhang Zhongyin and Zhu Fang, said: "Ordinary people should use about 50 grams of honey every day ... Generally, the method of eating honey directly is 1 time in the morning and evening, 25-50 grams each time."
D Guo said in "500 questions about bee products medical care": "Adults should take100g daily, with a maximum of 200g, and take it three times in the morning, at noon and at night. 30 to 60 grams in the morning, 40 to 80 grams at noon and 30 to 60 grams at night. It is better for children to eat 30 grams a day. "
These five are well-known experts in bee products in China, and their opinions are not uniform. How much is appropriate, which makes many people have a headache.
I don't have authoritative foreign materials at hand, so I dare not blindly accept the opinions of domestic experts now. A friend in Beijing told me that he browsed foreign websites and the recommended dosage of honey was 30 grams.
He said: "If you take 150 ml ~ 200 ml every day, you can't eat anything but water." The density of honey is about 1.4, and 1 ml of honey is 1.4 g.
Even if the dose given by foreign websites is 30 grams, I still want to deduct a little more and give advice of 25 grams a day. People in Europe, America and China have different constitutions and diets, so our honey intake should be lower than theirs.
Let's talk about physique first. Our civilization lasted for five thousand years, which made us weaker.
On the other hand, Americans and Europeans have a shorter evolution time, are closer to monkeys and have stronger bodies, as can be seen from the hair on their chests and legs. In terms of diet, Europeans and Americans like to eat fresh vegetables, while China people prefer foods with high carbohydrate content.
Therefore, in the dietary results of China people, the sugar intake is not low.
Therefore, my suggestion is that China people with normal constitution should take 25g a day.
This amount can be sustained for a long time without getting diabetes. However, if you eat a lot of other sugars or foods with high carbohydrate and fat one day, your honey intake will also decrease accordingly. If you have a light diet, on the contrary, the amount of honey can be increased to 30 grams.
Others will ask: how to grasp this quantity? According to the recommended amount of 25 grams above, a bottle of 500 grams of honey can be drunk for about 20 days.
Let me measure you: a spoonful of ordinary porcelain used at home is about 15g. Ordinary household iron spoon, one spoon is about 10g. And the gift spoon I brought in Taobao, large, about 5 grams.
