Honey is brewed from plant nectar collected by bees. Its main components are glucose and fructose (the content varies with different kinds of honey), and it also contains a small amount of active substances such as sucrose, amino acids, vitamins, organic acids, minerals and enzymes. Among them, the most representative components are glucose (directly replenishing energy for the body) and active enzymes (catalysts for various reactions in the body), and its effects are mainly reflected in aspects such as nourishing, relaxing bowels, prolonging life, expelling toxins and caring skin.

Second, eat correctly.

The simplest way to eat honey is to eat it directly, but eating it directly makes people feel sweet and greasy, so the most common way to eat it is to soak it in honey water. When making it, you only need to soak it in warm water at 40℃ (if the water temperature exceeds 60℃, it will destroy the effective components in honey and reduce its nutritional value), or you can mix it with some red dates, hawthorn and lemon juice to make various honey waters. In addition, honey can also be dipped in bread or added to fruit juice and milk.

Third, the best time.

Although there is no clear regulation on the consumption time of honey, it is best not to drink it on an empty stomach, because honey will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid in the stomach, and long-term consumption on an empty stomach will easily lead to hyperacidity. In fact, many people like to drink honey on an empty stomach in the morning, but they don't know that it is so easy to get gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer after a long time, so the best time to drink honey is around 1 hour after meals, and it is also more appropriate to drink honey at 2 ~ 4 pm to relieve fatigue.

Fourth, suitable for the crowd

The most remarkable effect of honey is nourishing and strengthening the body, so it is especially suitable for people with low immunity, weak constitution and many diseases. At the same time, honey is also excellent in helping digestion and relaxing bowels, so people with weak stomach, indigestion and habitual constipation are also suitable for eating honey to regulate their stomach. In addition, honey also has the function of calming the mind and calming the nerves, so patients with neurasthenia and insomnia can drink some honey before going to bed 1 hour to help them sleep.

Five, dietary taboos

Honey is a supersaturated solution of sugar. Although most of them are monosaccharides (glucose and fructose), long-term excessive consumption can easily lead to obesity and even diabetes. At the same time, the sugar-raising effect of honey is extremely significant, and people with diabetes and hyperglycemia can easily lead to abnormal increase of blood sugar and aggravate the condition. In addition, honey is easily contaminated by Botox during brewing and transportation, and infants with gastrointestinal dysfunction should eat less or not.

Note: Although honey is a nutritious natural tonic, it only has the function of health care, but it has no therapeutic effect. Therefore, never use it instead of medicine to treat diseases. If you have any health problems, you should go to the hospital in time. Don't mix it with honey, which will delay the illness.
