Honey can improve the quality of sleep. Taking honey before going to bed at night can promote sleep and prevent insomnia. For people with weak spleen and stomach, honey can also be taken half an hour after breakfast.

(4) Type of taking: If you have diabetes, it is generally not recommended to take honey.
