1, drink warm water before drinking honey water in the morning.
It is more appropriate to drink honey water in the morning, but it is not appropriate to drink honey water with the first glass of water in the morning. After a night's sleep, a large part of the water in the body has been metabolized, and the blood vessels appear sticky. Therefore, the first glass of water in the morning should be a cup of 100- 120ml of warm water to dilute the viscosity in the blood. Warm water can also avoid stimulating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so it is the first cup of healthy water in the morning.

Don't drink honey water before going to bed at night.
Before going to bed at night, you should drink a cup of warm water about 100ml half an hour before going to bed, but it is not advisable to drink honey water at this time. This is because drinking boiled water before going to bed at night is to store water for the metabolism of the body overnight. However, if you drink honey water, the water contains a lot of solutes, and the density increases, which can't achieve the effect of drinking water before going to bed, so it is not recommended to drink. In addition, honey contains a lot of sugar. If you drink honey water before going to bed at night, these sugars can easily be converted into fat and accumulated in the body. It's even worse if you brush your teeth and drink honey water. A large number of bacteria in the mouth will corrode teeth, so it is really not cost-effective to drink honey water before going to bed at night!
Drink a cup of honey water at three or four in the afternoon.

Tired from work in the afternoon, you might as well get up and soak in a cup of warm honey water, which can not only wake up your chaotic brain in the fragrance, but also supplement some sugar and energy, providing a power foundation for the next two or three hours of work and life. Why not?

Of all natural foods, honey requires the highest energy for brain neurons. Fructose and glucose in honey can be quickly absorbed and utilized by human body, improving the nutritional status of blood. Therefore, you can still have a cup of honey water after staying up late.

2, honey taboo
1, not suitable for heating.
Honey contains many enzymes that play an important role in human metabolism, such as glucose invertase, sucrase and amylase. These enzymes are afraid of heat. When the temperature rises, they lose their activity and their nutritional value disappears. In addition, nutrients such as turbulence and amino acids in honey are also afraid of heat and will be destroyed by high temperature or boiling water. Therefore, when honey is heated, it is better to take it with warm boiled water not exceeding 50℃. In summer, you can also take it with cold boiled water or a few drops of ginger juice to prevent stomach cold.
2. You can't drink honey immediately after a meal.
Drinking honey water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice, so that the food eaten will enter the small intestine before it can be fully digested, which is not conducive to food digestion.

Tofu is sweet, salty and cold, which can clear away heat and disperse blood. Eating with honey is easy to have diarrhea. At the same time, there are many enzymes, minerals, plant proteins and organic acids in honey. The harmful substances in tofu are not conducive to the biochemical reaction of human body.

Leek is rich in vitamin C, which is easily oxidized by copper and iron in honey and loses its function. In addition, honey can relieve constipation, and leek is rich in cellulose to induce diarrhea, which is easy to cause diarrhea.
5, you can't use metal cups to make honey.
Honey is acidic. When storing or brewing, it is best not to use metal containers to avoid chemical reactions. Because honey is a weakly acidic liquid, it is easy to oxidize when it comes into contact with metals, and free metal elements such as iron, lead, zinc and aluminum are precipitated. , make the color of honey black, and the nutrients are destroyed. If someone eats such honey, there will be symptoms of poisoning such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. It is best to use glass bottles or plastic bottles, cover tightly and put them in the shade.
