How to eat honey to keep healthy?
Fresh and ripe honey can be taken directly or diluted with warm water or cold water below 40 degrees, because the aqueous solution is more easily absorbed by the human body. But don't use boiling water or cooking, otherwise it will seriously destroy the nutrients in honey and make the enzymes in honey lose their activity. Modern clinical medicine has proved that honey has dual effects on the secretion of gastric acid. Honey can strengthen the stomach, help digestion and neutralize stomach acid. Honey can regulate too much or too little gastric acid and normalize gastric acid secretion. If you take honey one and a half hours before meals, it can inhibit the secretion of gastric acid; If you eat immediately after taking honey, it will stimulate gastric acid secretion; Warm honey water can reduce the acidity of gastric juice; Cold honey water can stimulate the peristalsis of the intestine and has a laxative effect. Therefore, patients with hyperacidity, especially those with stomach and duodenum, eating warm honey water one and a half hours before meals can inhibit and reduce the effect of gastric acid, reduce the stimulation to gastric mucosa, and be conducive to the healing of ulcer surface. Practice has proved that honey is quite effective for stomach diseases. For neurasthenia patients, drinking a cup of honey water before going to bed is helpful to improve sleep. Honey should also be eaten in moderation. Adults should take 60 ~100g every day, three times in the morning, middle and evening. Dosage can be flexibly controlled according to individual specific conditions.
