Honey has the reputation of "milk for the elderly", which shows that honey is a health care product that is very suitable for the physiological needs of the elderly, which is scientifically based. The main reason why the elderly are generally not suitable for eating sugar. I am afraid that high blood sugar will lead to hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, diabetes and other senile diseases. Eating honey won't happen, because there are two kinds of sugars that are easily absorbed in honey: glucose and fructose, and their ratio is very suitable. People who eat honey absorb glucose quickly and fructose slowly, thus playing a role in maintaining blood sugar levels. Experiments by Dr. Shu Ci and Dr. Knohl of the University of Chicago in the United States have proved that honey is really interesting in a series of nutritious foods. In the first 15 minutes after eating, glucose is absorbed the earliest, and there is no excess sugar circulation in the blood vessels of honey, but the blood sugar drops to the initial level very slowly. Honey is better than sugar with a high proportion of glucose. That kind of sugar will make blood sugar rise too high, but honey will not, which is also an important reason why honey can become "old people's milk".

In this case, eating honey can not only provide energy and nutrition for the body, but also enhance the resistance of the elderly, which can prevent and treat essential diseases of the elderly. Old people often eat honey, which can prevent and treat cough, insomnia, cardiovascular diseases, dyspepsia, gastrointestinal ulcers, constipation, dysentery and so on. Therefore, honey is well-deserved as "the old man's milk". Because it is unfair, nutritious and can be taken for a long time, which is beneficial and harmless.
