Eating honey regularly can make you healthy and live longer. Honey is made by worker bees picking flowers and honey in their nests. There are three kinds of honey in spring, summer and winter, and the quality of honey in winter is the best. Wild honey, such as trees and caves, is also called wild honey, also called stone honey or rock honey, which has the best quality, but the output is limited, so most of the honey seen in the market is collected by artificial beekeeping. The benefits of honey to human health have long been recognized. Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica lists honey as the top grade beneficial to people. The ancient Greeks believed that honey was a "godsend", while the Vedas in India said that honey could prolong life. Tao Hongjing, a famous doctor in the Liang Dynasty in China, said: "Taoist pills are mostly honey, and those who cultivate immortals only eat honey, that is, they can live forever." Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it fully illustrates the role of honey in nutrition and medical care. Nutritional analysis shows that honey contains about 35% glucose and 40% fructose, both of which can be directly absorbed and utilized by human body without digestion. Honey also contains a variety of inorganic salts with concentrations similar to human serum, and also contains a certain amount of vitamins B 1, B2, B6, iron, calcium, copper, manganese, phosphorus and potassium. Honey contains amylase, lipase and invertase. , is the most enzyme in food. Enzymes are promoters that help human digestion, absorption and a series of substance metabolism and chemical changes.

Six, honey therapy to treat colds We commonly call it "cold" or "cold", which refers to the infection of the nose, pharynx and throat (upper respiratory tract infection). It is the most common respiratory infectious disease, which can be divided into two categories: viral and bacterial due to different pathogens.

Seven, honey milk to alleviate and eliminate dysmenorrhea Drinking a cup of hot milk with a spoonful of honey before going to bed every night can alleviate or even eliminate the pain of dysmenorrhea. Because milk contains more potassium, honey is rich in magnesium. Studies have shown that potassium plays an important role in the conduction of nerve impulses and the coagulation of blood. It can relieve mood, inhibit pain, prevent infection and reduce menstrual blood loss. Magnesium has a sedative effect on the central nervous system of the brain, which can regulate psychology, eliminate tension and reduce stress. I'll say a little more here: another countermeasure to deal with dysmenorrhea is to take vitamins.

JM with dysmenorrhea might as well eat more and try to see if it has any effect.
