When is it better to drink honey water? Generally speaking, sooner rather than later, that is, a cup of honey water before bed is better than a cup of honey water after getting up! There is a Chinese saying about early autumn health care: "Salt water in the morning, honey soup at night." Get up early every morning and drink light salt water on an empty stomach, and drink honey water before going to bed every night. The reason for this is that drinking light salt water in the morning can dilute the blood that feels very sticky, and has a little anti-inflammatory, stomach-moistening and laxative effects; Drinking honey water at night is helpful for beauty and supplementing various trace elements. Therefore, it is more scientific to leave honey water to drink at night and get up in the morning to drink light salt water.

Let's see why it's better late than early. The first cup of honey water should not be drunk on an empty stomach. The reason is that honey water contains corresponding sugar instead of pure water. After drinking, fructose in honey can be absorbed and utilized by the human body only after it is metabolized into glucose in the body, thus losing the function of cleaning the internal environment of the body with the first glass of water in the morning.

Second point

When should I drink honey water? Drinking a cup of honey water every day can make your skin smooth and fair. Honey water, as the first glass of water, can not effectively replenish the water of body cells, and the time for kidney to excrete urine is relatively slower than that of boiled water, which reduces the efficacy of detoxification in the body. At this time, the body did not remove the waste, but began to accept new high-quality (honey) substances, so the new substances provided by the body were mixed with the waste residues metabolized overnight, showing the metabolic absorption process of the old and new mixed substances in the body, and the nutrients of honey were not well obtained, and the metabolism of the residues was even more harmful to health. Therefore, drinking boiled water first and eating honey water after ten minutes is more conducive to maximizing the nutritional value of honey.

the third point

In addition, honey water contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, biological enzymes and other nutrients, which has a certain effect on skin care and laxative. Therefore, after drinking boiled water in the morning, the body is relatively clean, and drinking honey water is more conducive to its prevention and control effect. In order not to affect appetite, honey can be eaten directly or with bread. It can also be mixed with yogurt, fruit and vegetable juice, etc. The time can be arranged as needed.

However, it is just a general saying that drinking honey water late is better than drinking it early. Not everyone is suitable, it depends on personal physical condition: for example, some people have difficulty defecating, so drinking honey water early will help defecation, and drinking honey water after getting up in the morning is better.

A glass of honey water before going to bed is not suitable for everyone. The reason is that the blood sugar of honey water generally rises rapidly after drinking, and it is difficult to relieve hypoglycemia in the middle of the night when it is absorbed before midnight. In addition, sleep cells are already short of water, and the blood viscosity is correspondingly high. Drinking honey water will not only make blood viscosity worse, but also prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people and people with dyslipidemia are more suitable to choose boiled water, and they need to give up the habit of drinking a cup of honey water in the morning and evening. Only in this way can the nutritional value of honey be brought into play more effectively.

So when honey water is ready to drink depends on personal physique. If you really want to exercise, you can go to a Chinese medicine hospital to find a doctor to introduce the situation, and it is best to see the doctor's advice!

Another trick: taking honey without heating will lose vitamins, inactivate biological enzymes and reduce the nutritional value of the original honey. It is better to eat honey with cold boiled water of about 60 degrees. My general practice is to use hot water and cold water to make the temperature almost the same.

Dialectical view of the problem

"Early salt and late honey" is not suitable for anyone.

It is circulated on the Internet that "morning salt water and late honey water" can not only clear stool but also detoxify health. Is it really so effective? I'm afraid I have to distinguish between personal physical condition and environment. Modern people often eat out, coupled with the cold winter and eating more meat, many people are prone to constipation. There has always been a saying on the Internet that drinking a glass of salt water in the morning and drinking some honey water before going to bed can help you detoxify and clean up your stool, which is also a health care method handed down from ancient times. Is this simple and easy method really useful for modern people who have insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables?

There is no need to drink salt water without sweating.

First of all, the role of water is undeniable. The human body needs water. Is salt water necessary? The concept of drinking salt water for health preservation originated from traditional Chinese medicine, which holds that salt has the functions of improving eyesight, calming the heart and cleaning up stomach fire. Bian Huawei, deputy director of the Nutrition Department of Sun Yat-sen Third Hospital, said that whether it is necessary to drink salt water should be combined with the actual situation and cannot be generalized. The ancients thought it was good to drink salt water, because they needed salt water to supplement minerals and maintain their physical needs in order to work and sell coolies in the fields. Moreover, salt was hard to come by in ancient times and belongs to precious food.

Modern people sit in the car with the air conditioner on, and the amount of activity and sweating is very small. Drinking extra salt water is usually unnecessary. Moreover, modern people get enough salt from three meals and snacks a day, far exceeding the standard of no more than 6 grams of salt per person per day stipulated by the Nutrition Association. Not long ago, a dietary nutrition survey of residents in Guangdong Province found that the average daily salt intake of Guangzhou people reached 8.7 grams, and excessive salt intake would increase the risk of diseases such as hypertension. At present, it seems more necessary to control salt intake than to advocate drinking salt water. Unless you have special needs, such as diarrhea, you need to drink light salt water to supplement electrolytes, go out to do physical labor, exercise a lot, sweat a lot, and drink salt water to avoid taking in too many minerals.

Therefore, the name "Chao Yan" depends on who it is for, what living environment and personal situation, and it cannot be advocated without preconditions. Actually, drinking water is good for people's health. People need water. For most urban office workers, drinking salt water is unnecessary. However, it is important to pay attention to the amount of water you drink every day. Drinking warm water early in the morning is good for the metabolism of the stomach and body.

Honey moistens intestines regardless of time.

After analyzing "Chao Yan", let's talk about "late honey". Bian Huawei said, first of all, honey does have a laxative effect, but constipation can be divided into two types. One kind of patients have poor stool formation and can't be discharged due to insufficient pressure. This kind of people really need to eat more fruits and vegetables containing cellulose. Drinking more water and honey water will help improve constipation symptoms.

Some people's constipation is not caused by stool formation, but by intestinal weakness, which is more common in the elderly and young women who take diet pills for a long time. Eating cellulose food and drinking honey water can not improve their constipation, but will increase the burden on the intestines and worsen the constipation problem. The improvement of constipation in these patients is mainly to increase intestinal peristalsis. It is suggested that they exercise more and enema to solve "big problems" when necessary.

It seems that you know the type of constipation. If you eat too much meat during this time, you can drink honey water to relax your bowels. This is not limited to drinking during the day or at night, but also can improve constipation. If defecation is like squeezing toothpaste, it can't be pulled out, and drinking water, honey water and fruits and vegetables can't be improved, you should go to the hospital and ask a doctor to determine what causes constipation so as to take corresponding medical measures.

Conclusion:

Therefore, on the whole, the saying that "salt and honey detoxify at night" is unscientific, and we must distinguish between what environment and what physical condition. Instead of popularizing everyone's "salt and honey." In addition, many beauty books often mention the concept of "detoxification". Bian Huawei believes that people's body balance function is actually very good, and this statement of "detoxification" is debatable.
