Honey has an important effect on gastric acid secretion. When gastric acid secretion is too much or too little, honey can play a regulatory role and normalize gastric acid secretion. If you eat honey before meals 1.5 hours, you can inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, thus reducing the stimulation of food on gastric mucosa. In addition, honey can regulate gastrointestinal function and make gastric acid secretion normal. After eating, especially after satiety, the digestive function of the stomach is easy to decline and the peristalsis of the large intestine is weakened.

Honey can enhance intestinal peristalsis, promote the normal secretion of gastric acid, significantly shorten the defecation time and eliminate the accumulated food after a big meal.

Honey water can be drunk with warm water or other fruit juice, which can reduce weight.

Extended information Three kinds of people are not suitable for drinking honey.

1 and 1 infants under one year old.

Too young babies have poor digestion and detoxification ability and are not suitable for eating processed honey sold in the market. Because the gastrointestinal function of infants is weak, and the detoxification function of the liver is poor, especially for infants under 6 months old, botulinum is easy to multiply in the intestine and produce toxins, thus causing poisoning. Poisoning symptoms often occur 8 to 36 hours after eating honey or food containing honey. Symptoms often include constipation, fatigue and loss of appetite.

Although the probability of infants being infected with botulism is very small, doctors still advise not to give honey and its products to children before 1 year old. In addition, experts also reminded that infants and young children over 1 year old should be cautious when drinking honey, and the consumption should be appropriately reduced compared with adults.

2. People with diabetes should not take honey.

Honey has a high sugar content, so diabetics should avoid blindly eating honey. Glucose is about 35g, fructose is about 40g, sucrose is about 2g and dextrin is about1g.. Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, which can be directly absorbed into the blood without digestion after entering the intestine, raising blood sugar, and sucrose and dextrin can be absorbed after a little hydrolysis. Therefore, the hypoglycemic effect of honey is particularly obvious. From this perspective, people with diabetes can't eat honey.

3, cold medicine is easy to fight with honey

Most people cough when they have a cold, and honey has the function of relieving cough, so many people drink honey to relieve cough symptoms when they have a cold. Experts remind everyone that it is best not to drink cold medicine with honey. Similarly, all Chinese patent medicines containing honey, such as cough syrup and Chuanbei loquat cream, should not be taken together with the above cold medicines. In addition, honey mainly relieves cough by moistening the lungs. Cough caused by cold is mostly caused by exogenous factors and should not be nourished. Honey is best not to drink.
