The benefits of drinking honey:

Benefit 1: skin care and beauty

When fresh honey is applied to the skin, it can moisten and nourish the skin, making the skin delicate, smooth and elastic.

Usage: Dilute with honey and 2-3 times of water, and apply to face every day. You can also use cereal, protein and honey as facial mask, and massage your face for 10 minute when using it, so that the nutrients of honey can penetrate into skin cells.

Benefit 2: Restore fatigue, especially after staying up late.

Of all natural foods, honey requires the highest energy for brain neurons. Fructose and glucose in honey can be quickly absorbed and utilized by human body, improving the nutritional status of blood.

Usage: a cup of honey water at noon.

Benefit 3: Promote digestion

Studies have proved that honey can regulate gastrointestinal function and make gastric acid secretion normal. Animal experiments show that honey can enhance intestinal peristalsis and significantly shorten defecation time.

Usage: Honey has a good effect on colitis and habitual constipation without any side effects. Honey can make stomachache and burning sensation disappear, and the values of red blood cells and hemoglobin increase. People with gastroduodenal ulcer often take honey, which also has auxiliary effect.

The disadvantages of drinking honey water:

Disadvantages 1, drink honey water before going to bed, and be careful of getting fat and decaying teeth.

Drinking boiled water before going to bed at night can make the body metabolize and store water overnight, but if you drink honey water, the water contains a lot of solutes, and the density increases, which will not achieve the effect of drinking water before going to bed, and will also increase blood sugar rapidly. The sugar contained in honey water can also be easily converted into fat and accumulated in the body, making you gain weight quietly!

It's even worse if you brush your teeth and drink honey water. A large number of bacteria in the mouth will corrode teeth, so it is really not worthwhile to drink honey water before going to bed at night!

Disadvantage 2. It is unhealthy to drink honey with the first glass of water in the morning.

Many people think that drinking a cup of light honey water on an empty stomach in the morning will not only relax the bowels, but also get angry. But in fact, this practice is not desirable. Honey water contains corresponding sugar, not in the form of pure water. After drinking, fructose in honey must be converted into glucose by human metabolism before it can be absorbed and utilized by human body, thus losing the function of cleaning the internal environment of the body with the first glass of water in the morning.

Moreover, honey, as the first glass of water, can not effectively replenish the water of body cells, and the urination time 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 waste, but began to accept new substances. When the new substance is mixed with the waste residue, it shows the metabolic absorption process of the new and old mixed substances in the body, and the nutrients of honey can not be well obtained, and the metabolism of the residue is even worse for health.

Disadvantage 3. Drink honey at high temperature

Honey not only contains 65% to 80% glucose and fructose, but also is rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Drink honey with warm water, and the water temperature should not exceed 60℃. If high-temperature boiling water rushes into honey, it will not only destroy its rich nutrients, but also lead to changes in its natural color, fragrance and taste.
