1, anti-fatigue

In summer, when the temperature is high, the skin pores stretch, the blood supply increases, and the oxygen supplied to the brain decreases correspondingly, which affects the work of the brain and most of the body functions are in a semi-lethargic state. Of all natural foods, honey requires the highest energy for brain neurons. The energy produced by honey is about 5 times higher than that of milk, which can replenish human energy in a short time and eliminate human fatigue and hunger.

Fructose and glucose in honey can be quickly absorbed and utilized by human body, improving the nutritional status of blood. In addition, honey contains no fat and is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. Regular use can make people refreshed, energetic and improve their memory.

2, anti-allergic

There are many allergens in summer, which are easy to cause allergies in people with special physique. Since ancient times, honey has been regarded as a nutritious food and medicine. Honey has anti-inflammatory, expectorant, lung moistening and cough relieving effects, and can also treat allergy caused by pollen. Long-term administration can also relieve asthma attacks. Loquat honey has the best cough relieving effect. You can use a Sydney, slice it with honey, and eat it several times a day.

Step 3 eliminate food accumulation

Due to the rising temperature in summer, people are too lazy to exercise, and they are particularly prone to get fat. But honey can not only promote the normal secretion of gastric acid, but also enhance intestinal peristalsis, which can obviously shorten the defecation time. If you have accumulated food, you can try taking 25 grams of honey on an empty stomach every morning and evening.

The function and efficacy of honey

1, promoting the function of heart, brain and blood vessels Because honey can effectively improve the composition of blood, thus promoting the function of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is very beneficial for cardiovascular patients to eat honey often.

2. Liver-protecting honey has a protective effect on the liver, can promote the regeneration of hepatocytes, and has a certain inhibitory effect on the formation of fatty liver.

3, eliminate fatigue Eating honey can quickly replenish physical strength, eliminate fatigue, and enhance resistance to diseases.

4, bactericidal effect Honey also has bactericidal effect. Regular consumption of honey not only does not hinder teeth, but also plays a role in oral sterilization. Honey can treat moderate skin injury, especially burns. When honey is used as a skin wound dressing, bacteria cannot grow.

5. People who promote sleep and insomnia take 1 tablespoon of honey orally every day before going to bed, and add 1 cup of warm water to help them fall asleep as soon as possible.

6, skin care and beauty Fresh honey can play a role in moisturizing and nourishing the skin, making the skin delicate, smooth and elastic.

7, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, promote tissue regeneration, high-quality honey will not rot at room temperature for several years, indicating that its antiseptic effect is extremely strong. Experiments have proved that honey has a strong inhibitory effect on gram-positive bacteria such as streptococcus, staphylococcus and diphtheria.

8, promote digestion, laxative after getting up in the morning, drink a cup of honey water with warm water on an empty stomach, and then drink a cup of boiled water, the effect will be better. Honey tonic should be washed with water that is too hot or too cold, because it will destroy nutrients. Eating more coarse grains usually helps the digestion of the stomach. Can be soaked in brown rice flour to drink, can solve constipation, help digestion, good for the stomach. Studies have proved that honey can regulate gastrointestinal function and make gastric acid secretion normal. Animal experiments have confirmed that honey can enhance intestinal peristalsis and significantly shorten defecation time.

9, improve immunity Honey contains a variety of enzymes and minerals, which can improve human immunity through synergy. Experimental studies have proved that feeding honey to mice can improve their immune function.

10, Promoting Longevity Scholars in the former Soviet Union investigated more than 200 elderly people over 100 years old, among whom 143 was a beekeeper, and confirmed that their longevity was related to eating honey frequently. The mechanism of honey promoting longevity is very complicated, which is a comprehensive conditioning of the human body, rather than simply acting on an organ.

Pay attention to eating honey.

1, don't feed honey to babies under one year old.

Babies under one year old who eat honey and pollen products may be poisoned by botulism. This is because soil and dust often contain bacteria called "Botox". In the process of making honey from pollen, bees may bring contaminated pollen and honey back to their hives.

A small amount of toxin can poison babies. In severe cases, constipation lasts for 1 to 3 weeks, and then flaccid paralysis, crying weakness, inability to suck milk and dyspnea occur. But adults will not be poisoned by it. This is because botulinum toxin will be produced in the process of reproduction, and adults have strong resistance, which can inhibit the reproduction of botulinum toxin. Due to the unstable ecological balance of intestinal microorganisms, infants' disease resistance is poor, and it is easy for the ingested botulinum toxin to multiply in the intestine and produce toxins, thus causing poisoning.

2. Do not cook honey with boiling water or high temperature.

Because of unreasonable heating, the nutrients in honey will be seriously destroyed, the enzymes in honey will be inactivated, the color will become darker, the fragrance will evaporate, the taste will change, and the food will have an unpleasant sour taste. High temperature destroys the unique fragrance and taste of honey, which makes it volatilize, reduces the antibacterial effect and destroys the nutritional components. So honey is best diluted with warm water or cold water below 60℃. Especially in hot summer, drinking honey with cold water is a good cool and healthy drink.

3, should not be eaten with tofu.

Tofu is sweet, salty and cold, which can clear away heat and disperse blood. Eating with honey is easy to have diarrhea. At the same time, there are many enzymes, minerals, plant proteins and organic acids in honey. The harmful substances in tofu are not conducive to the biochemical reaction of human body.

4, should not be eaten with leeks.

Leek is rich in vitamin C, which is easily oxidized by copper and iron in honey and loses its function. In addition, honey can relieve constipation, and leek is rich in cellulose to induce diarrhea, which is easy to cause diarrhea.

5, diabetics can't take 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.

6, can not be placed in metal utensils.

If honey is put in a metal container, it will increase the content of heavy metals in honey.
