Will not get fat, and washing with warm water will not destroy nutrition.
When the concentration reaches 42 degrees, it is the best honey. Eating boiled honey on an empty stomach in the morning has a laxative effect. Soaking honey with milk at night is helpful for sleep and beauty. Eating honey two hours after a meal helps digestion and nourish the stomach. The scientific way to eat is not more than 50 grams per day, and it is better to soak in water and feel sweet but not greasy.
Honey varies greatly due to different bee species, honey sources and environments. The main components are fructose and glucose, and a small amount of sucrose, maltose, gum and so on. Honey generally contains only trace vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin B2, choline, nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid, biotin and folic acid. Organic acids include citric acid, malic acid, formic acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, oxalic acid and tartaric acid. Inorganic salts mainly include radium, manganese, zinc, lithium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, sulfur, phosphorus, iron, copper and nickel.
The contents of protein, minerals and vitamins in honey are not much. It is worth noting that honey contains a large number of enzymes, mainly invertase, amylase, catalase, glucose oxidase, esterase and other enzymes, which are secreted by bees, especially glands. In addition, there are many bioactive substances.
Pharmacological effects of honey:
1. Nutrition: Honey contains a lot of carbohydrates, vitamins and trace elements necessary for human body, which can be absorbed and utilized by human body after taking it, and can also promote the recovery of injured tissues and increase the weight of animals. This is a special tonic, which can make the body strong.
2. Antibacterial effect: The antibacterial activity of honey comes from:
A. osmotic pressure. Honey is a supersaturated sugar solution, about 70% of which is fructose and glucose, and the water content is usually only 15-2 1%. Honey can inhibit the growth and activity of Helicobacter pylori, and has anti-oral streptococci, 2 1 bacteria, two kinds of molds, Leishmania parasites and diarrhea bacteria.
B. acidity. The pH value of honey is generally 3.2-4.5, and such a low pH value has an inhibitory effect on general bacteria.
C. generation of hydrogen peroxide. During honey brewing, the hypopharyngeal gland secretes glucose oxidase, which oxidizes glucose into gluconic acid and produces H2O2.
D. other bacteriostatic substances. Such as flavonoids and phenolic acids (caffeic acid, ferulic acid), terpenoids, benzyl alcohol, syringic acid, etc. After the biological activity of honey was removed by Bogdanov heating, the sample was separated into four substances: acidic, alkaline, nonpolar and volatile. The results show that the antibacterial strength is acidic > alkaline = nonpolar.
