2, detoxification slimming beauty
Honey contains excellent sterilization and detoxification, which can make the residual waste in the body excrete, improve the metabolic function of the whole body, and burn the excess fat accumulated in the body as energy. If the sugar in honey can be transported from the stomach to the blood and converted into energy, it can quickly eliminate fatigue. When the blood sugar level rises, the feeling of satiety increases and the feeling of hunger disappears.
3. Anti-fatigue
Fructose and glucose in honey can be quickly absorbed and utilized to improve blood condition. When people are tired, taking honey 15 minutes can obviously eliminate fatigue symptoms. Mental workers and people who stay up late, taking honey water can make them energetic. It is helpful for athletes to take honey 0/5 minutes before the competition/kloc-to improve their physical fitness.

5. Improve constipation symptoms
Fatty acids contained in honey can promote intestinal peristalsis; Rich vitamins and minerals can regulate the stomach, expel toxins from the body and improve constipation; Glucose and fructose will not burden the stomach.
3. The taboo of honey water
1. It is unhealthy to drink the first cup of honey water on an empty stomach in the morning.
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 didn't get rid of the waste, but came to accept new substances, so the new substances were mixed with the waste residue after overnight metabolism, which showed the metabolic absorption process of the old and new mixed substances in the body, and the nutrients of honey could not be well obtained, so the re-metabolism of waste residue was more unfavorable to health.
Therefore, after drinking boiled water in the morning, the body is relatively clean, and eating honey is more conducive to its prevention and control effect. In order not to affect the appetite for breakfast, honey can be eaten directly, together with bread, or mixed with yogurt, fruit and vegetable juice, etc.
Don't drink honey water before going to bed at night.
Before going to bed at night, it is advisable to drink a cup of warm water about 100ml half an hour before going to bed, but it is not advisable to drink honey water at this time. This is because drinking boiled water before going to bed at night is to store water for the metabolism of the body overnight. However, if you drink honey water, the water contains a lot of solutes, and the density increases, which can't achieve the effect of drinking water before going to bed, so it is not recommended to drink. In addition, honey contains a lot of sugar. If you drink honey water before going to bed at night, these sugars can easily be 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!
3. Do not cook honey with boiling water or 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.
Drinking honey water is about water temperature. Medical expert Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that "honey has five uses in medicine: clearing heat; Buzhong also; Wet and dry; Detoxification also; Relieve the pain. Born cold, it can clear away heat. Cooked is warm, so it can be made up. " It can be seen that the cooler honey water has the effects of clearing away heat, moistening dryness and detoxifying, which is more suitable for people with hot constitution; Warm honey water (40-60 degrees) has the functions of strengthening the spleen and stomach and promoting digestion, which is more suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach.
4. The daily intake of honey should not exceed 100ml.
Honey is good, but you can't drink too much! Honey can be ingested at most 100ml per day, but you can't eat it endlessly because you think honey is particularly healthy. Because glucose and fructose in honey are monosaccharides, they can be directly absorbed into the blood by the human body. If you eat a lot of honey at a time, your blood sugar can rise rapidly. Long-term excessive consumption of honey will lead to insufficient insulin secretion and easily lead to diabetes. Drink two cups of honey water every day, one cup with a spoonful of honey is enough, and a healthy diet depends on balance.
5, drinking honey water on an empty stomach, easy to cause gastric ulcer.
Honey belongs to sweets, and sweets will increase the secretion of gastric acid, which is harmful to gastric mucosa. Drinking honey water on an empty stomach for a long time is easy to increase the acidity in the body. After a long time, you will have too much stomach acid and get gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer. So it is best not to drink honey water on an empty stomach. It is recommended to drink after meals.
6. You can't drink honey water immediately after a meal.
Drinking honey water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice, so that the food eaten will enter the small intestine before it can be fully digested, which is not conducive to food digestion. Moreover, food tends to swell when it meets water, which puts greater pressure on the stomach. Drinking honey after a long meal will increase the risk of gastrointestinal diseases.
7. Don't use metal cups to make honey water.
Honey is acidic. When storing or brewing, it is best not to use metal containers to avoid chemical reactions. Because honey is a weakly acidic liquid, it is easy to oxidize when it comes into contact with metals, and free metal elements such as iron, lead, zinc and aluminum are precipitated. , make the color of honey black, and the nutrients are destroyed. If someone eats such honey, there will be symptoms of poisoning such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
It is best to use glass bottles or plastic bottles, cover tightly and put them in the shade.
8, 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.
