The main components of honey are fructose and glucose, accounting for about 70% of the total, and a small amount of sucrose, maltose, dextrin, gum, nitrogen-containing compounds, organic acids, volatile oil, pigments, waxes, natural spices, plant fragments (especially pollen grains), yeast, enzymes, inorganic salts and so on.
Because fructose and glucose, the main components of honey, are monosaccharides, they can be converted into energy immediately after eating, and rarely into accumulated fat, which can also promote intestinal peristalsis and play the role of moistening intestines and detoxifying.
Even the best food should be eaten in moderation. Experts suggest that you should not eat more than 200 grams of honey every day. As long as you drink honey within this range, it will generally not cause obesity. If you are really uneasy, drink warm water instead of honey water before going to bed, so there is basically no risk of getting fat.
In addition, honey contains extremely low calories, and monosaccharides in it can be immediately converted into energy after being ingested by the human body, which increases satiety and helps to prevent overeating, so it can also be used to lose weight.
Extended data:
It should be noted that 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. 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 not advisable to drink honey water before going to bed at night.
And it is not healthy 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.
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 the waste, but accepted the new substance, so the new substance was mixed with the waste residue metabolized overnight, which showed the metabolic absorption process of the old and new mixed substances in the body. The nutrients of honey could not be well obtained, and the re-metabolism of the residue was even more unfavorable to health.
