Honey is a good medicine to help sleep because it is a sedative that can act on the whole body. You can take a spoonful of honey before going to bed, add a little Tilia amurensis flower, honey flower, passion flower and Valeriana officinalis (one of which can be taken alone or mixed), and brew it with warm water at 35 degrees Celsius to make a good cup of honey tea for sleeping and calming the nerves.

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.

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.

2. How to identify honey
One: Smell the unique floral fragrance of this plant in single flower honey, natural floral fragrance in mixed honey, some sucrose flavor and some spice flavor in fake honey.
Two: Vision
1. Look at the concentration of honey, put a chopstick in the honey and lift it vertically. High-concentration honey drips slowly, which is sticky and can be pulled, and can be shrunk into honey pills after being broken. False honey or low concentration honey is the opposite. Even if the silk can be stretched, the broken silk has no elasticity and will not shrink into honey beads.
It is wise to drop a drop of honey in the newspaper. High concentration of pure honey is hemispherical, so it is difficult to soak in newspapers, and low concentration of honey or fake honey is easy to soak in newspapers.
3. Take a glass of water and add a little honey. Real honey will sink to the bottom of the cup quickly and will not melt easily. When stirring slowly with chopsticks, there will be repeated phenomena of filar silk. If it is fake honey, it will soon dissolve in water.
4. Looking at crystallization, the crystallization of honey is related to the plant species and temperature. Generally, pure natural honey is easy to crystallize at 13- 14 degrees Celsius. Honey that can be completely crystallized generally has low water content, high concentration and is not easy to deteriorate, so it is a high-quality honey. Crystallized pure honey is twisted by hand, which feels delicate and has no sense of sand. False honey is not easy to crystallize, or some of it is precipitated. The precipitate is hard and not easy to crush.
Three: pure natural honey, sweet and slightly sour, soft and delicate, refreshing and soft, slightly spicy in the throat and long aftertaste. Although adulterated honey tastes sweet, it has a weak throat feeling and a short aftertaste when mixed with sugar or spices.
Chemical test: Honey mixed with starch will turn blue when iodine solution is added. When honey mixed with maltose is added with high concentration ethanol, white flocs will appear. Honey mixed with other impurities will be inserted into honey with red-hot iron wire, and sticky substances are attached to the iron wire.
Cryopreservation crystallization test: Honey will become solid after being stored for a period of time at 4 to 14 degrees Celsius, which is a physical phenomenon of honey. Real honey crystal sticks to one eye with chopsticks, which is very soft and can't stick to fake honey. Real honey is pinched by hand, and the crystallization melts quickly, while fake honey has the feeling of pinching hands, and it melts slowly or does not dissolve. The real honey crystal has a low bite, while the fake honey crystal is crisp and loud. Pour out the honey and let it solidify a little. If it is true, it will form a hexagonal structure like a honeycomb, but it is not.
In a word, there may be some errors in identifying honey by only one method. A kind of honey can be identified by many methods at the same time. Under normal circumstances, honey can be judged to be true or false.
