What honey is suitable for pregnant women to drink?
First, Robinia pseudoacacia honey, Vitex negundo honey and linden honey are much safer than jujube honey, which is prone to drug residues. These nectars, because they do not need to bear fruit, are generally not sprayed with drugs. Moreover, most of these plants grow in deep mountains, with fresh air, safety and no pollution, which is suitable for pregnant women.
Second, among all the honey, Sophora japonica honey and Vitex negundo honey have the best effect of removing fire. Therefore, taking Sophora japonica honey and Vitex negundo honey for expectant mothers who are prone to constipation can effectively relieve the symptoms of constipation, expel metabolic toxins and benefit the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
Thirdly, acacia honey, Vitex negundo and linden honey are among the five honey species in China, which belong to the most common and common honey. Compared with those exotic honey species, the probability of counterfeiting is lower.
What kind of honey is not suitable for pregnant women?
1, jujube nectar. Because constipation is easy during pregnancy, jujube honey is the only honey that does not relieve constipation, but increases constipation.
2, motherwort honey. Motherwort honey has the function of promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation, and has a good effect on gynecological irregular menstruation, menorrhagia and amenorrhea, but it is not suitable for pregnant women. Just like longan promoting blood circulation and activating fetal qi, motherwort honey is not suitable for pregnant women. On the other hand, motherwort honey First, motherwort is a small honey source with a short flowering period, and few bee farms will pick it, so there are too many fakes on the market.
3, royal jelly. Pregnant women can't eat royal jelly, because the hormones in royal jelly will stimulate the uterus, cause contractions and interfere with the normal development of the fetus in the uterus.
In addition, pregnant women are not suitable for some flowers that spray pesticides, such as rape honey, jujube honey and litchi honey. Although jujube honey and litchi honey are also first-class honey, when pregnant, safety is still the first.
What matters should pregnant women pay attention to when drinking honey?
1, it is recommended that women choose honey, preferably honey brewed from summer flowers or spring flowers, so that the first batch of pollen has less pollution and higher quality, and the natural quality of the brewed honey is better.
2, pregnant women remember, when eating honey, it is not recommended that you add honey every time you drink water, so that excessive consumption is not good, it is best to keep enough intake a day. As for the amount of intake, I suggest you consult a doctor after checking your health.
3, it is best to drink honey before going to bed: expectant mothers can drink a cup of honey water before going to bed, which can treat many dreams and easy to wake up, sleep is not fragrant, and can help you sleep better.
4, there are skills in choosing honey: When choosing honey, expectant mothers must choose honey with tiny bubbles on the surface of honey, because it is produced by the continuous movement of active biological enzymes, and eating this honey is the best for people's health.
5, warm water brewing: honey can improve constipation because of the role of active biological enzyme components. Therefore, expectant mothers should use warm water below 45 degrees when drinking honey, so as to keep the nutrition and activity of honey from being destroyed.
What foods can't honey eat with?
1, don't add honey when drinking soybean milk.
If the organic acid in honey and protein in soybean milk are combined, denatured precipitation will occur, and the nutrients eaten will not be absorbed by the human body.
2. You can't eat onions after eating honey.
Sulfur amino acids in onion will produce toxic substances if they meet with organic acids and enzymes in honey. These toxic substances will stimulate the stomach and cause diarrhea.
3. Honey and tofu can't be eaten together.
Honey is sweet and cool, and tofu is sweet and cold, both of which will cause diarrhea at the same time. The combination of enzymes in honey with proteins and minerals in tofu will also affect the biochemical reaction of human body.
4. Honey and leeks can't be eaten together.
Minerals in honey will oxidize vitamin C in leek and lose its efficacy. Honey has the function of relaxing bowels, and the cellulose in leeks also has the function of relaxing bowels. When they meet together, they will cause diarrhea.
5, honey can not be taken with hot water over 60 degrees.
If you take honey with overheated water, hot water will destroy vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other nutrients in honey and lose its edible nutritional value.
There are also some foods that should not be eaten with honey. If these foods are not eaten with honey too much, it doesn't matter if they are eaten in moderation. They are rice, ginger, crucian carp, garlic and so on.
Identification method of honey
First, brew honey with cold water, pour it into a mineral water bottle for about half a bottle, and shake it quickly. If it's real honey,
There will be the following phenomena:
1, a large number of bubbles appear on the liquid upper layer, which will not fade for a long time, and sometimes the bubbles can last for 2 hours.
2. The liquid part is turbid, because honey contains protein, pollen and colloid. Fake honey not only has less foam and is easy to fade, but also has a clear liquid part.
3. It tastes sweet and sour after hot water, because pure honey contains many organic acids and enzymes, but fake honey is only sweet.
4. Seeing whether honey is crystallized is also a way to judge whether honey is true or false. Honey contains a lot of fructose and glucose. When the glucose content is high, the water content is low and the temperature is low, honey is easy to crystallize, while fake honey takes fructose as the main raw material and will not crystallize. Among them, litchi honey and citrus honey have high glucose content and are easy to crystallize, while longan honey is not easy to crystallize. Therefore, "liquid honey may be true or false, and completely crystallized honey must be true honey."
