1, taboo to drink honey
1, not suitable for heating.
Honey contains many enzymes that play an important role in human metabolism, such as glucose invertase, sucrase and amylase. These enzymes are afraid of heat. When the temperature rises, they lose their activity and their nutritional value disappears. In addition, nutrients such as turbulence and amino acids in honey are also afraid of heat, which will be destroyed by high temperature or boiling water. Therefore, when honey is heated, it is better to take it with warm boiled water not exceeding 50℃. In summer, it can also be made with cold boiled water or a few drops of ginger juice to prevent stomach cold.
2, can't drink honey immediately after a meal.
Drinking honey water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice, so that the food you eat 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 more pressure on the stomach. Drinking honey water after a long meal will increase the risk of gastrointestinal diseases.
3, should not be eaten with tofu.
Tofu is sweet, salty and cold, which can clear away heat and disperse blood. Eating with honey can easily lead to diarrhea. At the same time, a variety of enzymes in honey, a variety of minerals, plant proteins, organic acids, etc. in tofu are not conducive to the biochemical reaction of the human body.
4, should not be eaten with leeks.
Leek is rich in vitamin C, which is easily oxidized by copper and iron in honey and loses its function. In addition, honey can be laxative, and leek is rich in cellulose to induce diarrhea, which is easy to cause diarrhea.
5, can't use metal cups to make honey.
Honey is acidic. When storing or brewing, it is best not to use metal containers to avoid chemical reactions. Because honey is a liquid with weak acidity, it is easy to oxidize when it comes into contact with metals and precipitate free metal elements such as iron, lead, zinc, aluminum, etc., which makes the color of honey black and the nutritional components 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, tighten the lid and keep them in the shade.
6. Don't take more clothes
Because glucose and fructose in honey are monosaccharides, they can be directly absorbed into the blood by the human body. If you eat a large amount of honey at a time, you can make your blood sugar rise rapidly. Excessive consumption of honey for a long time will lead to insufficient insulin secretion and easily lead to diabetes. How much honey should I eat? At present, there is no standard statement. But from the clinical practice, it is appropriate for normal adults to take about 20 grams of 1~2 spoons a day. Honey is relatively safe. If the dosage needs to be temporarily increased due to special circumstances, it should be less than 50 grams a day.
7. Don't drink honey immediately after a meal.
Drinking honey immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice, so that the food you eat 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 more pressure on the stomach. Drinking honey after a long meal will increase the risk of gastrointestinal diseases.
2. People who are not suitable for drinking honey
1, patients with liver cirrhosis can't drink honey.
Generally speaking, patients with hepatitis B are very suitable for drinking honey, because the monosaccharide provided by honey does not need to be decomposed and synthesized by the liver, which can reduce the burden on the liver, but patients with liver cirrhosis cannot drink honey because it will aggravate the fibrosis of the liver.
2. Babies under one year old should not eat honey.
Honey will contain Botox, which can cause poisoning symptoms in infants, and infants less than 6 months are more likely to be infected with this disease. Poisoning symptoms often occur 8 to 36 hours after eating honey or food containing honey, and symptoms often include constipation, fatigue and loss of appetite. Although the probability of botulism infection in infants is very small, doctors still suggest that honey and its products should not be given to children until they are 1 year old.
3, diabetics can't take honey.
Every 100 grams of honey carbohydrate contains about 35 grams of glucose, 40 grams of fructose, 2 grams of sucrose and about 1 gram of dextrin. Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, which can be directly absorbed into the blood without digestion after entering the intestine, so that blood sugar is increased, and sucrose and dextrin can be absorbed after a little hydrolysis. Therefore, the effect of honey on raising blood sugar is particularly obvious. From this point of view, diabetics can't take honey.
3, the method of drinking honey
1, kumquat honey drink
