Drinking honey water on an empty stomach can easily increase the acidity in the body. Over time, it will lead to gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer. It is recommended to drink honey water after meals 1.5-2 hours. At this time, honey is alkaline in the body and can neutralize the acidic environment in the body. There is a saying in China: "Salt water in the morning, honey soup at night." It means: get up early every day and drink light salt water on an empty stomach, and drink honey water every night before going to bed. The reason for this is that drinking light salt water in the morning can dilute the blood that feels very sticky, and has a little anti-inflammatory, stomach-moistening and laxative effects; Drinking honey water at night is helpful for beauty and supplementing various trace elements. Therefore, it is more scientific to leave honey water to drink at night and get up in the morning to drink light salt water. Of course, some friends have difficulty defecating, so drinking honey water early will help defecate, or it depends on personal physical condition.

Welcome JMS with honey beauty experience to talk about it, talk about your usage and exchange experiences! Beauty products-pollen and bee pollen 1. Eating honey regularly can make you healthy and live longer. Honey is made by worker bees picking flowers and honey in their nests. There are three kinds of honey in spring, summer and winter, and the quality of honey in winter is the best. Wild honey, such as trees and caves, is also called wild honey, also called stone honey or rock honey, which has the best quality, but the output is limited, so most of the honey seen in the market is collected by artificial beekeeping. The benefits of honey to human health have long been recognized. Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica lists honey as the top grade beneficial to people. The ancient Greeks believed that honey was a "godsend", while the Vedas in India said that honey could prolong life. Tao Hongjing, a famous doctor in the Liang Dynasty in China, said: "Taoist pills are mostly honey, and those who cultivate immortals only eat honey, that is, they can live forever." Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it fully illustrates the role of honey in nutrition and medical care. Nutritional analysis shows that honey contains about 35% glucose and 40% fructose, both of which can be directly absorbed and utilized by human body without digestion. Honey also contains a variety of inorganic salts with concentrations similar to human serum, and also contains a certain amount of vitamins B 1, B2, B6, iron, calcium, copper, manganese, phosphorus and potassium. Honey contains amylase, lipase and invertase. , is the most enzyme in food. Enzymes are promoters that help human digestion, absorption and a series of substance metabolism and chemical changes. Honey tastes fragrant and delicious. From the perspective of nutrition and health care value, honey is not only a good product for nourishing and prolonging life, but also a good medicine for treating diseases. Honey, as a medicine, has a history of thousands of years in China, and its curative effect is very good. Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, pointed out: "Honey has five functions as medicine: clearing heat; Buzhong also; Wet and dry; Detoxification also; Relieve the pain. Born cold, it can clear away heat. Maturity is warm, so it can be made up. Sweet and peaceful, so you can detoxify. Soft and moist, so it can moisten dryness. It can slow down the urgency, so it can stop the pain of myocardial trauma and cause the middle, so it can reconcile various drugs and work together with licorice.

Seven, honey milk to alleviate and eliminate dysmenorrhea Drinking a cup of hot milk with a spoonful of honey before going to bed every night can alleviate or even eliminate the pain of dysmenorrhea. Because milk contains more potassium, honey is rich in magnesium. Studies have shown that potassium plays an important role in the conduction of nerve impulses and the coagulation of blood. It can relieve mood, inhibit pain, prevent infection and reduce menstrual blood loss. Magnesium has a sedative effect on the central nervous system of the brain, which can regulate psychology, eliminate tension and reduce stress. I'll say a little more here: another countermeasure to deal with dysmenorrhea is to take vitamins. B vitamins, especially B6, have a significant effect on premenstrual tension, which can stabilize mood, help sleep, make people energetic and relieve abdominal pain. Bananas contain more B vitamins. JM with dysmenorrhea might as well eat more and try to see if it has any effect.
