Good beauty products-pollen and bee pollen
1. Eating honey regularly can keep you healthy and live longer
Honey is made by worker bees gathering nectar in their nests. There are spring, summer and winter honey according to different honey picking seasons, and winter honey has the best quality. Those taken from the wild, such as trees and caves, are called wild honey, also called stone honey or rock honey, which has the best quality, but the output is limited, so what is seen in the market is mostly honey taken from 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 thought honey was a "godsend gift", while the Vedas in India said that honey could prolong life. Tao Hongjing, a famous doctor in the Liang Dynasty in China, said: "The pills of Taoism use more honey, and those who cultivate immortals eat only honey, which means they can live forever." Although this statement is exaggerated, it still fully illustrates the role of honey in nutrition and medical care.
Nutritional analysis shows that honey contains about 35% glucose and 4% fructose, both of which can be directly absorbed and utilized by human body without digestion. Honey also contains a variety of inorganic salts with a concentration similar to that of human serum, and also contains a certain amount of vitamins B1, B2, B6, iron, calcium, copper, manganese, phosphorus and potassium. Honey contains amylase, lipase, invertase and so on, which is the most enzyme in food. Enzymes are promoters that help human digestion, absorption and a series of substance metabolism and chemical changes. The smell of honey is fragrant and delicious. From the perspective of nutrition and health care value, honey is not only a nourishing and longevity product, but also a good medicine for treating diseases.
As a medicine, honey has a history of thousands of years in China, with good efficacy. Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, pointed out: "There are five functions of honey as medicine: clearing heat; Buzhong also; Moisten and dry; Detoxification also; Pain-relieving. Being born is cool, so it can clear away heat. Maturity is warm, so it can make up for it. Sweet and peaceful, so you can detoxify. Soft and moist, so it can moisten dryness. Slow can go to the urgent, so it can stop the pain of muscle trauma in the heart, and it can cause the middle, so it can reconcile all kinds of medicines and work together with licorice. "

If you use 15 grams of Salvia Miltiorrhiza and Polygonum Multiflori Radix, decoct with water to get juice, and take it orally with 1 tablespoon of honey, the effect will be better. Take 3 grams of honey and 3 grams of refined salt, mixed with cold boiled water, once a day in the morning and evening, which has a good laxative effect, especially suitable for the elderly, the weak and patients with constipation after illness.
