There are two ways to make lemon honey water, both of which are very simple. One way is to wash and slice the lemon, put it in a cup, then take about 3 teaspoons of honey from the cup, then slowly inject warm water and stir it evenly. If you like ice, you can add ice cubes. Another method is to marinate the washed and cut lemon slices with honey and put them in the refrigerator for preservation, so that honey and lemon can be fully integrated. Take out a slice of lemon with a clean spoon every morning and soak it directly in the water. This method is easy to stick to for a long time, otherwise cutting a lemon every day will make many people feel troublesome and insist on not drinking. It is suggested that women who love beauty drink a glass of lemon honey water on an empty stomach after getting up every morning, which is both beautiful and clean the intestines, and then eat breakfast. For computer families, drinking this water often can dilute the facial spots caused by computer radiation. It is worth noting that patients with hyperacidity and ulcers should not drink it.
First, eating honey regularly can ensure health and longevity.
Honey is made by worker bees collecting 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, 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. 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. "
Clinically, honey can not only treat gastritis, but also add some drugs to honey to treat ulcers. If you take 6 grams of honey with warm boiled water every morning, you can take it on an empty stomach or take it with Salvia Miltiorrhiza 15 grams, Radix Aucklandiae 6 grams and Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata 6 grams, and take it with honey after decoction, which can treat gastroduodenal ulcer and various stomachaches. Why does honey have this effect? It turns out that honey is a potential alkaline food, which contains inorganic salts such as manganese, which can promote the digestion and assimilation of food, thus reducing the gastrointestinal burden and relieving symptoms.

If patients with hypertension, liver disease and heart disease drink 1 cup of honey water on an empty stomach in the morning and evening, it will have certain curative effect on the above diseases. If Salvia Miltiorrhiza Radix and Polygoni Multiflori Radix 15g are used, the decoction is taken and honey 1 tablespoon is taken orally, the effect is better. Use 30g of honey and 3g of refined salt, mix well with cold boiled water, and take/kloc-0 each time in the morning and evening, which has a good laxative effect, especially suitable for the elderly, the infirm and patients with constipation after illness.
Those with respiratory diseases, lung dryness due to yin deficiency, and chronic cough without phlegm can use Farfara Flos 10g, Lily 15g, Polygonatum odoratum 15g, decoct with water to get juice, and add 2 tablespoons of honey to drink. You can also put a proper amount of honey in hollow Sydney and stew it in water, which can eliminate the feeling of dry and itchy throat caused by dry climate and is conducive to the smooth cough of phlegm accumulated in trachea. Therefore, after the respiratory disease is cured, if you can drink honey regularly, you can not only prevent the recurrence of the old disease, but also keep fit.

Seven, honey and milk to alleviate and eliminate dysmenorrhea
Drinking a cup of hot milk with a spoonful of honey before going to bed every night can relieve 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.

JM with dysmenorrhea might as well eat more and try to see if it has any effect.
Eight, identify fake and shoddy honey
Fresh honey is a transparent and translucent viscous liquid at room temperature and can be crystallized at low temperature. It has a unique color, fragrance and taste, and there should be no impurities such as peculiar smell, dead bees and wax chips.
The main substances mixed in adulterated honey are sucrose, artificial invert sugar, maltose, starch, salt, urea, carboxymethyl cellulose and so on. Honey mixed with sucrose syrup is bright in color, light yellow, light in taste, thick in syrup and thin in taste; Honey directly mixed with sugar has low viscosity and light color, and undissolved sugar particles can be seen at the bottom. Honey mixed with artificially transformed sugar has a low viscosity and a sugary taste, and loses the fragrance of honey. Honey mixed with maltose is not only fragrant but also not sweet. Honey mixed with starch is usually made by boiling starch or rice soup into paste, adding sugar and then adding it to honey. This kind of honey is turbid and has a light honey taste, but it is still turbid after being diluted with water. Honey is diluted with salt, low viscosity and salty. If mixed with more salt, sodium chloride crystals can precipitate. Honey mixed with urea is thick, rare, sweet and salty. The honey mixed with carboxymethyl cellulose is dark yellow, viscous and almost saturated colloidal solution, with massive brittle suspension and white colloidal particles at the bottom, which has impure sweetness, sticky tongue and pungent smell.
Honey contains many nutrients such as sugar, pollen, protein, amino acids, organic acids, enzymes, hormones, vitamins, etc. It is an advanced nutritional tonic.
Characteristics of high-quality honey:
(1) color: light color. A small amount of honey is put into a slender colorless transparent glass tube, which is white under scattered light, with uniform color from top to bottom and high transparency.
(2) Concentration and viscosity: high concentration and high viscosity. Touching the liquid level of honey with chopsticks feels good elasticity; When the honey is picked up, the honey juice on the chopstick head forms a whole with the liquid level.
The thin, long and very tense filaments with broken roots quickly shrink into beads, indicating that the viscosity and concentration of honey are very high.
(3) taste: the taste is positive. Take a little honey and put it on your tongue to taste, and you can feel the sweet and pure aroma.
(4) Water solubility: When honey is mixed with water, there is still no precipitation after one day.
(5) Heating: When a red-hot thick iron wire is inserted into honey, gas will be released.
Characteristics of inferior honey:
(1) color: observed under scattered light, the color is dark and the transparency is poor.
2) Concentration and viscosity: Both concentration and viscosity are small, and water stains will be left when dipped in filter paper.
Traces of; You can't stretch it when you pick it up, and you can't shrink it into beads after you break it.
(3) Taste: the taste is not heavy, the aroma is not strong, and it even has sour taste or wine taste.
(4) Bubbles: There are suspended bubbles in honey, and even many bubbles accumulate on the liquid surface.
(5) Heating: insert the red-hot iron wire into the honey to release smoke.
(6) Water solubility: It will precipitate when mixed with water.
Nine, how to easily identify fake honey?
Fake honey is usually made by mixing water, sucrose, maltose or starch. Here are some simple ways to identify fake honey:
Simple detection method:
Take 1 part of honey, put it in a glass, add 5-6 parts of cold boiled water, dilute and stir, let it stand 1 day, and observe. If there is sediment, it proves to be fake honey. Another method is to take a small amount of honey, put it on a clean glass slide, heat it with fire, stop heating after the water evaporates, and observe it after natural cooling. If the residue is soft, it means pure honey; If the residue is hard and brittle, it means honey mixed with sucrose.
Identification of honey mixed with starch;
Put 2 grams of honey into a test tube, add 20 ml of distilled water, heat it with an alcohol lamp and boil it. After cooling, add 2 drops of iodine. If it is blue or green, it means that honey is mixed with starch.
Identification of honey mixed with maltose;
Take 1 part honey, add 4 parts water, stir well, and gradually add alcohol. If white flocs appear, it means that maltose is mixed in honey; Or only cloudy without white floc, indicating that there is no maltose mixed in honey.
Identification of honey mixed with sucrose;
Honey mixed with sucrose such as white sugar or brown sugar tastes sweet, but has a short aftertaste and a poor smell. From the consistency point of view, insert a chopstick into honey and place it vertically. Pure honey drips slowly, sticky and has a hanging line. Honey mixed with sucrose has fast dripping speed, low viscosity and no thread hanging. Honey mixed with sucrose has a hard crystal plate, which is not easy to crush with finger friction, and has a sense of sand, which is not easy to dissolve in the mouth; However, pure honey crystals are soft, and there is no sense of sand when twisted by hand, and the crystals dissolve quickly when put into the mouth.
Identification of honey mixed with water;
The biggest feature of honey mixed with water is that it is thin, so it is easy to scoop it up or pour it down with a spoon; If you feel little resistance when stirring with a glass stick or wooden stick, insert the glass stick or wooden stick into the honey and lift it quickly, and the honey on the stick will flow down quickly, and the dripping honey will not retract upward.
Ten, honey common sense
1. How is honey collected?
Honey is honey. Honey sucks nectar from the floral organs and nectaries of the source plants with a tongue straw, brings it back to the hive, spits it into the hive from the honey sac, and then repeatedly inhales and spits it through the bees, and stores the nectar secreted by the honey sac mixed with invertase in the hive. Under the action of enzyme, the polysaccharide in nectar is decomposed into glucose and fructose, and the water content is reduced to about 20%, which basically forms mature honey. Up to now, people can get the finished raw honey by centrifugal action of honey shaker. From the perspective of food science, honey belongs to plant food.
2. What's the matter with honey crystallization?
People often ask, "Why does honey change from liquid to viscous or solid?" As we all know, honey is taken out of the hive by centrifugation. Therefore, any honey is liquid when it is first obtained by beekeepers, and only with the change of time and temperature does it gradually become viscous or solid. This is a normal physical change of honey, which does not affect the quality and can be eaten normally. This phenomenon is called crystallization.
3. What's the difference between raw honey and refined honey?
Raw honey is the raw honey obtained by bee farmers in the field. Due to the limitation of field conditions, raw honey contains high impurities (bee carcasses, wax residue, plant impurities, etc.). ), and its state is very unstable. However, the nutrients in the original honey remain intact and the price is more affordable. Refined honey is a kind of high-concentration pure mature honey, which is made from raw honey through low-temperature heat treatment, concentration, fine filtration, sterilization and crystal nucleus crushing.
4. How to eat and preserve honey correctly?
Honey is a good tonic for men, women and children, and the appropriate dosage is 25-50g each time, generally not exceeding 100g. Otherwise, the human body will not be able to absorb too much nutrition, and may also cause mild diarrhea. When eating, you can generally take it with warm boiled water, or mix it with soybean milk, milk and porridge, or you can eat enough, but avoid high temperature and it is advisable not to exceed 60 degrees Celsius, otherwise the vitamins and enzymes in honey will be destroyed.
Honey is a weakly acidic substance, which can react weakly with metals, so non-metallic containers (such as glass or plastic barrels) should be used for storage. Honey is easy to absorb moisture in the air and ferment and deteriorate, so it must be sealed to prevent moisture absorption. It is best to keep the packaged honey in a dry, cool and ventilated place to avoid heat expansion.
5. Preventive measures
You can't eat it in boiling water. The general water temperature is around 40℃. There is precipitation under honey, which is not necessarily a quality problem, but glucose crystallization, which is the physical characteristic of honey.
