2. Taboos for eating honey
1, honey can't be drunk with boiled water.
Honey is rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals. If you drink with boiled water, it will not only maintain its natural color, fragrance and taste, but also destroy its nutrients to varying degrees. Therefore, it is best to drink with warm water not exceeding 35℃.
Honey can't be eaten with tofu.
Tofu has the effect of clearing heat and dispersing blood. Eating with honey is easy to make people have diarrhea. Moreover, honey contains a variety of enzymes, and tofu contains a variety of minerals, plant proteins, organic acids and other substances, which are easy to damage the body when eaten together.
Honey can't be eaten with onions.
The nutritional composition of honey is complicated. When onion and honey are eaten together, organic acids and enzymes in honey meet sulfur-containing amino acids in onion, which will cause harmful biochemical reactions or produce toxic substances, stimulate gastrointestinal tract and lead to diarrhea.
4. Avoid touching metal objects during storage.
Honey is an acidic food, so when it is stored, never use a metal container, otherwise some chemical reactions will occur. And honey crystallization is a normal phenomenon, not a quality problem.
Keep the container closed after eating, honey has strong hygroscopicity and taste absorption. Avoid moisture and odor, so honey will ferment and deteriorate. Storage temperature should not be too high, so as not to destroy nutrients.
5, pay attention to three kinds of people should not eat honey
(1), infants under one year old should not eat honey.
Mothers should be careful not to give honey to babies under one year old. Honey is easily contaminated by Botox during brewing, transportation and storage.
Because of weak resistance, babies will multiply in the intestines to produce toxins after eating botulinum, and the detoxification function of the liver is poor, which is easy to cause botulinum food poisoning.
Babies who eat honey poisoning will have symptoms of delayed paralysis, cry less, have no strength to breastfeed, and have difficulty breathing.
(2) People with diabetes can't take honey.
Glucose is about 35g, fructose is about 40g, sucrose is about 2g and dextrin is about1g..
Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, which can be directly absorbed into the blood without digestion after entering the intestine, raising blood sugar, and sucrose and dextrin can be absorbed after a little hydrolysis. Therefore, the hypoglycemic effect of honey is particularly obvious. From this perspective, people with diabetes can't eat honey.
(3) Patients with liver cirrhosis should not 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 can't drink honey because it will aggravate the fibrosis of the liver.
3. The efficacy of honey
1, a good product for cardiovascular patients.
Honey can improve the composition of blood and promote the functions of heart, brain and blood vessels, so it is very beneficial for patients with cardiovascular diseases to take it often.
Step 2 protect the liver
Honey can protect the liver, promote the regeneration of hepatocytes and inhibit the formation of fatty liver.
Step 3 strengthen resistance
Eating honey can quickly replenish physical strength, eliminate fatigue and enhance disease resistance.
4, sterilization
Honey also has the function of sterilization. Eating honey regularly is not only harmless to teeth, but also has the function of sterilization and disinfection to the mouth. Honey can treat moderate skin injury, especially burns. When honey is used as a skin wound dressing, bacteria cannot grow.
Step 5 promote sleep
People who suffer from insomnia can take 1 tablespoon of honey (added to 1 cup of warm water) before going to bed every day, which can help them fall asleep as soon as possible.
6. Promote gastrointestinal peristalsis
Honey can regulate gastrointestinal function and make gastric acid secretion normal. Animal experiments have confirmed that honey can enhance intestinal peristalsis and significantly shorten defecation time.
