1. Taboos to drink honey water
1. Drinking honey water on an empty stomach in the morning is not healthy
Honey water contains corresponding sugar, not in the form of pure water. After drinking, fructose in honey must be converted into glucose through human metabolism before it can be absorbed and utilized by human body, thus losing the function of cleaning the internal environment of the body with the first glass of water in the morning.
Moreover, honey, as the first glass of water, can't effectively replenish the water of body cells, and the urination time is relatively slower than that of boiled water, which reduces the efficacy of detoxification in the body. At this time, the body did not remove the waste, but came to accept new substances, so the new substances mixed with the waste residue after overnight metabolism showed the metabolic absorption process of new and old hybrid substances in the body, and the nutrients of honey could not be obtained well, and the re-metabolism of the residue was even worse for health.
Therefore, after drinking boiled water in the morning, the body is relatively clean, and then eating honey is more conducive to its prevention and control effect. In order not to affect the appetite of breakfast, honey can be eaten directly or together with bread, or mixed with yogurt, fruit and vegetable juice, etc.
2. Drinking honey water on an empty stomach is easy to cause gastric ulcer
Honey is a sweet food, which can increase the secretion of gastric acid, and hyperacidity is harmful to gastric mucosa. Drinking honey water on an empty stomach for a long time is easy to increase the acidity in the body. After a long time, you will have too much stomach acid and get gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer. Therefore, it is best not to drink honey water on an empty stomach. It is recommended to drink it after meals.
3. Don't drink honey water before going to bed at night
Before going to bed at night, it is advisable to drink a cup of warm water of about 1ml half an hour before going to bed, but it is not suitable to drink honey water at this time. This is because drinking boiled water before going to bed at night is to store water for the body's metabolism overnight. However, if you drink honey water, the water contains a lot of solutes, and the density increases, which can not achieve the effect of drinking water before going to bed, so it is not recommended. In addition, honey contains a lot of sugar. If you drink honey water before going to bed at night, these sugars can easily be converted into fat and accumulated in your body, making you gain weight quietly!
It's even worse to drink honey water after brushing your teeth. A large number of bacteria will corrode your teeth in your mouth, so it's really not cost-effective to drink honey water before going to bed at night!
4. Don't take more than 1ml
Although honey is good, don't drink too much! Honey can be ingested up to 1ml a day, but you can't eat it endlessly because you think honey is specially healthy. 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. Drink two cups of honey water every day, one cup with a spoonful of honey is enough, and a healthy diet depends on balance.
5. You can't drink honey water immediately after a meal
Drinking honey water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice and make the food you eat enter the small intestine before it is fully digested, which is unfavorable for 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.
6. Honey can't be boiled with boiling water or cooked at high temperature
Honey contains 65% to 8% glucose and fructose, and is also rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals. When eating honey, you should drink it with warm water, and the water temperature should not exceed 6℃. If high-temperature boiling water rushes into honey, it will not only destroy its rich nutrients, but also cause its natural color, fragrance and taste to change.
drinking honey water is particular about the water temperature. Li Shizhen, a medical expert, recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that "honey has five functions in medicine: clearing heat; Buzhong also; Moisten and dry; Detoxification also; Pain-relieving. Being born is cool, so it can clear away heat. Cooked is warm, so it can make up for it. " It can be seen that drinking honey water by cool bees has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, promoting tissue cell regeneration, promoting digestion, improving sleep and improving immunity. However, drinking honey water is also taboo. If you don't drink it correctly, you will get sick and hurt yourself.
Honey water has the effects of clearing away heat, moistening dryness and detoxicating, which is more suitable for people with hot constitution. Warm honey water (4-6 degrees) has the effect of invigorating the spleen and stomach and promoting digestion, which is more suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach.
7. You can't use metal cups to make honey water
Honey is acidic, so it's best not to use metal containers when storing or brewing 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's best to use glass bottles or plastic bottles, tighten the lid and keep them in the shade.
8. It is not suitable to eat 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.
9. It is not suitable to eat with Chinese chives.
Chinese chives are rich in vitamin C, and are easily oxidized by copper and iron in honey, thus losing their functions. In addition, honey can be laxative, and leek is rich in cellulose to induce diarrhea, which is easy to cause diarrhea.
