Different gastric disease patients take honey in a different way

Excessive stomach acid or hypertrophic gastritis, especially gastric and duodenal ulcer patients, it is advisable to consume warm honey water one hour before meals, so as to inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, which reduces the stimulation of the gastric mucosa, and is conducive to the healing of the ulcer surface; and the lack of gastric acid or atrophic gastritis patients, it is best to drink cold honey water and eat immediately after.

Choose "popular honey"

Some of the fresh honey on the market, such as honeysuckle honey, aloe vera honey, may be blended, because these crops are rarely planted on a large scale. It is still advisable to buy popular honeys such as acacia honey and jujube honey, and not to fetishize functional honeys.

Drinking in the morning to replenish physical energy

Drinking honey in the morning not only nourishes yin and moisturizes dryness, but also quickly replenishes physical energy. Honey is best taken 1 to 1.5 hours before meals or 2 to 3 hours after meals, which can avoid stimulating the stomach and intestines. Special attention should be paid to the spleen and stomach cold people do not drink honey on an empty stomach, can be smeared with honey on the bread or steamed bread to eat, can completely retain the honey nutrients.

Cool water rinse laxative, warm water nourishing

Brewing honey water temperature should not exceed 50 degrees Celsius, otherwise the nutrition is easy to lose. Use warm water (about 40 degrees Celsius), nourishing effect is good; with cool water (room temperature), laxative effect is more significant.

Avoid contact with metal objects when storing

Honey is acidic, and when storing it, do not use metal containers to avoid chemical reactions. In addition, honey crystallization is a normal phenomenon and has nothing to do with quality. Containers should be kept airtight after consumption. Honey is highly hygroscopic and odor-absorbent, so it is important to avoid moisture and odors from entering and causing the honey to ferment and deteriorate. The storage temperature should not be too high to avoid destroying the nutrients.
