Benefits: prevent constipation, nourish skin and prolong life. Disadvantages: Drinking honey water on an empty stomach can easily increase the acidity in the body, which will lead to gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer for a long time. It is recommended to drink honey water after meals 1.5-2 hours. Note: It is best for people with a bad stomach to drink 30-degree water, otherwise it will easily lead to diarrhea, gastroenteritis and other traditional Chinese medicine sayings: "Salt water in the morning, at night." It means: get up early every day and drink light salt water on an empty stomach, and drink honey water every night before going to bed. The reason for this is that drinking light salt water in the morning can dilute the blood that feels very sticky, and has a little anti-inflammatory, stomach-moistening and laxative effects; Drinking honey water at night is helpful for beauty and supplementing various trace elements. Therefore, it is more scientific to leave honey water to drink at night and get up in the morning to drink light salt water. Of course, some people have difficulty defecating, so drinking honey water early will help defecate, or it depends on their physical condition. My personal recommendation is to drink a cup of hot milk with a spoonful of honey before going to bed every night. 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. It can relieve mood, inhibit pain, prevent infection and reduce menstrual blood loss. Magnesium has a sedative effect on the central nervous system of the brain, which can regulate psychology, eliminate tension and reduce stress. So it is very helpful for women. In addition, milk and honey are rich in B vitamins, which can relieve sleep. 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 and invertase. , 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; The pain has also eased. 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 honey is 30g, fried jujube kernel15g is taken twice, it has a good sedative effect and can cure palpitation, insomnia, forgetfulness and dreaminess. If you add 9 grams of Schisandra chinensis and 9 grams of Platycladus orientalis leaves, you can also enhance your memory and improve your intelligence. 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. Honey is often their favorite food for growing children. Honey contains iron and folic acid, which can prevent and correct anemia in children. In addition, honey also has moisturizing and whitening effects.
