Honey has an important influence on gastric acid secretion. When gastric acid secretion is too much or too little, honey can play a regulatory role and normalize gastric acid secretion. If honey is eaten before meals 1 half an hour, it can inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, thus reducing the stimulation of food on gastric mucosa. In addition, honey can regulate gastrointestinal function and make gastric acid secretion normal. After eating, especially after satiety, the digestive function of the stomach is easy to decline and the peristalsis of the large intestine is weak.

Honey can enhance intestinal peristalsis, promote the normal secretion of gastric acid, significantly shorten the defecation time and eliminate the accumulated food after a big meal.

Extended information Three kinds of people are not suitable for drinking honey.

1, 1 infants under one year old

Too young babies have poor digestion and detoxification ability, so they are not suitable for eating processed honey sold in the market. Because the gastrointestinal function of infants is weak and the detoxification function of the liver is poor, especially for infants less than 6 months old, botulinum is easy to multiply in the intestine and produce toxins, thus causing poisoning. Poisoning symptoms often occur 8 to 36 hours after eating honey or food containing honey, and symptoms often include constipation, fatigue and loss of appetite.

Although the probability of botulism infection in infants is very small, doctors still suggest that honey and its products should not be given to children until they are 1 year old. In addition, experts also reminded that infants and young children over 1 year old should be cautious when drinking honey, and the consumption should be reduced appropriately compared with adults.

2. People with diabetes should not take honey.

Honey has a high sugar content, so diabetics should avoid eating honey blindly. Every 100 grams of honey carbohydrate contains about 35 grams of glucose, 40 grams of fructose, 2 grams of sucrose and about 1 gram of dextrin. Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, which can be directly absorbed into the blood without digestion after entering the intestine, so that blood sugar is increased, and sucrose and dextrin can be absorbed after a little hydrolysis. Therefore, the effect of honey on raising blood sugar is particularly obvious. From this point of view, diabetics can't take honey.

3, cold medicine is easy to fight with honey

Most people cough when they catch a cold, and honey has the function of relieving cough, so many people drink honey to relieve cough symptoms when they catch a cold.
