Five taboos for drinking honey water 1
1, drinking honey water on an empty stomach is easy to cause gastric ulcer.
Honey belongs to sweets, and sweets will increase the secretion of gastric acid, which 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. So it is best not to drink honey water on an empty stomach. It is recommended to drink after meals.
2. You can't drink honey water immediately after a meal.
Drinking honey water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice, so that the food eaten will enter the small intestine before it can be fully digested, which is not conducive to food digestion. Moreover, food tends to swell when it meets water, which puts greater pressure on the stomach. Drinking honey after a long meal will increase the risk of gastrointestinal diseases.
It is unhealthy to drink the first cup of honey water on an empty stomach in the morning.
Honey water contains corresponding sugar, not in the form of pure water. After drinking, fructose in honey must be converted into glucose by 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 not 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 didn't get rid of the waste, but came to accept new substances, so the new substances were mixed with the waste residue after overnight metabolism, which showed the metabolic absorption process of the old and new mixed substances in the body, and the nutrients of honey could not be well obtained, so the re-metabolism of waste residue was more unfavorable to health.
Therefore, after drinking boiled water in the morning, the body is relatively clean, and eating honey is more conducive to its prevention and control effect. In order not to affect the appetite for breakfast, honey can be eaten directly, together with bread, or mixed with yogurt, fruit and vegetable juice, etc.
4. Do not cook honey with boiling water or high temperature.
Honey not only contains 65% to 80% glucose and fructose, but also is rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Drink honey with warm water, and the water temperature should not exceed 60 degrees Celsius. If high-temperature boiling water rushes into honey, it will not only destroy its rich nutrients, but also lead to changes in its natural color, fragrance and taste.
Drinking honey water is about water temperature. Medical expert Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that "honey has five uses in medicine: clearing heat; Buzhong also; Wet and dry; Detoxification also; The pain has also eased. Born cold, it can clear away heat. Cooked is warm, so it can be made up. " It can be seen that the cooler honey water has the effects of clearing away heat, moistening dryness and detoxifying, which is more suitable for people with hot constitution. Warm honey water (40-60 degrees) has the functions of strengthening the spleen and stomach and promoting digestion, which is more suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach.
5. You can't use a metal cup to make honey water.
Honey is acidic. When storing or brewing, it is best not to use metal containers to avoid chemical reactions. Because honey is a weakly acidic liquid, it is easy to oxidize when it comes into contact with metals, and free metal elements such as iron, lead, zinc and aluminum are precipitated. , make the color of honey black, and the nutrients are destroyed. If someone eats such honey, there will be symptoms of poisoning such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
It is best to use glass bottles or plastic bottles, cover tightly and put them in the shade.

1, the daily intake of honey should not exceed 100ml.
Honey is good, but you can't drink too much! Honey can be ingested at most 100ml per day, but you can't eat it endlessly because you think honey is particularly 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 lot of honey at a time, your blood sugar can rise rapidly. Long-term excessive consumption of honey 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.
2, should not be eaten with tofu.
Tofu is sweet, salty and cold, which can clear away heat and disperse blood. Eating with honey is easy to have diarrhea. At the same time, there are many enzymes, minerals, plant proteins and organic acids in honey. The harmful substances in tofu are not conducive to the biochemical reaction of human body.
3, it is not suitable to eat with leeks.
Leek is rich in vitamin C, which is easily oxidized by copper and iron in honey and loses its function. In addition, honey can relieve constipation, and leek is rich in cellulose to induce diarrhea, which is easy to cause diarrhea.
Babies under one year old should not eat honey.
Honey will contain Botox, which will cause poisoning symptoms in infants, and infants younger than 6 months are more likely to be infected with this disease. Poisoning symptoms often occur 8 to 36 hours after eating honey or food containing honey. Symptoms often include constipation, fatigue and loss of appetite. Although the probability of infants being infected with botulism is very small, doctors still advise not to give honey and its products to children before 1 year old.
