Don't take too much honey. 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.
How much honey should I eat? At present, there is no standard statement. But from the clinical practice, it is appropriate for normal adults to take about 20 grams of 1~2 spoons a day. Honey is relatively safe. If the dosage needs to be temporarily increased due to special circumstances, it should be less than 50 grams a day.
Honey should not be taken by heating. Honey contains many enzymes that play an important role in human metabolism, such as glucose invertase, sucrase and amylase. These enzymes are afraid of heat. When the temperature rises, they lose their activity and their nutritional value disappears. In addition, nutrients such as turbulence and amino acids in honey are also afraid of heat, which will be destroyed by high temperature or boiling water.
Therefore, honey should be mixed with warm boiled water of about 30 degrees, and it can also be mixed with cold boiled water in summer.
When drinking in the morning, it's best to drink boiled water in the first cup and honey water in the second cup ... it's better to absorb it like this ...
