Benefits of drinking honey on an empty stomach in the morning: Prevent constipation, nourish the skin, and maintain health and longevity. Disadvantages: Drinking honey water on an empty stomach can easily increase the acidity in the body. Over time, excessive stomach acid will lead to gastric ulcers or duodenum. Intestinal ulcers. It is recommended to drink honey water 1.5-2 hours after a meal. Note: If you have a bad gastrointestinal condition, it is best to drink it soaked in 30-degree water, otherwise it will easily cause diarrhea, gastroenteritis, etc. Chinese medicine has a saying: " Salt water in the morning, honey soup in the evening." What it means is: drink salt water on an empty stomach every morning when you wake up, and drink honey water every night before going to bed. The reason is: drinking light salt water in the morning can dilute the blood that is very sticky after sleeping, and has a little anti-inflammatory effect, soothing the stomach and clearing the stool; drinking honey water in the evening is helpful for beauty and beauty, and supplements various trace elements. Therefore, a more scientific approach is to drink honey water at night and drink light salt water in the morning. Of course, some people have difficulty defecating, so drinking honey water early in the morning will help with defecation. It depends on the individual's physical condition. My personal recommendation is to drink a cup of hot milk with a spoonful of honey before going to bed every night. Since milk contains a lot of potassium, honey is rich in magnesium. Studies have shown that potassium plays an important role in the conduction of nerve impulses and the blood coagulation process. It can ease emotions, suppress pain, prevent infection and reduce menstrual blood loss; magnesium has a calming effect on the central nervous system of the brain and can regulate psychology. Eliminate tension and reduce stress. Therefore, it is very helpful for women. In addition, milk and honey are rich in B vitamins, which have a soothing and sleeping effect. Nutritional analysis shows that honey contains about 35% glucose and 40% fructose. Both of these sugars can be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body without going through digestion. Honey also contains a variety of inorganic salts with concentrations similar to those in human serum. It also contains a certain amount of vitamins B1, B2, B6, iron, calcium, copper, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, etc. Honey contains amylase, lipase, invertase, etc., and is the most enzyme-containing type in food. Enzymes are promoters that help the body's digestion, absorption, and a series of material metabolism and chemical changes. The smell of honey is fragrant and delicious. From the perspective of nutritional and health care value, honey is not only a nourishing and life-prolonging product, but also a good medicine for curing diseases. Honey has been used as medicine in China for thousands of years and has good effects. Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, pointed out: "Honey has five medicinal functions: clearing away heat; tonifying the Zhong; moistening dryness; detoxifying; and relieving pain. When raw, it is cool in nature, so it can clear away heat. When cooked, it is warm in nature, so it can tonify the Zhong. It is sweet and peaceful, so it can detoxify. It is soft and moist, so it can moisturize dryness. It can relieve the pain of heart and abdominal muscle trauma, so it can harmonize all kinds of medicine, and it has the same effect as licorice." Clinically, honey can not only treat gastritis, but also add certain drugs to honey to treat ulcers. For example, take 6 grams of honey with warm boiled water every morning on an empty stomach, or take 15 grams of salvia miltiorrhiza, 6 grams of costus, and 6 grams of licorice and drink it with honey, which can treat gastroduodenal ulcers and various stomach pains. Why does honey have this therapeutic effect? It turns out that honey is a potentially alkaline food. The manganese and other inorganic salts it contains can promote the digestion and assimilation of food, thereby reducing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and relieving symptoms. If you use 30 grams of honey and 15 grams of fried jujube kernels in two divided doses, it has a very good calming effect on the mind and can cure palpitation, insomnia, forgetfulness, and dreaminess. For example, adding 9 grams of Schisandra chinensis and 9 grams of Bai Ziren can also enhance memory and improve intelligence. If patients with high blood pressure, liver disease, or heart disease drink 1 cup of honey water on an empty stomach in the morning and evening, they will have certain curative effects on the above diseases. If you use 15 grams each of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Polygonum multiflorum, decoct in water to extract the juice, mix it with 1 tablespoon of honey and take it orally, the effect will be better. Use 30 grams of honey and 3 grams of refined salt, add cold boiled water and mix thoroughly. Take it once in the morning and once in the evening. It has a good laxative effect and is especially suitable for the elderly, the weak, and patients with constipation after illness. When there are respiratory diseases, yin deficiency and lung dryness, and long-term cough without phlegm, you can use 10 grams of butterbur, 15 grams of lily, and 15 grams of Polygonatum odorifera, boiled in water to get the juice, and add 2 tablespoons of honey to drink. You can also put an appropriate amount of honey into the hollow snow pear and stew it in water. This can eliminate the dry and itchy feeling in the throat caused by the dry climate and facilitate the smooth coughing up of phlegm accumulated in the trachea. Therefore, after the respiratory disease is cured, if you can drink honey regularly, it will not only prevent the recurrence of the old disease, but also strengthen your body. For children in the growing period, honey is often their favorite food. Honey contains iron and folic acid. Regular consumption of honey can prevent and correct anemia in children. In addition, honey also has the effect of moisturizing and whitening the skin. Because honey is rich in nutrients and diverse, and is easily absorbed and utilized by the human body, it has a moisturizing effect on the skin. Especially in winter when the climate is dry, eating more honey can prevent skin from chapped. Many high-end cosmetics are extracted from honey, which shows that it has a good protective effect on the skin.

If it can be taken internally and applied externally for a long time, it will help beauty and prolong life
