1. Never use boiling water to drink
When the honey is heated to 67 ° C for a long time, the amylase in the honey will be decomposed and the color will be darkened; the vitamin C in honey will be destroyed by 1/5 to 1/2. In addition to 65% to 80% glucose and fructose, honey is also rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals. When eating honey, use warm water to drink, and the water temperature should not exceed 60 ℃. If hot water is poured into the honey, it will not only destroy its rich nutrients, but also cause its natural color, aroma and taste to change.
2. Do not consume too much.
Mature honey is a saturated solution of glucose and fructose. When you consume too much honey, it will cause an excessive increase in blood sugar and interfere with the function of insulin. Therefore, excessive consumption of honey is not suitable. The general dose of honey is: Adults consume 100 grams per day, the maximum is not more than 200 grams, divided into three times in the morning, middle and late, 30-60 grams in the morning, 40-80 grams at noon, 30-60 grams in the evening; It is better for children to consume 30 grams daily.
3. Pay attention to taking time.
The consumption time of honey is very particular. Generally, it is more suitable to eat 1 to 1.5 hours before meals or 2-3 hours after meals. However, for patients with gastrointestinal diseases, the time of consumption should be determined according to the condition, in order to play its health role. Some people do not pay attention to the time when they eat honey. They will drink honey water before and immediately after the meal. This will cause some harm to the human body and is not recommended.
4. Avoid the first cup of honey water in the morning
Everyone in weight loss knows that drinking honey water in the morning has the effect of detoxification, but can it really achieve the so-called cleansing of the intestines? Honey water contains corresponding sugars, not in the form of pure water. After drinking, the fructose in honey must be metabolized into glucose by the human body before it can be absorbed and used by the human body, thus losing the role of the first glass of water in the morning to clean up the body's internal environment. Moreover, as the first cup of water, honey cannot effectively replenish the water of the body's cells, the urination time is relatively slower than that of boiled water, and the efficacy of detoxification in the body is reduced. At this time, the body did not clear the waste, and came to accept the new material. The new material was mixed with the waste residue, and the metabolic absorption process of the old and new hybrid materials was presented. Even worse for health.
5.Don't drink on an empty stomach
Honey water is a sweet food. Drinking it on an empty stomach will only increase the secretion of gastric acid, leading to excessive gastric acid and damage to the gastric mucosa. Long-term drinking will increase acidity in the body, and gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers are not far away from you. Honey water is best to drink half an hour after a meal, the solubility should not be too high.
6.Do not eat with soy milk
The protein content of soybean milk is higher than that of milk, while honey mainly contains about 75% glucose and fructose, and also contains a small amount of organic acids. When the two are mixed, organic acids and proteins combine to produce a denatured precipitate, which is not easily absorbed by the human body. So honey water and soy milk can be drunk separately for about an hour, which is good for health.
In addition to not being suitable for consumption with soy milk, it is not good to eat with other foods, such as leek, honey and leek can cause diarrhea, and there is a lot of vitamin C in leek, while honey is rich in minerals Vitamin C will react with minerals, so that the nutrients that people absorb will be greatly reduced.
