Can honey be consumed on an empty stomach?

Honey is mainly made from nectar collected by bees from some flowering plants, and then brewed in their own beehives. The reason why honey is valued by people is that it has many functions. It can be used as a medicine, and it is also a delicious and high-quality beverage. It can beautify the skin and prolong life. So, can honey be consumed on an empty stomach? Let’s take a look!

It is wrong to drink a glass of honey water on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning.

There are two reasons: 1. Drinking a glass of warm water on an empty stomach is the best way to go in the morning;

2. Honey water contains sugar. The blood needs to replenish water in the morning to excrete waste from the body. Before the waste is excreted, it is not conducive for the body to absorb the nutrients in the honey water. Generally speaking, drinking some honey water after replenishing water in the early morning is a good choice, which can help relieve constipation.

Honey has excellent bactericidal and detoxifying effects. It can excrete wastes retained in the body, improve the body's metabolic function, and burn excess fat that has accumulated in the body due to poor consumption as energy. If the sugar in honey can be transported from the stomach to the blood, it can be converted into energy and quickly eliminate fatigue. As blood sugar levels rise, hunger disappears.

In fact, drinking one cup each morning and evening is the best, and it has the best effect on lubricating the intestines. In the morning, drink one cup after getting up. In the evening, if you are not afraid of gaining weight, you can drink one cup three hours before going to bed. If you are afraid of gaining weight, it is best to finish drinking it before 8 o'clock. If you drink one cup each morning and evening for a long time, it will be good for your skin and intestines. Drinking honey regularly can relieve the pain of hemorrhoids.

There is a saying in Chinese medicine: "Salt water in the morning, honey soup at night". What it means is: drink light salt water on an empty stomach every morning, and drink honey water before going to bed every night.

The reason for this is: drinking light salt water in the morning can dilute the blood that becomes very viscous after waking up, and it also has a slight anti-inflammatory effect, moisturizing the intestines and stomach and facilitating bowel movements; drinking honey water at night helps beautify the skin and replenish various trace elements. Therefore, a more scientific way is to drink the honey water at night and drink light salt water in the morning.

Of course, some people have difficulty defecation, so drinking honey water early in the morning can help with defecation. It still depends on personal physical condition.

It is best to drink warm boiled water on an empty stomach in the morning. Occasionally, you can use honey instead of breakfast to cleanse the intestines, but only occasionally.

Benefits: prevent constipation, nourish the skin, and promote health and longevity. Disadvantages: drinking honey water on an empty stomach can easily increase the acidity in the body, which can cause excessive stomach acid over time and lead to gastric ulcers or duodenal ulcers. It is recommended to drink honey water 1.5-2 hours after a meal.

When drinking honey, the water temperature should not be too hot, otherwise it will easily cause diarrhea, gastroenteritis and other diseases. There are many kinds of honey on the market, and the quality is also uneven. There are many fakes made with white sugar or something, so everyone must keep their eyes open when buying, otherwise you will not get the effect you want, so be sure to pay attention.
