As a food and medicine, honey can be taken directly into the mouth, added to food, drinks, dishes, and made into cookies and other products. Honey has the ability to harmonize with all kinds of medicines, so it can be boiled down to make a variety of pills that are not only highly effective, but are also good for long-term storage. It can also be used as a “primer” for traditional Chinese medicine and can greatly enhance the effectiveness of the medicine. Honey contains 85% to 95% glucose and fructose and other monosaccharides, so honey does not need to be digested and can be absorbed directly by the body. Honey is an ideal food for the elderly, children, athletes, heavy workers and the sick and weak, and is known as a “health friend” by nutritional health experts. It has been scientifically and practically proven that the way honey is taken has a direct impact on its nutritional and medical effects, and that there is a great deal to be said for the scientific method of taking honey in order to give full play to its nutritional and medical effects. It is important to know how to take honey. Fresh, mature honey can be taken directly, or it can be prepared into an aqueous solution, as it is more easily absorbed than pure honey. However, you should never use boiling water or steam honey at high temperatures because unreasonable heating will cause serious damage to the nutrients in honey, deactivate the enzymes in honey, darken the color, evaporate the fragrance, change the taste, and give it an unpleasant sour taste. Research has shown that the enzymes in honey, especially amylase, are extremely unstable to heat, and the lowering of amylase value proves that the unique fragrance and taste of honey is damaged and evaporated, and the anti-bacterial effect is reduced and the nutrients are destroyed. Therefore, it is best to use warm boiled water or cool boiled water diluted below 40 degrees Celsius to take honey, especially in the hot summer months, using cold boiled water to wash down the honey diet can eliminate the heat, is a good cool health drink. You can also add honey to warm soy milk and milk and drink it together. You can also mix honey in cold dishes or use it on mineral water or pure water drinks, which are delicious and nutritious. Different ways of taking honey can have different effects. Under normal circumstances, honey is taken “raw”, that is, fresh honey is taken without heating, so that the nutrients are not damaged and can be fully utilized. The honey is a very good source of nutrients, but it is also a very good source of vitamins and enzymes. When boiled or processed at high temperature under special conditions, most of the enzymes and other active substances are destroyed, and its effects are mainly derived from its various sugars and minerals and other stable components. The time to take honey is very important, generally 1 to 1.5 hours before or 2 to 3 hours after a meal. However, for patients with gastrointestinal disorders, the time to take it should be determined according to the condition in order to facilitate its medical effects. Because scientific research and clinical practice has proven that honey has a dual effect on gastric acid secretion, when too much or too little gastric acid secretion, honey can play a regulatory role to normalize gastric acid secretion activities. If honey is taken an hour and a half before a meal, it can inhibit the secretion of gastric acid; if you eat immediately after taking honey, it will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid; warm honey water solution can dilute the gastric juice and reduce the acidity of gastric juice, while honey water solution can increase the acidity of gastric juice and stimulate the movement of the intestines with a light diarrhea effect. Therefore, excessive gastric acid or hypertrophic gastritis, especially gastric and duodenal ulcer patients, it is advisable to consume warm honey water 1 1/2 hours before meals, not only can inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, but also can make the gastric acid lower, thus reducing the stimulation of the gastric mucosa, which is conducive to the healing of the ulcer surface; and gastric acid deficiency or atrophic gastritis patients, it is advisable to take cold honey water immediately after eating; neurasthenia patients take honey before going to bed every day It can promote sleep, as honey has a calming and educational effect and improves sleep. The general dose of honey is 60-100g per day for adults, but not more than 200g per day, divided into three doses: morning, noon and night. 30～60g in the morning, 40～80g at noon, 30～60g at night. 30g per day for children is better and can be taken in several times with warm water. When used for treatment, 2 months as a course of treatment, you can receive significant results. The size of the dosage is mainly different from the purpose and need of taking honey, under normal circumstances, the dosage is slightly larger when used for treatment and smaller when used for health care, but also according to the actual physical and specific conditions of each person, the dosage is too small to achieve the corresponding effect, the dosage is too large and unnecessary, depending on the person’s situation.
