Honey water is a health drink that we often consume in our daily lives. It is a natural health food, especially for women. Drinking honey water not only has the effect of beauty and skincare, but also can moisturize the lungs and relieve cough. Let's take a look at the benefits and effects of honey water!
1. Relieves fatigue
Among all natural foods, honey has the highest content of energy needed by brain neurons. The fructose and glucose in honey can be rapidly absorbed and utilized by the body, improving the nutritional status of the blood. Usage: Drink a glass of honey water at noon.
2. Relieves indigestion
Honey can promote the normal secretion of gastric acid and enhance intestinal peristalsis, significantly shortening the time of defecation. Usage: Take 25 grams of honey on an empty stomach in the morning and evening.
3. Moisturizes the lungs and relieves cough
Honey has the effects of anti-inflammatory, phlegm elimination, lung moisturization, and cough relief. Loquat honey has the best cough relieving effect. Usage: Cut a pear into thin slices and mix with honey, and eat it several times a day.
4. Promotes sleep
The glucose, vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium in honey can regulate the function of the nervous system, relieve nervous tension, and promote sleep. Moreover, honey does not have the suppressive, tiredness, and distraction side effects of other drugs. Apple honey has the most prominent sedative function. Usage: Take a spoonful of honey before bed every night.
5. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial
After removing the sugar from honey, its acidity is equivalent to vinegar, which can prevent bacteria from surviving at the wound site. Even without bacteria, under the action of honey, the swelling and pain of the wound will be greatly reduced, and it can also eliminate dead muscle and accelerate wound healing. Usage: Wash the wound with 10%-15% honey solution, and apply pure honey for dressing.
6. Hangover remedy
Honey contains a type of fructose that most fruits do not have. It can promote the decomposition and absorption of alcohol, so it is beneficial for quickly sobering up and relieving the headache after drinking. Usage: Eat 50 grams of honey or a few pieces of honey-coated biscuits or bread before drinking, and drink honey water after drinking.
