Is it good for men to drink honey? When is the best time to drink it every day?

According to experts, there are many benefits of drinking honey in daily life, such as replenishing the body with a certain amount of physical strength, helping people to maintain beauty, health and wellness, etc. For men, drinking honey daily can also increase the body's resistance, especially for men who have more social activities.

1. How to eat:

Fresh and mature honey can be eaten directly or made into an aqueous solution, because the aqueous solution is easier to absorb than pure honey. However, you must never use boiling water or high-temperature steaming to boil honey, because unreasonable heating will seriously damage the nutrients in honey, inactivate the enzymes in honey, darken the color, evaporate the fragrance, change the taste, and make it taste unpleasant and sour. Studies have shown that enzymes, especially amylase, are extremely unstable to heat among the nutritional components of honey. A decrease in the amylase value proves that the unique fragrance and taste of honey are destroyed and evaporated, the antibacterial effect decreases, and the nutrients are destroyed. Therefore, honey is best diluted with warm or cold boiled water below 40°C before consumption. Especially in the hot summer, drinking honey with cold boiled water can relieve heat and is a good cooling and health drink.

2. Time of consumption Honey is very particular about its consumption time. Generally, it is more appropriate to consume it 1-1.5 hours before meals or 2-3 hours after meals. However, for patients with gastrointestinal diseases, the consumption time should be determined according to the condition to facilitate its medical effect. Because scientific research and clinical practice have proved that honey has a dual effect on gastric acid secretion. When gastric acid secretion is too much or too little, honey can play a regulatory role and normalize gastric acid secretion activity. If honey is consumed one and a half hours before meals, it can inhibit gastric acid secretion; if it is consumed immediately after eating honey, it can inhibit gastric acid secretion.

It stimulates the secretion of gastric acid

Warm honey water solution can dilute gastric juice and reduce gastric acidity, while cold honey water solution can increase gastric acidity and stimulate intestinal movement, which has a laxative effect. Therefore, patients with excessive gastric acid or hypertrophic gastritis, especially gastric and duodenal congestion, should drink warm honey water 1.5 hours before meals, which can not only inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, but also reduce gastric acid, thereby reducing the stimulation to the gastric mucosa and facilitating the healing of ulcers; while patients with achlorhydria or atrophic gastritis should drink cold honey water and eat immediately. People with neurasthenia can promote sleep by eating honey before going to bed every day, because honey has the effect of calming the nerves, improving intelligence and improving sleep.
