Can honey clear away heat and detoxify?
Honey can clear away heat and detoxify.
In hot weather, many people will have oral ulcers. Where there are oral ulcers, rubbing with honey will obviously improve. For friends who work outside, a cup of honey water will make you feel refreshed! Of course, the most important thing is to drink more water!
Although honey has the function of clearing heat and detoxifying, it is not suitable for everyone to drink, as follows:
Who is not suitable for drinking honey water?
1. People with cold and wet constitution should not drink honey water.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, honey has the functions of strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach, moistening the intestines to relieve constipation, relieving dry mouth, dry skin and dry stool, and calming the nerves. Honey can nourish yin and moisten dryness, which is suitable for patients with yin deficiency and excessive fire. However, people with cold and wet constitution, or people who often have edema, eating honey will aggravate the moisture, which is not worth the candle. Therefore, you should consider your physique before eating honey.
2. Diabetic patients can't take honey.
Nutritional analysis shows that the main components in honey are carbohydrates, of which glucose and fructose are the highest. These two substances are monosaccharides, which can be directly absorbed into the blood without digestion after entering the intestine. If diabetics take a lot of honey for a long time, it is definitely not conducive to the stability of blood sugar. From this perspective, people with diabetes can't eat honey.
Babies under one year old should not drink honey water.
Honey is rich in nutrition and is a good food for the public. Many new mothers also add some honey to their baby food supplements. But experts point out that infants under 1 year old are not suitable for eating honey. Because honey is easily contaminated by Botox during brewing and transportation. Botulinum botulinum spores have strong adaptability and can still survive at the high temperature of 100℃. Because the gastrointestinal function of infants is weak, and the detoxification function of the liver is poor, especially for infants under one year old, botulinum is easy to multiply in the intestine and produce toxins, thus causing poisoning. In addition, experts also reminded that infants and young children over 1 year old should be cautious when drinking honey, and the consumption should be appropriately reduced compared with adults.
4. Gout patients should not drink honey water
Gout is a chronic metabolic disease with abnormal increase of uric acid concentration in blood as the main pathological basis. It was found that whether healthy people or gout patients, oral or intravenous infusion of a large amount of fructose can cause an increase in blood uric acid, especially in gout patients. This may be due to the rapid metabolism of fructose into cells, which increased the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate. The molecular structure of adenosine triphosphate contains purine base, which can release purine after decomposition and eventually metabolize to uric acid, causing the increase of blood uric acid. So honey is not suitable for people with gout and hyperuricemia.
