Children drink honey water on an empty stomach in the morning

Many parents like to give their children honey water in the morning. However, some parents are skeptical about this practice and wonder whether it is a good idea to give their children honey water. In fact, drinking honey water on an empty stomach in the morning is a good habit, and it is also a habit that can greatly improve children's physique and health. Next, I will introduce to you some knowledge about drinking honey water!

1. Drink honey in the morning

After getting up every morning, drink a glass of cold boiled water or a little warm boiled water with a spoonful of honey on an empty stomach. This can quickly replenish physical energy and make you full of energy for the day. However, in the early morning, after a night's sleep, most of the water in the body has been metabolized, and the blood viscosity is high. At this time, drinking water is needed to dilute the blood viscosity. Honey water contains sugar and is no longer pure water, so drinking honey water as the first glass in the morning will only increase the burden on your stomach and intestines.

It is recommended that you drink a cup of warm water of about 100 to 120 ml in the morning to dilute the blood viscosity. Honey water should be consumed about half an hour to an hour after drinking warm water. For example, drinking a cup of honey water with breakfast can effectively help intestinal peristalsis, thereby clearing out stool, detoxifying and beautifying the skin in the morning.

2. Drink honey water in the afternoon

The time between lunch and dinner is relatively long, and people's work and study reach their highest intensity in the afternoon, so the body is prone to hunger at this time. Therefore, supplementing with a glass of energy-containing honey water can quickly obtain sufficient energy. You can mix it with yogurt, fruit and vegetable juice according to your needs, and then eat it for richer nutrition.

3. A glass of honey water before going to bed

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 glucose and vitamins in honey can regulate the function of the nervous system, relieve nervous tension, and promote sleep without any side effects. A glass of honey water before going to bed can help you relieve your mood and improve your sleep quality. The elderly and children should remember to rinse their mouths after drinking honey water.

4. Drink honey water before and after meals

Drinking a glass of honey water before meals can enhance your feeling of fullness. If you are losing weight, you can drink it before meals. In addition, honey can inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, so drinking it before meals can also inhibit the irritation of gastric acid on the gastric mucosa. Drinking honey water after meals can help enhance intestinal motility, shorten bowel movement time, and help digest food.
