What kind of honey is suitable for children

Children's growth and development is an issue that many adults are very concerned about. Honey is very common in life and may be used in many places. Therefore, it can also be said that honey is a health food. Of course, not everyone can drink honey. Children also have to pay attention to many things when drinking honey due to their age, and they should choose suitable honey. So what kind of honey is suitable for children?

1. Suitable honey types: alpine meadow honey and coriander nectar. Compared with jujube honey and rapeseed honey, these honeys are much safer. Since these nectars do not need to bear fruit after flowering, generally no one sprays pesticides on the flowers. Moreover, most of these plants grow in the mountains, where the air is fresh, safe and pollution-free, and suitable for children. Moreover, it is better to assist in treating constipation.

2. Please note that some parents use jujube honey to treat their children's constipation. This is a wrong choice of honey. Jujube honey not only does not cure constipation, but will aggravate it. Among all honeys, only jujube flower honey is special. It is warm in nature, can easily cause internal heat and constipation. Except jujube flower honey, other honeys can cure constipation. Also, don't buy honey labeled "children's honey." Children's honey cannot be produced in nature, nor is there any honey specially produced for children to eat. The so-called children's honey is mostly honey with other substances added.

3. The time for giving honey to children is not fixed every day. It is generally recommended that children eat honey 1-1.5 hours before meals or 2-3 hours after meals, because eating honey at this time will not affect children’s normal meals, but also help children digest and absorb food and enhance their appetite. The amount of honey consumed by young children mainly depends on the purpose and need of taking honey. The general dosage is 30 grams per day, which can be taken with warm water several times. Under normal circumstances, a slightly larger dosage is used for treatment, and a slightly smaller dosage is used for health care. At the same time, it is necessary to flexibly control the dosage according to the actual physical condition of each child. If the dosage is too small, the corresponding effect will not be achieved, and if the dosage is too large, it is unnecessary. It needs to be determined according to the individual's circumstances.
