      Honey, as the first glass of water, cannot effectively replenish the body's cells. The kidney's urinary excretion time is relatively slower than that of boiled water, which reduces the detoxification effect of the body. At this time, the body does not remove waste and accepts new high-quality (honey) substances. Then the new substances provided by the body are mixed with the waste residues metabolized overnight, resulting in a metabolic absorption process of new and old hybrid substances in the body. The nutrients of honey cannot be well obtained, and the re-metabolism of the residues is even more unfavorable. healthy . Therefore, drinking water first and then consuming honey ten minutes later is more conducive to maximizing the nutritional value of honey.

      sleep Drinking a cup of honey water 30-60 minutes before going to bed, which is the last cup before going to bed, is not suitable for everyone and is not recommended! The reason is that drinking honey water at this time, because honey water usually causes a rapid increase in blood sugar after drinking, how can it be said to relieve hypoglycemia in the middle of the night? In addition, cells are already dehydrated when sleeping at night, and blood viscosity is correspondingly high. Drinking honey water will dilute the blood viscosity, which will make things worse, and will not be conducive to preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. So in elderly , People with dyslipidemia are more suitable to use boiled water. Only by giving up the two firsts can the better nutritional value of honey be effectively exerted.

      In addition, honey water contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, biological enzymes and other nutrients, which have certain effects on beauty, laxative, etc. Therefore, after drinking safe water in the morning, the body will be relatively clean, and then consuming honey will be more conducive to exerting its preventive and therapeutic effects. In order not to affect appetite, honey can be eaten directly or with bread. It can also be mixed with yogurt, fruit and vegetable juices, etc., and the time can be arranged as needed except for the two "first" times. Therefore, if you give up the two "firsts" in the use of honey water, the nutritional value will be better.
