CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is drinking honey good for your health?

Drinking a glass of water on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning is good for your health, but what kind of water is good to drink? Some people advocate drinking light salt water, while others advocate drinking honey water. In fact, it is best to drink a glass of warm water after getting up.

After a night's sleep, the blood has become concentrated and the body urgently needs water. At this time, if you drink a glass of boiled water, the blood can be diluted quickly, and the water molecules quickly enter the cells, improving the body's dehydration.

However, some people advocate drinking a glass of light salt water in the morning. There is even a folk proverb that says, "Drinking salt water in the morning is like drinking ginseng soup." It is believed that this can quickly absorb water into the body, dilute the blood, increase blood flow, and prevent cerebral thrombosis and arteriosclerosis. In fact, drinking light salt water after getting up will increase the salt content in the body, aggravate dehydration, and make people more dry mouth; what's more, the morning is the first peak of blood pressure rise in the human body. Drinking salt water will make blood pressure higher, which is even more dangerous for the elderly with high blood pressure. However, since diarrhea patients lose more sodium in their bodies, drinking some light salt water will be good for the body.

Some people are used to drinking honey water in the morning, believing that it can moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. Honey does have this effect, but the main purpose of the first glass of water after getting up is to replenish water. If honey is added to the water, the body must excrete water to dilute and digest the honey, which will also aggravate dehydration.
