The stomach is the organ of the digestive tract that stores and digests food. In daily life, some people due to long-term drinking of strong wine, strong tea, coffee, excessive chili condiments, as well as ingestion of salty, sour and rough food, repeatedly stimulate the gastric mucosa, these unreasonable irregular eating habits and overeating damage the gastric mucosa, resulting in upper abdominal fullness or pain, poor appetite, nausea and vomiting, heartburn abdominal distention and other symptoms.

In such cases, some kind of medication is usually used to ease the pain. But some drugs not only do not have any effect, but will make stomach problems worse.

Manganese and other inorganic salts in honey

Can promote food digestion and human metabolism

The smell of honey is fragrant and delicious. From the perspective of nutrition and health care value, it is not only a nourishing and life-prolonging product, but also a good medicine for treating diseases. Honey contains about 35% glucose and 40% fructose, both of which can be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body. Honey also contains a variety of inorganic salts similar to the concentration of human serum and a certain amount of B1, B2, B6 and iron, calcium, copper, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and other vitamins. It is one of the most enzymes in food, such as amylase, lipase, invertase and so on.

Enzymes are "facilitators" that help the body digest, absorb, and metabolize and chemically change a range of substances. Honey can be said to be a good friend of the stomach, and has an immediate effect in the treatment of stomach diseases. This is because the inorganic salts such as manganese contained in honey promote food digestion and assimilation. Honey is also a medicine for treating constipation, and has the effect of moistening the bowel. Take honey three to four times a day and night.

1.5 hours before and 2 hours after meals

Are suitable for eating honey

The consumption time of honey is very particular, generally 1-1.5 hours before meals or 2-3 hours after meals is more appropriate. However, for patients with gastrointestinal diseases, the eating time should be determined according to the condition to facilitate the play of its medical role.

Because scientific research and clinical practice have proved that honey has a dual effect on gastric acid secretion, when gastric acid secretion is too much or too little, honey can play a regulating role in normalizing gastric acid secretion activities.

If you eat honey one and a half hours before meals, it can inhibit the secretion of stomach acid, if you eat honey immediately after eating, it will stimulate the secretion of stomach acid; Warm honey aqueous solution can dilute gastric juice and reduce the acidity of gastric juice, while cold honey aqueous solution can increase the acidity of gastric juice and stimulate the movement of intestinal tract, with laxative effect.

Therefore, excessive gastric acid or hypertrophic gastritis, especially in patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers, it is appropriate to eat warm honey water 1 hour before meals, which can inhibit the secretion of gastric acid and reduce gastric acid, thereby reducing the stimulation of gastric mucosa, which is conducive to the healing of ulcer surface; Patients with gastric acid deficiency or atrophic gastritis should eat immediately after eating cold honey water.

Can not use iron, aluminum and other metal and plastic containers

Store honey for a long time

The general dose of honey consumption is: adults eat 100 grams per day is more appropriate, no more than 200 grams, three times in the morning, middle and evening, 30-60 grams in the morning, 40-80 grams at noon, 30-60 grams in the evening, children eat 30 grams per day is better. When used for treatment, it takes two months for a course of treatment.

It is best to use glass and ceramic containers to store honey, and metal containers such as iron and aluminum can not be stored for a long time to prevent acids in honey from corroding the container and contaminating the honey with free heavy metals.

Use non-toxic plastic bottles to store honey should not be too long, honey into the container should be placed in a clean, cool, ventilated and dry place. After each honey intake, the container should be covered to prevent contamination.

Use 30 grams each of leek seeds and honey. First ground leek seeds into fine powder, and then with honey and as pills, morning, evening each 10 grams, the treatment of stomach pain has a good effect. When the stomach is full, uncomfortable, churning or painful, take a fresh lemon, squeeze out the juice, add an appropriate amount of honey, warm water, rock sugar after drinking, half an hour or an hour can be effective.

Honey can not only treat gastritis in clinic, but also add some drugs in honey to treat ulcer disease. Such as every morning with warm water to 6 grams of honey, fasting or with 15 grams of salvia miltiorrhiza, 6 grams of wood, 6 grams of licorice, fried juice to honey, can assist in the treatment of stomach and duodenal ulcer and a variety of stomach pain.

The reason why it has such a good effect is because honey is a potential alkaline substance, and the inorganic salts it contains, such as manganese, have the effect of promoting food digestion, thereby reducing the gastrointestinal burden and relieving symptoms.
