The magic gift of nature - Bee Honey - Our ancestors considered almost a panacea for all diseases.
In any case, people did not know about flu epidemics until the 19th century.
Honey ate it just like that or prepared "living water", honey drinks.
Does fasting and honey water bring benefits or harm? That's what scientists say about the wisdom of the past.
Water with honey: how to make, what honey, composition
The honey drink recipe is extremely simple, although there are several options for making it. For the first, basic option you will need:
• a glass of ordinary drinking water;
• a teaspoon of bee honey.
Dissolving honey in a glass, we get a priceless drink in terms of health. In its composition, it will be similar to the plasma of human blood. This is one of the secrets of water with honey, the benefits and harms of which directly depend on the composition of the drink.
Water should in no case be boiled. Boiling kills not only harmful microorganisms, but destroys the natural structure of water molecules, deprives it of taste and all natural benefits. But honey, on the contrary, is able to structure water (but only raw), improve its quality and turn it into life-giving moisture. You can use filtered tap water, bottled, spring and even non-carbonated mineral.
Our cells assimilate a properly prepared drink instantly, absorbing all the benefits of honey and structured water. Scientists have found that cold honey water, due to special cluster bonds, has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the cells of the human body, normalizing it. And this means that all internal organs will be regularly updated at the cellular level.
But there are several nuances that you should definitely remember:
1. Water should be at room temperature, completely comfortable to drink, or a little cool. The fact is that you will have to drink honey solution quickly, in one gulp, to stimulate the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
2. Scientists have found that at high temperatures the beneficial properties of honey are lost, almost all vitamins and minerals are destroyed. Therefore, in no case should the bee product be dissolved in boiling water, hot water or tea.
3. Honey must certainly be natural, that is, not contain impurities such as beet sugar. An unnatural composition will make the drink useless, since its composition will turn out to be completely different.
4. The honey variety does not matter. You can buy a flower, buckwheat, lime - an excellent honey drink will turn out in any case.
Studying the effect of honey water on the human body, scientists have confirmed the facts obvious to our ancestors. For example, the one that regularly drink strengthens the immune system, solves the problem of "lazy intestines", that is, relieves persistent constipation.
It is more useful to drink a cold solution, and do it quickly. But if you feel discomfort, you can slightly warm the water and drink it in small sips.
In addition to the basic recipe, there are two more options water with honey, the benefits and harms in this case will depend not only on honey, but also on additional components.
Apple Cider Vinegar or Lemon Juice
To prepare a honey drink according to the second recipe, you need to mix:
• a glass of clean water;
• a teaspoon of honey;
• a tablespoon of natural apple cider vinegar;
• Instead of vinegar, you can use a spoon of freshly squeezed juice from fresh lemon.
This composition acts stronger due to the greater acidity of the drink. Drinking acidified water with honey on an empty stomach, the benefits or harms of such a product will be much more pronounced. You need to drink the solution early in the morning, the optimal interval is from five to seven in the morning. Breakfast can only be an hour after reception.
However, honey water with lemon can be drunk both in the morning and in the evening, half an hour before bedtime. And remember: no citric acid! Only natural lemon, the juice from which is pressed before the preparation of the drink.
Ginger root
Finally, the third version of honey water involves the use of ginger. This is not at all the honey drink that our ancestors drank, but this does not deprive it of its special charm and undoubted benefit. To the basic recipe from a glass of water and a spoonful of honey you need to add:
• a piece of ginger root 2-3 centimeters thick;
• a spoonful of fresh lemon juice.
It will turn out honey-ginger lemonade, which must be allowed to brew before use. You can drink it slightly warmed up, or, conversely, chilled. In summer, you can supplement the taste with mint leaves, currants. Such a drink is not necessary to drink on an empty stomach, because its task is different: not to stimulate the digestive processes, but to heal, cleanse, have a healing effect on the whole organism.
By the way, if you properly prepare and drink a honey drink at night, then there will be no consequences in the form of morning edema. Unlike boiled dead water, raw water structured with honey relieves the kidneys, preventing swelling.
