Does Drinking Honey Water Cause Heatiness or Relieve It?

Honey can be said to be a cheap and nutritious food in daily life. Eating some honey every day can not only nourish the body, but also make our skin look smoother. However, some people worry that drinking honey water frequently will lead to body heat, but in fact, honey is a warm and nourishing food, and regular consumption will not cause body heat, but attention should be paid to obesity. Honey is a natural sweet substance made by bees from nectar collected from flowering plants in the hive after full brewing. It smells fragrant and tastes pure and sweet. Bees collect nectar or secretions with about 75% water content from plants, store them in their second stomach, and then store the transformed nectar or secretions in the nest holes through various conversions in the bee body and seal them with beeswax. After about 15 days of repeated brewing, various vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are enriched to a certain value, and the polysaccharides in the nectar are converted into monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose that can be directly absorbed by the human body. Nectar or secretions with a water content of less than 23% are honey. Honey is a supersaturated solution of sugar, which will crystallize at low temperatures. The crystals formed are glucose, and the part that does not produce crystals is mainly fructose. Natural honey containing active enzymes cannot be heated above 60 degrees Celsius, otherwise the active enzymes will be denatured and inactivated at high temperatures, destroying the nutrients in them. When honey is brewed with warm water or cold water, it tastes sweet, and when brewed with higher temperature, the taste will become sour. Honey is a yellow-white viscous liquid collected by bees from nectar and naturally fermented. Ancient Greeks saw honey as a "gift from God". China has begun artificial beekeeping and honey collection since ancient times. Honey is not only a good medicine but also a superior beverage that can prolong life.
