Honey is a good tonic in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it has the effects of nourishing qi, moisturizing dryness and quenching thirst, clearing heat and detoxifying, etc., and is widely used to regulate a variety of problems. However, not everyone is suitable for consuming honey, especially the following four groups of people, if you don't pay attention to it, it will cause harm to your body.
The first group of people is diabetics. Honey contains a lot of glucose and fructose, which are easily absorbed by the body, causing blood sugar to rise. It is very important for diabetics to control their blood sugar, so consuming honey may cause blood sugar to get out of control and aggravate the condition. Therefore, diabetic patients should pay special attention to avoiding honey in their daily diet.
The second type of people are people who are damp. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, dampness is a kind of agenic element, and there is a lot of dampness in the body of a person with heavy dampness, and then eating honey, which nourishes yin and moisturizes dry food, is easy to aggravate dampness and cause physical discomfort. Therefore, people with heavy moisture should avoid consuming honey to avoid aggravating the condition.
The third type of people are people who have a weak spleen and stomach. Honey has the effect of moisturizing yin and dryness, but it also has a certain coolness. For people with spleen and stomach deficiency, their spleen and stomach function is already weak, and then eating cold food can easily lead to further decline in spleen and stomach function, resulting in loss of appetite, bloating, diarrhea and other problems. Therefore, people with a weak spleen and stomach should consume honey with caution.
The fourth group of people is people with allergies. Honey contains some pollen, bee venom, and other components that may cause allergic reactions for people with allergies. Therefore, people with allergies should take an allergy test before consuming honey to confirm that there is no allergic reaction before eating it in moderation.
In conclusion, while honey is a very good tonic, it is not suitable for everyone. In particular, the above four groups of people should carefully consider their physical condition and needs before consuming honey to avoid unnecessary harm to the body. At the same time, we should also recognize the importance of TCM health preservation and maintain good health through a reasonable diet and lifestyle.
