This drink helps the body replenish energy gently, supports the elimination of metabolites accumulated overnight and makes the body feel better in the morning.
About 15-16 o'clock
This is a time when many people, especially the elderly, easily feel tired or dry mouth. Instead of drinking coffee or eating sweets, you can drink a glass of diluted honey water. This helps replenish light energy, reduce fatigue without causing strong irritation to the body.
About 1 hour before going to bed
