Many people believe that drinking honey water on an empty stomach in the morning can help stimulate bowel movements and support digestion. However, for the majority of people who do not have constipation, drinking too much honey water can cause diarrhea, especially in people who are not tolerating fructose.
In addition, honey contains two single sugars, fructose and glucose. These sugars are quickly absorbed by the body, so drinking too much can increase blood sugar levels.
People with high uric acid levels should also limit honey water. Because honey is rich in sugar and calories, when metabolized in the body, it can increase uric acid, thereby easily triggering gout attacks.
In the morning, you should drink warm water at about 40-50 degrees Celsius instead of water that is too hot. The esophageal mucosa can only withstand a temperature of about 40-50 degrees Celsius; if it exceeds 65 degrees Celsius, it can cause damage, ulcers and many other health problems.
In addition, the amount of water to drink should also be adjusted depending on physical condition, digestive ability and weather conditions. You only need to drink until you are no longer thirsty or your lips are no longer dry. Each time drinking about 100-300 ml is appropriate. When drinking, you should take small sips and drink slowly so that the body absorbs better, avoiding putting pressure on the digestive system.
