Don’t take Manuka honey on an empty stomach

Modern people generally live at a fast pace, which makes it impossible for our physical and mental health to be effectively taken care of, and gastrointestinal problems are always bothering us; for those who are eager to improve gastrointestinal problems, all convenient, fast and effective methods are worth trying. Well, for daily health care and gastrointestinal care, no product is more suitable than pure honey, but do you know why Manuka honey cannot be taken on an empty stomach? What is the reason why Manuka honey should not be taken on an empty stomach?

Why can't you take Manuka honey on an empty stomach?

It is said that the rare Manuka honey contains a unique special ingredient, which has strong antibacterial and antioxidant capabilities. It can not only promote wound repair, relieve stomach diseases and various gastrointestinal problems, but also enhance the body's immunity. The reason why British bee products are so popular is entirely because they have unique health and medical functions, and their antibacterial effect is stronger than that of ordinary honey; their antibacterial effect even exceeds that of some traditional antibiotics, which is attributed to the high concentration of natural antibacterial specific ingredients in Manuka.

Although Manuka honey has excellent health-care effects, it is very particular about how it is taken. Many people are curious why Manuka honey cannot be taken on an empty stomach? In fact, the best way to take Manuka honey is to put it in the mouth and take it directly. Swallowing it slowly can allow the specific antibacterial ingredients in the honey to fill the entire mouth, thereby achieving the effect of sterilizing and protecting teeth.

If you want to better preserve the specificity of the Manuka extract, you can only drink it with cold water below 30°C. Above this temperature, the antibacterial activity factors will become ineffective. In addition, drinking honey water on an empty stomach can easily increase the body's acidity and alkalinity, which will cause excessive stomach acid over time and cause gastric ulcers or duodenal ulcers. Therefore, people with poor gastrointestinal function are best to drink honey water 1.5-2 hours after a meal to avoid aggravating the gastrointestinal burden.
