Honey can be consumed at any time of the day, it is recommended to consume it in appropriate amounts and at specific times to reap maximum health benefits.
Morning is the best time to add honey to increase energy levels and maintain energy. You mix honey with a glass of warm water, which is not only good for the skin but also brings many health benefits, such as helping to lose weight, improve the digestive system, protect against bacterial and viral infections, eliminate toxins from the body, increase water and body moisture.
Evenings are when the body is tired and exhausted, honey energizes the rest of the day. You add honey instead of sugary snacks in the evening to quickly overcome the lack of energy.
Health experts also recommend eating honey before going to bed. Drinking honey with a glass of warm milk will bring good sleep, improve liver function, and support the treatment of acid reflux.
Honey is a home remedy for coughs and colds due to its strong antibacterial properties. It also stimulates the immune system to help you recover faster from illness. Besides its delicious taste, honey is also a natural decongestant and improves metabolic function.
In addition to the above times, honey is a rich source of carbohydrates and natural sugars, so it can be consumed whenever you feel tired and exhausted for an energy boost. For example, people who like to exercise can consume honey before or after a workout to replenish energy, improve performance, and is a great substitute for sugary energy drinks. Note, do not overuse it.
