Can women drink honey to treat menstrual cramps? Banana milk with honey. Although the vast majority of women's menstrual cramps are a physiological phenomenon, the vicious stimulation of pain often makes people restless and unable to sleep. A solution proposed by an American obstetrician and gynecologist expert can help you alleviate the pain: drinking a cup of warm milk with a spoonful of honey before bed every night can relieve or even eliminate the pain of menstrual cramps. Why do these two such ordinary foods have such great power? It turns out to be thanks to two minerals: potassium and magnesium (milk is rich in potassium, while honey is a "rich mine" of magnesium). Research shows that potassium is extremely important for the conduction of nerve impulses, the blood clotting process, and the function of all cells in the human body. It can calm emotions, inhibit pain, prevent infection, and reduce menstrual blood loss; magnesium helps maintain normal levels of active substances with neurotransmitter effects in the brain. In the late stage of menstruation, magnesium can also play a psychological regulatory role, helping the body to relax, eliminate tension, and reduce stress. Honey is rich in fructose, glucose, vitamins C, K, B2, B6, various organic acids, and trace elements of the human body, and is a good medicine for treating many diseases. In recent years, the health value of honey has been widely recognized by people, and it is known as the most ideal health drink. There are pros and cons to eating honey. It is not advisable to use boiling water to brew or high-temperature to cook honey, because unreasonable heating will seriously damage the nutrients in honey, inactivate the enzymes in honey, and produce a sour taste when consumed, destroying the unique aroma and flavor of honey. High temperature will also reduce the antibacterial effect of honey and destroy its nutritional value. Therefore, it is best to dilute honey with warm water or cold water below 40°C before consumption. Especially in hot summer, drinking honey mixed with cold water can relieve summer heat and is a great health drink.
