生蜂蜜对你有好处吗?
While sugar is the main component of raw honey, it also contains compounds that make it much more than something to sweeten your tea. For example, it contains antioxidants, which can protect against cell damage from free radicals and certain chronic conditions like heart disease and cancer. Additionally, raw honey naturally contains hydrogen peroxide, which can kill fungus and bacteria that lead to infections. It can also be beneficial for alleviating a sore throat and soothing a cough (via Healthline).
虽然糖是生蜂蜜的主要成分,但蜂蜜还含有其他化合物,而不仅仅是让你的茶更甜。例如,它含有抗氧化剂,可以防止自由基和某些慢性疾病(如心脏病和癌症)对细胞的损害。此外,生蜂蜜天然含有过氧化氢,可以杀死导致感染的真菌和细菌。它也有助于缓解喉咙痛和缓解咳嗽。
While there are many reasons to add raw honey to your diet, it has the potential to lead to botulism poisoning (via Healthline). For this reason, babies under one year of age should not eat raw honey. Infant botulism poisoning can cause dangerous effects like slowed breathing, paralysis, constipation, and the inability to control their head. Adult botulism poisoning can cause diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and muscle weakness. Don't hesitate to call your doctor right away if you suspect botulism poisoning.
虽然在你的饮食中添加生蜂蜜有很多原因,但它有可能导致肉毒杆菌中毒。因此,一岁以下的婴儿不应该吃生蜂蜜。婴儿肉毒杆菌中毒会导致呼吸缓慢、瘫痪、便秘和无法控制头部等危险后果。成人肉毒杆菌中毒可导致腹泻、呕吐、便秘和肌无力。如果你怀疑是肉毒杆菌中毒,不要犹豫,马上给你的医生打电话。
