Honey honey is the largest of the three and the most widely eaten. Mainly from the collected nectar or secretions, the color and taste will be different due to the types of flowers, and they will also have different effects. But overall, the nutritional value of honey is really high.
Honey is sweet and flat, and belongs to spleen, lung, heart, stomach and large intestine meridians. It has many advantages, such as moistening dryness and detoxicating, regulating stomach and intestines, relaxing bowels, relieving fatigue and improving human immunity.
Analyze the characteristics of honey from the aspect of nutritional components. Most of them are fructose and glucose, which are easily absorbed by the human body. Honey is rich in organic acids, which can stimulate the secretion of digestive juice and promote appetite. Studies have shown that the composition of honey is very similar to that of human serum, especially the types and contents of minerals. Active enzymes are one of the most important characteristics of honey, such as abundant amylase, oxidase, reductase and other enzymes. The better the honey, the more enzymes it contains, but it is easily destroyed by temperature. So honey is best brewed with warm boiled water, not boiled water.

Young bees that eat royal jelly will develop into queen bees in the future, while ordinary worker bees can only eat honey and pollen. You can imagine the powerful nutritional value of royal jelly. Royal jelly comes from a kind of milk secreted by young bees after eating pollen, so royal jelly contains active substances similar to sex hormones, which can regulate human hormones and promote angiogenesis. In addition, royal jelly also has the functions of preventing arteriosclerosis, enhancing memory, delaying aging, improving immunity and regulating endocrine.
Royal jelly is still dominated by sugar, but it is rich in protein, which is rich in essential amino acids easily absorbed by human body, and contains almost all the nutrients needed for human growth and development. In terms of characteristics, queen acid (decenoic acid 10-HDA) is not only rich in protein with high activity, but also a characteristic of royal jelly, which mainly plays a role in improving immunity. It contains acetylcholine, which can make autonomic nerve disorder return to normal, help nerve recovery and help sleep. Because it is rich in active ingredients, royal jelly is the most sensitive to temperature, and it still needs warm water to take, especially on an empty stomach in the morning and evening.
The stronger the nutrition, the more taboo people there are. Royal jelly is more suitable for the elderly, people who are prone to fatigue and people who have poor sleep, while children and pregnant women should avoid eating it, and diabetics should pay attention to controlling the dosage. Royal jelly is not recommended for people with gastrointestinal discomfort after illness or operation. It is reported that royal jelly can lower blood pressure.
Propolis is a gel composed of collected resin mixed with bee gland secretion, which has a certain viscosity and the best antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, but the output is very small. Propolis is known as a natural broad-spectrum antibiotic, which has strong immune activity. It has been successfully applied to the clinical treatment of many diseases, such as our common propolis oral membrane, which has become the first choice for the treatment of oral ulcers.
In terms of composition, quercetin, a flavonoid, is more prominent. Quercetin has the effects of dilating coronary vessels, reducing blood lipid, antithrombotic, antibacterial, antiviral and antitumor. Propolis also contains some trace elements that are very important to people, such as selenium, manganese, cobalt and molybdenum.
