Can honey be added to ginger soup

Boiling ginger soup can contain honey, which can enhance the effect of expelling cold and warming the stomach, but diabetes patients should be careful to eat it. Ginger contains gingerol and volatile oil, which have the effects of sweating, relieving the surface, warming the middle, and stopping nausea. Honey is rich in fructose and various active enzymes, which can moisten the lungs, relieve cough, and neutralize the spiciness of ginger. Adding honey to warm ginger soup can not only improve the taste, but also synergistically enhance the effect of relieving early symptoms of wind cold and cold. It should be noted that honey should not be boiled at high temperatures for a long time. It is recommended to add ginger soup when it is cooked and cooled to below 60 degrees Celsius to avoid damaging the nutritional components in honey. People with weak and cold constitution and those who cough after catching a cold are suitable for this combination, which can be consumed 1-2 times a day.

In some special circumstances, it is necessary to avoid eating together. For patients with excessive stomach acid or acute gastric ulcer, the irritability of ginger may exacerbate discomfort. Diabetes patients need to control the amount of honey to avoid blood sugar fluctuations. Infants and young children under 1 year old with incomplete gut microbiota are prohibited from consuming honey to prevent botulism. People who are allergic to honey or ginger may experience skin itching and other reactions, and should stop using it immediately.

When drinking daily, you can choose to pair jujube honey, lychee honey, isothermal honey with ginger, and avoid eating with cool ingredients. If there are symptoms of internal heat such as dry mouth and tongue, reduce the amount of ginger or drink it with chrysanthemum. When storing, it should be sealed and protected from light. It is recommended to boil and drink it immediately to ensure its effectiveness. If the symptoms persist for more than three days or are accompanied by high fever, medical attention should be sought and dietary therapy alone should not be relied upon.
