In order to achieve my weight loss goal, I often drink honey water. My friend said that honey water should be drunk on an empty stomach to have the effect of weight loss. Can honey be eaten on an empty stomach?

    Although honey is good, it cannot be eaten on an empty stomach. Drinking honey water on an empty stomach in the morning will cause excessive gastric acid secretion and an increase in glycemic index, which is detrimental to people with digestive system diseases such as gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer and diabetes. It is recommended to drink honey water or honey milk before going to bed at night, which has a good calming effect.
