Drinking a cup of honey water on an empty stomach in the morning can treat constipation. Honey has the effect of moistening intestines and laxative. Drinking on an empty stomach can effectively promote gastrointestinal motility, facilitate food digestion and absorption, and also help laxative. It can quickly produce stool. However, it should be noted that drinking honey water on an empty stomach can stimulate gastric acid secretion. It can only be drunk on an empty stomach occasionally.
