Royal jelly is known as the "liquid soft gold", which nourishes the body, maintains the skin, and has extremely high nutritional value. It can also improve intelligence and physical immunity, be effective in treating anemia, and have good therapeutic effects in preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Whether in ancient or modern times, it is a good nourishing food. Since there are many benefits to consuming royal jelly, can children drink royal jelly?
Although royal jelly is a nourishing product, there are also many taboos when consuming it. Generally, children are not allowed to drink royal jelly. Because children are in the stage of developing and growing their bodies, the hormones secreted in their bodies are in a relatively complex and balanced state. Royal jelly contains a small amount of hormones. If children consume it, it can disrupt the balance of hormones in their bodies, leading to hormonal imbalances and affecting their normal growth and development.
If a child is not fully developed, they can consume royal jelly in moderation under the guidance of a doctor. The estrogen it contains can promote balanced physical development to a certain extent. Children over 16 years old can drink in small amounts when needed. People with allergies, pregnancy, breast and ovarian diseases, and elderly men are also not suitable for consuming royal jelly.
Although royal jelly has high nutritional value, if it is not suitable for oneself, one should still be careful not to drink it blindly. When consuming royal jelly, be careful not to mix it with boiling water or tea. If the temperature is too high, it will damage the active ingredients. The tannic acid and iron contained in tea can also reduce its therapeutic effect.
