Lesson number 3

"Good boy, Misha, you've brought their friends - looking at the company, which also sat on the bench, along with Winnie the Pooh: Piglet, Owl, Rabbit, - and taught them to dress properly", - said Tamara V.. "Open your notebook, write down the number, and before we go to the apiary, we once again talk about the taste of honey. Tamara V. opened jars of honey, on which was written: Sweet Clover, grasses, sainfoin, buckwheat, taiga. We kids were little saucers, spoons, cups of tea with balm and currant leaves, and with plain water. "In the autumn we have had with you a tasting, we were taught to distinguish between the honey and honey requests to feel what your body - that is, you feel that this med is most like you. We have come to the guys who were not on this lesson, so we will combine the work. But first tell me, guys, do you think it possible to feed the people through the skin? " Tamara V. took the spoon, poured honey on his hand, then rubbed his cheeks, forehead, lips. "You see guys, I fed his cheeks, lips and forehead, hands, and if I moved her honey with warm water, poured into the bath and then lay down in it for about 15 minutes, do you think I'd like to eat?" Winnie the Pooh, presented himself in the bath, and thought that he would drink all this water and then it would be ate. Guys were smiling. "You know, boys, those who come out of this bath will feel strong, light, calm and confident. Honey sucks the whole through the skin, let's say we stirred 2 tablespoons of honey, they all had in the body through the skin. Leather breathes well, soft and gentle, his eyes shining. True, the eyes, we will shine, and after taking the honey inside. go! " All the guys have taken from different containers on the tip of a spoon honey and put it on the language. Winnie the Pooh was surprised. He scored a spoonful Sweet Clover honey, all put in his mouth. Tamara V. smiled: "Under the rules of wine tasting, Misha, we take the honey on the tip of a spoon, put into the language and listen to him. Honey starts to absorb and we feel like it as it tickles or scratches at the sky, or knitting the back of the throat, and you breathe its perfume, and organism responds to you: I want! "This honey! Or says: honey as honey. Or says: I do not want such a honey!" And some guys it is written on his face, just like Nastya, for example. " Nastia closed her eyes and her face was written in fun. "And you, Misha, tell us a taste of honey. Winnie the Pooh was surprised again: "Sweet!" - He cried and licked his lips. "Wait, Misha, close your eyes, and feel as if you are in his guest, in his mouth, listen to yourself, what a taste of honey. Winnie the Pooh closed his eyes and imagined myself a little, licking big sweet cave: Language, wall. "Um, - said Winnie the Pooh - as if it salty." Then all the kids were surprised. Many were already in the autumn at the tasting, and knew what their favorite honey, so they just had tea with your favorite honey. But that honey was salty! "But that, - said the Owl - the plant from the ground absorbs the salt, maybe they come in honey, but we seldom feel, because the sweetness of honey is many times more." "That's right, - said Tamara V. - minerals, as they say - trace elements: iron, calcium, sodium, phosphorus, copper, and many, many others here in the body of 25, and honey in their 25 and our bodies with pleasure takes them out of honey and is well absorbed, but imagine if you were given a piece of iron and said: eat, now, is useful to you, what would have happened? " "I would have broken teeth - said Piglet. Suddenly Winnie the Pooh, who all this time sitting with eyes closed, said: "But he's a tart!" Guys laughed. "Remarkably, - exclaimed Tamara V., - honey and the truth must be acidic, because it contains acids, including ascorbic acid. Who knows what that is?" "Well, what we all know, it's vitamin" C "! Winnie the Pooh, opened his eyes: "First, he is also bitter, perhaps, the grass was bitter, and secondly, I even felt hot, he gave me hot!" "Taster Winnie the Pooh learned the bitter taste of honey! " "What, what it is, incredible, - said the owl, - bitter honey?" Let me try Sweet Clover honey! " "In all medah is bitterness, but it's not on the grass with which the bees collect honey, this is because honey is a vitamin K, it is bitter, folic acid, which helps the body absorb iron, too bitter." "But why do I iron! - Cried Anastasia, representing as it chews a piece of iron and folic acid, it dissolves. - Br-rr!" "We are with him breathe. - Tamara V. looked at the guys. - "Iron is a constituent of hemoglobin, which picks up oxygen in the lungs and spreads through the body. Few of iron in the body, and breathe as it is difficult and the skin is pale and weak, do not want to move." The boys looked at each other. "What do you think, in which honey is the most iron? Your options for answers!" His eyes stared at the guys jars. "And the color of iron? - Asked the Rabbit. "Good question, - said Tamara V., someone saw the iron in its pure form? OK too, reveal the secret, the darker the honey, the more iron in it." "Buckwheat! Taiga! "So if someone is below normal hemoglobin, a honey recommend?" "Buckwheat! Taiga! "Yes, such a person, when all enjoy a honey, he wants a dark honey, your body will tell him." "So, guys, honey 5 harmonious flavors: sweet, salty sour, bitter and hot - this is the classification of Oriental medicine, and even oriental medicine says of honey: sugar and enzymes are designed for the spleen and stomach (so good to digest food) , B-vitamins for the lungs, skin and hair (that was beautiful), mineral substances for the kidneys, bones (so that the teeth had no caries), and bone marrow, organic acids and vitamin C for liver and gall bladder (that worked well), vitamin K, folic acid and acetylcholine to the circulatory system and heart. Eat honey every day, and you will be well! Besides, honey is a means of first aid. Ate, is now gone. " But while they gathered, a dark cloud on the horizon, somehow moved, covered the sun, and it began to dribble out small droplets of rain. We had to cancel today's visit to the apiary.
