Check out the effects and contraindications of grapefruit tea

I believe many people have drunk grapefruit tea. In fact, it not only tastes good, but also has relatively high health benefits. It can effectively help us beautify our skin, moisten our lungs and relieve coughs. It also has a good effect on preventing colds and aiding digestion. However, it is not suitable for people with spleen deficiency and weak body to drink too much.

1. Although honey and grapefruit have high nutritional value, not everyone can eat them. For example, people with weak body, spleen deficiency and diarrhea should not eat grapefruit. Eating too much can easily lead to diarrhea. So naturally, people with weak temper cannot drink honey grapefruit tea.

2. Grapefruit tea contains a high amount of sugar, so people with metabolic syndrome such as diabetes should not take too much.

3. In addition, there is a saying that has been circulating on the Internet: "If a patient with hyperlipidemia takes a tablet of lovastatin (also known as melipridone) with a glass of grapefruit juice, the result is equivalent to the lipid-lowering effect of taking 12 to 15 tablets of lovastatin with a glass of water. The patient will experience muscle pain and even kidney disease." This statement is correct. This is mainly because a flavonoid in grapefruit juice can inhibit drug-metabolizing enzymes, leading to slower drug metabolism and increased drug concentration in the blood. Therefore, it is best not to take medicine with grapefruit tea.

4. Finally, when making honey grapefruit tea, please be careful not to use boiling water above 40°. Too high water temperature will destroy the nutritional components of honey, thus removing the nutritional benefits of honey grapefruit tea. Therefore, you must master the method when brewing to achieve the best results.

Pomelo itself is rich in nutrients, and the calcium and vitamins it contains far exceed those of other fruits. It contains three times the amount of vitamin C as lemons and oranges, and 10 times more calcium than apples, pears, bananas and other fruits. In addition, grapefruit is rich in natural citric acid and various inorganic salts, which not only help the functions of the liver, stomach, lungs, etc., but also have the effects of clearing away heat and fire, relieving cough and reducing phlegm. The addition of natural honey further increases the trace elements needed by the human body.
