Why You Should Never Mix Honey With Lemon
If you want your vitamin C too, not just the glucose and fructose.
Do you drink your tea with honey and lemon? Is it because you want the vitamin C but can't stand the sour taste?
If so, you should know that sugars inhibit vitamin C.
When combining the two, your body will prioritize the absorption of glucose and fructose from the honey. You're getting way less vitamin C than you think.
Wtf, you're wondering?
Yes, we all know that honey has immune-boosting properties. And so does vitamin C.
Honey and lemon are such a common combination. Still, that doesn't mean it's the right combination.
If you're mixing them up purely for the taste, so be it. But if you're mixing them in the hopes you'll be doubling on the benefits, know that you're merely annihilating the vitamin C.
If you want to supplement your body with this essential vitamin, you should:
- Serve your vitamin C without anything sweet.
- Pay attention to your sugar intake throughout the whole day.
