Can I drink lemon honey passion fruit tea?
I feel like having a drink, but at home I only have lemon, honey, and passion fruit. I'd like to ask the doctor if it's okay to drink lemon honey passion fruit tea?
Doctor's answer (1)
Lemon honey passion fruit tea is generally safe to drink.
Lemons are rich in vitamin C, which helps boost immunity, promote iron absorption, and improve skin complexion; honey has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties and offers certain benefits to respiratory and digestive health; passion fruit is rich in various vitamins and minerals and helps improve overall physical well-being.
However, although honey is natural, it also contains a high amount of sugar. Diabetic patients or individuals needing to manage their blood sugar levels should consume it in moderation and avoid excessive intake. Lemons and passion fruit are both high in vitamin C but also acidic. Consumption by individuals with excess stomach acid, gastric ulcers, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may irritate the gastric mucosa and cause discomfort. Such individuals should consume cautiously or avoid altogether.
