JAKARTA - Honey does have many benefits in it. Therefore, it is not surprising that many people consume honey for body health. However, behind the benefits, it turns out that there are taboos that should not be done after drinking honey. If done, it can be considered dangerous to health. Then what are the activities that should not be done after drinking honey?

Don't go to sleep right away

After drinking honey, you are advised not to go to sleep immediately. Honey has a fairly high-calorie content, which is 64 calories per tablespoon. Meanwhile, sugar contains only 49 calories per tablespoon. Therefore, do not consume honey before bed because the calories contained in it can accumulate in the long term and cause diabetes.

Don't eat foods high in sugar

Real honey contains magnesium, potassium, antioxidants, and other minerals that are beneficial for the body. However, if consumed in excess it can increase blood sugar levels.

For that, so that you feel the benefits of drinking honey, do not consume foods or drinks high in sugar. This can increase the risk of various diseases, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.

Don't drink hot honey

Consumption of heated honey can make the compounds in honey difficult to digest. This is because hot honey can produce toxins that make the body experience digestive problems.

In addition to not drinking honey with hot water, traditional medicine prohibits the consumption of ghee with honey or after. The combination of the two can produce toxins for the body.
