Honey can cause colds. Nutritionist and nutrigenetics Andrey Zolotarev recommends not drinking drinks with honey in the winter.
The expert called this product “one of the most terrible” in winter. According to Zolotarev, this is due to its warming property, which provokes increased sweating, and as a result, a cold.
“It’s definitely better to drink hot tea in summer and room-temperature drinks in winter. You shouldn’t eat ice cream in the cold either, although some people think it’s great. Unfortunately, any temperature differences between food, a person, and the environment cause a rather active reaction from the body. This is not always useful,” says Zolotarev.
In this regard, the nutritionist advises excluding all foods with a warming effect from the diet.
