It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.

Grapefruit is a good food that can dispel fire, replenish VC, beautify and lose weight. However, there are also contraindications to eating grapefruit. grapefruit cannot be eaten with certain drugs, especially statins that are most used by the elderly today, clopidogrel that dilutes blood viscosity, antifungal drugs that treat onychomycosis, and hyperlipidemia patients are also particularly concerned. If you are not careful, patients are prone to poisoning, muscle pain, and even kidney disease.

    1. The amount of grapefruit peel added determines the degree of bitterness of honey grapefruit tea. If you are afraid of bitterness, you can add less. The volume ratio of grapefruit peel to grapefruit pulp I added was 1:2. 2. Honey should not be added too early, because the nutrition of honey will be seriously lost after being boiled at high temperatures. 3. The freshly cooked honey grapefruit tea will be bitter. It needs to be put in a sealable container and put in the refrigerator for about a week. It will taste better when eaten at this time!
