Medical research indicates a clear link between high sugar consumption and increased systemic inflammation in the body. This inflammatory response can directly and negatively impact the delicate tissues of your throat, exacerbating irritation and pain.

A sore throat can make eating and swallowing difficult and unpleasant, but certain foods can offer relief and provide necessary nutrition during recovery. Beetroot, with its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, can be a beneficial addition to your diet during a throat infection, provided it is prepared correctly to avoid irritation.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), honey is recommended to soothe a sore throat and related cough for adults. However, a recent social media trend suggests combining raw tomato with honey, raising questions about its safety and efficacy for your throat.
