6 Immunity Boosting Drinks You Have to Try Out!

Your body is an optimal environment for viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi to thrive. Your immune system fights these pathogens to keep infections at bay and maintain overall health.

However, if your diet is unhealthy, you lead a sedentary lifestyle, you barely sleep, and you are stressed out, your immune system can become weak. When this happens, you become more vulnerable to different diseases.

Adopting a healthy lifestyle can greatly help. Here are some immunity boosting drinks that are nutrient rich and nourish your body:

1-Apples, Carrots, And Orange Juice:

Brimming with vitamins A, B-6, and C, as well as folic acid and potassium, this juice is great for your overall health. Moreover, you may also notice skin and hair benefits when you drink it regularly. With the winter season right around the corner, this is the perfect drink to keep flu and cold away.

2-Ginger Beet Juice:

Ginger is highly anti-inflammatory and also has other medicinal benefits, while beets are great for detoxifying the body. You can also throw in apple and juice to make this drink more nourishing and delicious. You can either juice the ingredients or you can blend them with a little water to make a smoothie. The advantage of drinking a smoothie is that you will not miss out on the fiber content.

3-Honey Lemon Water:

Start your morning on a healthy note with honey lemon water in the morning. You can also add some grated ginger to make the drink even healthier. This seemingly simple drink which will hardly take 5 minutes to make is full of vitamin C, antioxidants, and many other immunity-boosting compounds. It will activate and detoxify your whole system and also improve your digestion.

4-Good Old Tea:

Next time when you make tea, add herbs such as cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger, fennel, and clove to get beneficial compounds that rejuvenate the cellular mitochondria, boost the immune cells, reduce inflammation, and fight viruses and bacteria in the body. Skip the sugar to keep your blood sugar levels in check. And lastly, do not add all these herbs at once! Adding one at a time is enough, otherwise, the taste would be too overwhelming.

5-Orange And Grapefruit Juice:

Vitamin C is an antioxidant and it protects your cells from damaging substances. A vitamin C deficiency will make it difficult for your body to heal wounds and fight infections. Most importantly, it can lead to a weaker immune system. That’s why citrus fruits are great for your health. Drink a glass of orange and grapefruit juice to fulfill your daily vitamin C requirements. The juice is also a good source of vitamin A, vitamin B6, zinc, and folic acid.

6-Matcha Green Tea:

Matcha is a type of green tea and it is nearly 10 times as powerful. The medicinal compounds and antioxidants in matcha tea can improve your defense against bacteria and virus. It is also anti-inflammatory, improves focus and energy, and balances hormones.
