Immune-Boosting Drinks That May Help Strengthen The Immune System
Illness abounds. What can we do about it? How can we prevent them or shorten their duration?
Strengthening the immune system is one of the best things we can do. Get plenty of rest, eat balanced meals, get plenty of exercise, wash hands often, and get some fresh air – these are just some of the tips we need to follow to keep our body healthy and protect our family.
In addition to this, we can try some do-it-yourself immune boosting drinks to help keep our immune system healthy and strong.
Ginger And Turmeric Immune Booster
Ingredients
- 1/4 inch organic fresh ginger root, grated
- 1/2 tsp organic apple cider vinegar (with the "mother")
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 medium lemon
- small pinch (1/8 tsp) turmeric
- tiny pinch (1/16 tap) black pepper
- 2-3 tsp raw manuka honey, or to taste
Preparation
Ginger Tea Tonic
Chop up about an inch thick of fresh, peeled ginger. Let the ginger steep in a cup of warm to hot (not boiling) filtered water for 2 minutes. Squeeze in the juice from half of a lemon (Vitamin C!) and add in a tablespoon of raw, unfiltered (with the ‘mother’) Apple Cider Vinegar (also known to rid the body of nasty bugs). Sweeten (if needed) with raw honey and splash in a dash of Cayenne Pepper (increases blood circulation!). Consume a cup of this every morning.
Garlic And Honey On The Go
Peel and separate a clove of garlic and then cut, mince, chop, press or slice it into smaller pieces. Let the garlic rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the enzymes to activate. Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of raw honey onto a spoon and sprinkle the entire chopped up clove of garlic onto the honey spoon. Consume and swallow it. Repeat this every 2-3 hour throughout the day.
