3 Immunity-Boosting Beverages to Drink When You’re Sick

 

                                     



Supporting your immune system

Your immune system is constantly active, figuring out which cells belong to your body and which don’t. This means it needs a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals to keep its energy up and going.

The following recipes are packed with essential nutrients for everyday health or for fighting off viruses such as the cold or flu.

Learn which immunity-enhancing nutrients each juice, smoothie, or seed milk has so you can start your mornings off with a refreshing boost to your body’s natural defenses.

1. Orange, grapefruit, and other citrus




Vitamin C has antioxidant properties, which protect your cells from substances that damage the body.

A vitamin C deficiency can lead to delayed wound healing, an impaired immune response, and the inability to properly fight infections.

There’s currently no evidence that oral vitamin C is effective in preventing transmission of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) or treating the disease it causes, COVID-19.

However, research has shown promise for intravenous (IV) infusion of vitamin C as a COVID-19 treatment.

More clinical trials are in the works for treatment, not prevention, using IV infusion, not oral therapy.

However, if you have a cold, high doses of vitamin C might result in less severe symptoms and a quicker recovery. For adults, the tolerable upper limit is 2,000 milligrams (mg) a day.

2. Green apple, carrot, and orange

                                                           



Carrots, apples, and oranges are a winning combination for helping your body protect itself and fight
off infections.

The apples and oranges give you your vitamin C.

Vitamin A, which is also critical to a healthy immune system, is present in carrots in the form of the antioxidant beta carotene.

The carrots also contain vitamin B-6, which plays an important role in immune cell proliferation and antibody production.

3. Beet, carrot, ginger, and apple

              


Inflammation is often an immune response to infections originating from viruses or bacteria. Cold or flu symptoms include a runny nose, coughs, and body aches.

People who have rheumatoid arthritis may find this juice especially beneficial, as ginger has anti-inflammatory effects.
