Everyone around me seems to be getting a cold or a flu lately (mind you, I had two since winter started so I’m not one to complain). Its something you can’t really avoid, its everywhere; public transport, work, school you name it.
You can lock yourself up and not go outside until spring, but that isn’t very practical is it?
That is why I want to do everything I can to help boost my immune system.
One of the things I have started doing is making a juice everyday. I am quite fussy, if I don’t like something I can’t force myself to eat/drink it no matter how good it is for me.
This juice is not only packed full of vitamin C but it also tastes amazing. And its so easy to make.
You only need:
An orange
Two apples
Two carrots
A juicer.
Just wash the apples and carrots, peel the orange, but everything in the juicer and Voilà !
But what makes this juice so good?
We all now oranges are packed full of vitamin C, but did you also know they protect from free radical damage and they contain antioxidants? It helps your skin to look younger for longer. Oranges are also a great source of fiber.
Apples are quite similar to oranges in that they also contain vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber.
Carrots on the other hand are an amazing source of Vitamin A. This vitamin prevents premature wrinkling, acne, dry skin, pigmentation, blemishes and uneven skin tone.
To summarize, this juice not only is amazing at keeping colds at bay but it also works wonders on your skin and taste lovely as well.
Same here! :) I usually at ginger at mine to give it a kick ;)

DeleteI just finished a home-made juice of cucumber, oranges, apples, ginger and lemon. Tasty!! I love making my own juices. Very cheap and healthy. I've all the ingredients mentioned here. Will try this. Thanks for sharing and can't wait for winter to be over with all this cold wind/bugs. Lol!

Let me know if you give it a try
DeleteThis is a great recipe! I always put a little ginger in my juice to boost my immune system, you should try it. When I have a cold, I use an old recipe of my grandmother, warm water, honey and lemon, it's the best! x

DeleteI'm not big on juice but this combo sounds absolutely delicious! And tell me about it about the cold and flu...three weeks or so ago, everyone in my home came down with stomach flu and this morning my little one is down with a cold again. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
I'm so sorry to hear about that, it just seems like everyone is coming down with something all of a sudden. I hope your little one gets better soon!
DeleteThanks for sharing!! I usually have a ginger tea to boost my immune system, it seems to help a lot to prevent a cold.

I've heard that ginger has a lot of health benefits, I'm not its biggest fan but I will definitely give it a try!
DeleteYou should add a little bit of ginger and turmeric. They are both great for the immune system!

DeleteThis looks amazing! I'll definitely have to try the recipe out, it's only February but I've been sick 2 times this year which is surprising because I never get sick. I definitely need something that can boost my immune system

The weather seems to be crazy at the moment causing everyone to get sick, i'm so ready for spring now!
DeleteSo many people at work have been ill recently so I think I need to get making myself some of this juice as I definitely don't want to get it. It sounds so yummy too and would help me get in my 5 a day! x
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I think! It not only helps boost your immune system but it also helps you reach your five a day and to be honest I'm not always the best with that.
DeleteThis looks so good and exactly what I need at the moment x

I just try to eat healthy, lots of fruit and vegetables. But I fear even the best nutrition and juice won't be able to prevent catching the flu completely.

I love juices for a good immune boost, and this one sounds really yummy. I feel like everyone around me is sick too! Guess it's just that time of year haha.
