Best Juice for Cold and Flu

Today we are sharing this recipe of the best juice for cold and flu. It has the nutrients your body needs to stimulate the immune system, help you feel better, and recover quickly.

Have a cold? A runny nose? A sore throat? Maybe even a touch of fever?

No need to panic.

Yes, in a perfect world we would NEVER get sick. But the reality is, that our “modern” day lifestyle often carries extra stress and pressure which could take a toll on our immune system and sometimes we might feel a bit under the weather, presented with a cold or perhaps even the flu.

Nikki and I are firm believers in prevention before treatment. Keeping your body clean and well nourished is a must if you want to reach vibrant health. However, this could be a topic on its own. Today we want to share with you to our go-to “medicine” that has the power to kick the cold & flu quickly so you can get on with life! 

Did you know…

….that fasting while you have a cold or flu can help speed up the healing process? When you feel under the weather, it’s a great practice to reduce your food consumption. This way your body can focus on healing, without having to spend extra energy on digesting food. However, at the same time, it’s important to supply your body with the right kind of nourishment so it can effectively defend against whatever is attacking your system. Drinking fresh vegetable and fruit juices is a great way to support the body and provide it with an abundance of vitamins and minerals that are easy to digest and absorb. 

Most of the times people neglect to brush, and this is one of the main reasons which cause oral and throat problems. As the manifestation of bacteria can not just harm your throat but and also it’ll weaken the immune system in the body which can cause severe health problems thus causing problems in your overall body. If you want to know the health of your oral hygiene and want to ensure that its health, then I would suggest you check out Smiles By Glerum and book an appointment with them. 

Now let’s look at this simple recipe we find very effective for healing the cold or flu naturally:

The wonderful nutritional benefits of this juice: 

Carrots, orange, apple and lemon are great sources of a natural form of vitamin C and will help strengthen the immune system. 

Carrots also contain a series of compounds that are antiseptic and antibacterial. These elements not only support our immune system, they also give us energy. Juice from carrots stimulates the white blood cells to once again fortify our immune system and by strengthening our immune system, we are better able to fight against external viruses.

Ginger helps fight inflammation and provides yet another boost to our immune system. It is a great source of antioxidants.

Cayenne Pepper is a perfect remedy for opening your nasal passages allowing you to get rid of both nasal and throat congestion. In addition to it, cayenne pepper reduces the chest pain and throat irritation and assists your body with the nutrient absorption.

We hope this juice provides you with relief and helps speed up your recovery. It’s extremely simple, easy to make, loaded with vitamins and minerals to support your body, and is our go-to healing remedy.
