Best drinks for Immune system health when sick

by Unathi Balele

When illness strikes, it’s essential to give your body the best possible chance to heal and recover. One powerful way to support your immune system is through the consumption of immunity-boosting beverages.

These natural drinks are packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and other essential nutrients that can help bring back your body back to health.

Let us explore some of the most effective and delicious beverages that can aid in your recovery journey by Healthline:

Orange and other citrus juices 

This zesty citrus blast from Happy Foods Tube provides an ample dose of your daily advised vitamin C intake.

Vitamin C possesses antioxidants that shield your cells from harmful substances.

Insufficient vitamin C can result in slower wound healing, a weakened immune system, and reduced ability to combat infections.

As of now, there is no proof that taking oral vitamin C is effective in preventing the spread of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) or treating COVID-19.

Nonetheless, studies suggest that administering vitamin C intravenously (IV) shows potential as a treatment for COVID-19.

Tomato juice

The most reliable method to ensure your tomato juice is both fresh and free from excessive additives is to prepare it at home. Simply Recipes offers an excellent recipe that utilises only a handful of ingredients.

What’s even better? You won’t need a juicer or blender, though you’ll want to filter out any remaining bits and pieces using a sieve.

Tomatoes are a good source of vitamin B-9, also known as folate, which aids in reducing the risk of infections. They also contain moderate levels of magnesium, known for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Turmeric Milk

Turmeric, with its powerful anti-inflammatory compound curcumin, can help alleviate symptoms of illness. Combined with warm milk, it creates a soothing and immune-boosting elixir.
