boost immunity this season

Tis' the season......
to catch a cold and be in bed more than you'd like to be.......by yourself!

There are a few easy ways that we can fight those pesky colds.

PREVENTION

With some simple ingredients you can steep your own immune boosting elixir.



GINGER
- strong antimicrobial
- antioxidant
- helps eliminate congestion
- natural antibiotic x 2
- may kill cold viruses

The list goes on and on........



LEMON

- vitamin C
-antioxidant
- promotes alkalinity within the body which wards off disease




APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

- created with apples that have a wide range of positive nutritional effects
- vinegar increases the efficiency of the immune system
- also great to drink for a sore throat


GREEN TEA

- contains EGCG which fights bacteria and prevents viruses from multiplying
- some recommend 4 cups per day


I like to steep a few chunks of ginger and lemon slices with the tea and add as much vinegar as you can handle!

or......

take a shot of ACV and enjoy the tea.

Wishing you a healthy season.

xoxo
