With all this sickness going around right now, (Corona and it’s allergy season) I thought it would be a great time to make an immune boosting drink. I got the core ingredients idea from @Earthyandy who I follow on Instagram. Then I tweaked it and, added some ingredients I wanted in there, that also adds a TON more health benefits!!
So the core ingredients are Turmeric, Ginger, and Lemon. All of which are absolutely LoAdEd with health benefits!! We’ll start with Turmeric which helps with inflammation, digestion, pain, asthma, allergies, tooth decay, boosts your immune system, and protects your skin!! WOW like WHAT A PUNCH!! Moving on to Ginger….it’s also good for pain, digestion, and your heart. Along with that it controls your blood sugar, decreases nausea, fights infection, protects against brain damage, and warms your body!!
Now for Lemon. It helps with indigestion, constipation, high blood pressure, arthritis, rheumatism, dandruff, nosebleeds, sunburn, wrinkles, blackheads, bee-stings, corns, fever, toothaches, and helps reduce weight!! Like WHAT EVEN?? Just those 3-ingredients alone pack the biggest punch against not only sickness, but way more!!
Then I preceded to add strawberries, Aloe Vera Gel (not the topical kind, the kind from a Aloe Vera leaf I got and cut open. DO NOT USE THE TOPICAL KIND THAT’S FOR SKIN ONLY!!) Maple Syrup with also has a lot of vitamins and minerals in it including Magnesium, and an orange!! Which as you know holds many benefits of it’s own.
So, not only is this recipe loaded with immune boosting ingredients, but they’re also ingredients that prevent a lot of other issues, and benefit you in so many other ways!! Also…it actually tastes good!! A Fruity and healthy drink is always a win in my book!!
