Try These Wellness Drinks To Fight Flu Season

Don’t let flu season get the best of you.
Try These Wellness Drinks To Fight Flu Season
Happy pregnant young Asian woman relaxing after working out at home while sipping a glass of freshly produced healthy green juice. Optimal health and fitness during pregnancy
By Amber Little · Updated May 1, 2024

Wellness Drinks are the way to build a strong immune system, and juicing experts are letting us know how to stay healthy this season. With the seasons changing constantly, flu season is among us. However, a few celebrities and juicing experts have taken to social media to let us know how to keep our bodies the healthiest they can be.

Firstly, eating our colors is essential to sustaining an alkaline diet, which will give you the superpower to stay flu-free this winter. Red and Green foods contain antioxidants that have anticancer benefits and fight inflammation. Blue and Purple foods provide our body with anti-aging effects and decrease the toxins that stress creates.

Holistic wellness approaches are now prominent in mainstream media as public figures are sharing their rituals for positive health techniques. “I wake up and drink warm lemon water with ginger and turmeric for inflammation every morning,” Normani told GU in 2021. “I feel good at the top of my day knowing that I’m nourishing my body and it just tastes great to me.”

Check out this curated list of wellness drinks you can partake in as a daily juicing journey to help fight off any flu systems or other health concerns.

Anti-Inflammatory Drinks

Nutritionist Amanda Rocchio gave us a sweet drink that is the ideal replacement for morning tea.

  • 4 cups of water
  • 2 bags of green tea
  • Lemon
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp ginger
  • Pinch of cinnamon 
  • Slices of oranges and lemon

GINGER SHOTS ✨🍋 Let’s save money AND make immune boosting shots!! These babies are sold at cafes for $7+ PER shot… so let’s spend the money on a bunch of produce to make more than a weeks worth of shots instead. Let’s gooooo !!! Ingredients: 2 oranges 2 lemons 100g fresh ginger (more or less depending on how strong you want it to be) 1/2 tsp ground turmeric 1/8 tsp black pepper 2 cups water * (OR coconut water if you want to add natural sweetness) Optional: 1-2 tbsp liquid sweetener of choice Method: 1. Peel your oranges and lemon and cut into smaller wedges. 2. Wash your ginger well and cut into chunks. 3. Add all of the ingredients into your blender. Pop the lid on and blend on high until smooth. 4. Pour through a sieve and into a large bowl. Use a spoon to help filter the juice through. Alternately you can also strain it through cheesecloth/a nut milk bag instead for a smoother juice. 5. Place the funnel on top of your glasses and carefully pour in the juice. Repeat until you’ve used it all up. Pop the lid on all of them and place into the fridge to chill. Enjoy! 👏 NOTE: They will last in the fridge up to 1 week, but ideally are best consumed within 3-5 days. You can also freeze them and thaw out as needed so they last longer (just don’t fill up the bottles too high up). #vegan #plantbased #easyrecipe #healthyrecipe #ginger #gingershot #juice #juicerecipe #lemon #health #juicing #healthyfood #gingerlemonshot #wellnessshot #juiceshot #gingerjuice

Juicing can save your life in so many ways. Our body is a temple, and it is up to us to give it the vital ingredients needed to sustain our body to work at optimal condition. Juicing does not have to consist of drink concoctions that will make us gag- it can be sweet and delightful.
