For many people, the onset of winter means a seemingly endless battle against cold and the flu. What some might not realise is that you can prepare your body for the sudden onslaught of viruses and airborne illnesses. Many will agree that the key is to ensure that you follow a healthy diet. Of course, given the demanding lifestyles we all lead, it’s not easy to get all the vitamins you need every day. Now, before you rush off to the local pharmacy to pick up a pack or two of vitamins, consider the benefits you can enjoy simply by enjoying fresh fruit juice instead! Not only is juice delicious, but it also helps hydrate your body and boost your immune system.
\nCarrot, Apple, and Pear<\/b>
\nCarrots are great for your immune system since they are rich in beta-carotene which the body converts into vitamin A. The addition of apples and pears helps to sweeten the deal while adding fibre and additional essential vitamins.
\nOrange and Grapefruit<\/b>
\nBoth of these fruits are rich in vitamin C which is known to help boost the immune system and fight off colds and similar ailments. Grapefruit is also known for aiding in weight loss so there’s no need to feel guilty when you enjoy this tasty treat!
\nTomatoes<\/b>
\nIf you’re not a fan of sweet juices, then perhaps some tomato juice is more up your alley. Yes, tomatoes are a fruit and they are also rich in vitamin C and A which are both helpful when it comes to staying healthy and keeping germs at bay.
\nStrawberries, Mangoes, and Lime<\/b>
\nFeel like something a bit more tropical? All three of these fruits are rich in Vitamin A and C. If you want to add wheat germ to the mix, you will enjoy some vitamin E to! While the lime and strawberries have acidic properties, the mangoes help neutralise this so that the juice is smooth and delicious.
\nKiwis and Strawberries<\/b>
\nKiwi and strawberry is a popular combination that you may have even noticed at the local supermarket. Both fruits are rich in vitamin C and, if you want to add something extra special, you can drop some fresh mint into the mix as well! Mint is known for containing vitamin A, magnesium, folate, and zinc. Folate and zinc are common deficiencies and if you lack magnesium, your immune system can become seriously compromised.
\nThe most important thing to remember is to experiment with various ingredients. Enjoy different juices every day so that your body receives a variety of nutrients. Don’t forget that fresh juice is the best juice! If you like your juice cold, you can add ice once you’re done or you can store your fruit in the fridge before you make your juice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
