Immunity Juice Shots; Simple Fire Cider Cold Prevention

Looking for a natural way to kick a cold to the curb? This immunity juice is loaded with potent ingredients that can help support your health and strengthen your immune system. It’s delicious, easy to make, and perfect for those times when you need an extra boost.

A few nights ago, I was up all night listening to coughing and hacking from my husband next to me. I asked if he was getting sick, and of course he said no. That next morning, he revised his answer, telling me he indeed felt like he was getting a cold. I immediately whipped up a batch of these immunity shots knowing that he would give his body a boost on healing if he drank one before the work day for a few days. Unsurprisingly, his cold never caught on! One point for me!!!

Naturally, I did find myself up coughing a few nights later… annoying. So, I thought I would make a post while I make myself a batch for the next few days. Also, one point for illness!

Why This Immunity Juice is a Health Powerhouse:

• Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can help support digestion and immune function.
• Carrots Rich in beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A, supporting immune function, healthy skin, and vision.
• Oranges and lemons are rich in vitamin C, which is essential for a healthy immune system.
• Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
• Black pepper enhances the absorption of turmeric and adds a bit of heat.
• Cayenne pepper is known for boosting metabolism and improving circulation.
• Cinnamon and Nutmeg add a warm, comforting flavor and has antioxidant properties.
• Olive Oil makes the fat soluble vitamins in this recipe absorbable (like Vitamin A!)

As if these reasons aren’t enough to give it a try, I’ll give you one more: it gives me SOMETHING to do about it. For whatever reason, I have a hard time seeing an incoming problem or challenge and not being proactive about avoiding it. While I continue to offer this up to the Lord, surrendering my control to the true author of life, I still put my best effort in to keep my household happy and healthy. So, with my God-given gifts in the kitchen, an extra 7 minutes, and handful of fridge and pantry staples, I will do what I can to knock this cold away.
