Strawberries are very high in vitamin C, a known immunity booster. Limes also have vitamin C and the acid from their juice helps the stomach break down food. Certain flavanoids in limes help detox the body and act as anti-bacterial agents. In some countries limes are used as a natural antibiotic. Carrot juice (or orange juice) provides beta-carotene, which also helps boost immunity. If your strawberries aren't particularly sweet, add a teaspoon or two of honey-another of nature's antimicrobial wonders.
