Immunity Boosting Blend
By Grace O
Yogurt has probiotics that keep the good bacteria in your intestines flourishing. This is important because the intestinal tract is a main component of your body's immune system. 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. The 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 anti-microbial wonders. Get The Recipe!
