We are in the thick of cold and flu season, people! For this reason it is integral to enhance immune function, which is why we are providing you with some nutrient-dense recipes in this article. The unfortunate reality is that there is no magic pill or silver bullet that magically transforms the immune system into a forcefield that protects the body from everything. And the sad reality is that most immune-boosting recommendations seem boring. Hopefully, the recipes in this article are anything but boring to your taste buds!

Why Is The Immune System So Important?

In brief, the immune system protects the body from harmful substances, including germs, bacteria, fungi, and pathogens. As long as it is running smoothly, you don’t even notice the immune system’s existence. If it stops working properly, either because of aggressive germs or general weakness, you will get sick. Some germs may only make you ill the first time you encounter them, while others may cause sickness time and again. When the immune system is working properly, it:

• Activates and mobilizes to neutralize germs that can harm the body
• Ends the attack once the threat has been taken care of
• Distinguishes between cells that are yours and those that do not belong in the body
• Learns about germs after you have come in contact with them, and develops antibodies against them
• Sends out those antibodies to destroy germs that attempt to enter the body in the future

You can improve sleep hygiene, exercise regularly, spend time outside, and eat healthy foods to maintain healthy immune function. Rather than just giving you a list of foods to eat, we are providing you with tasty recipes that may contribute to more efficient immune function.

Shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots….of green juice. These green juice shots are essentially concentrated shots of nutritious leafy greens, vegetables, and fruits. Despite what you may think, they do not taste like your lawn. Yes, they contain kale, spinach, and celery, but the apples, ginger, and limes impart a zesty flavor with notes of spice and sweetness. Think of these shots as miniature elixirs that help boost energy and immune function! Allow us to highlight some of the benefits of drinking green juice shots below:

• Supports immune function: the high levels of vitamins C & E, in addition to antioxidants and minerals, work to enhance immune function. Both the spinach and kale contain high levels of vitamins C & K, folate, and beta-carotene, all of which help the body fight infections.
• Promotes healthy skin and hair: The abundance of antioxidant compounds in the green juice shots may help nourish and protect skin and hair. This works to enhance appearance and vitality.
• May reduce inflammation: The anti-inflammatory compounds present in kale, ginger, limes, and spinach may aid inflammation reduction. By reducing inflammatory markers in the body, you can help reduce the risk of developing arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease.

Green juices and green smoothies have one primary nutrient in common: chlorophyll. This nutrient, as you may remember from chemistry class, plays an important role in making plants green and healthy. It is naturally rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and therapeutic properties that can improve overall health. Chlorophyll actually has a very similar molecular structure to the hemoglobin that is in human blood. The primary difference is that hemoglobin contains iron and chlorophyll contains magnesium. That being said, chlorophyll may have the ability to improve the quality of red blood cells.

That was a lot to take in for an intro to a green juice! Well, green juices and smoothies are nothing short of excellent for your cells, tissues, and organs. This recipe, in particular, has an array of ingredients with powerful flavors. The apple and cucumber provide some sweetness, which balances the assertive ginger, fennel, and kale. That said, this is definitely a juice for the familiar green juice drinker, the green juice aficionado if you will. It has powerful flavor that can be a little bitter for someone just getting into juicing.

Green juice may help to reduce inflammation because greens have natural anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is a normal response when the immune system is triggered, but chronic inflammation presents more serious problems. Excess inflammation in the body can increase the risk of heart disease, cancer, and allergies. A green juice may also contribute to enhanced immune function. Many nutrient-dense super foods that boost immunity include leafy greens, pineapple, ginger, lemon, and celery. Additionally, drinking green juice may contribute to clearer skin. As stated earlier, chlorophyll helps to nourish cells, and the other antioxidants in this green juice also promote clearer complexion.

Who doesn’t love a tasty green juice? Green juices are filled with essential vitamins and minerals that the body can easily process because they are pre-digested, meaning the body doesn’t have to break down the food. The beautiful thing about National Green Juice Day is that you don’t have to be a hardcore green juice lover to enjoy a healthy, green elixir. Each green juice has a different flavor profile, some being sweeter and some just tasting like liquid salad.

If you commit to drinking one green juice or green smoothie per day, you are taking a step in a healthier direction. People who decide to reform their diets as New Year’s resolutions often go a little too hard and burn out by the end of January. It is better to start simple and make healthier changes day by day, which is why we are encouraging you to prepare one green juice or smoothie every day. This isn’t too much to ask, especially if you have recently considered abandoning your New Year’s diet.

When it comes to buying green juices, though, it is important to do a little research. Any juice company can produce a green juice, but the quality and ingredients is where some companies set themselves above the rest. For instance, Naked Juice adds an incredible amount of sugar to their juices and they are typically pasteurized, meaning you aren’t getting all the healthy benefits you think you are. This is why we always encourage you to make fresh juices.

Some juice bars will make fresh juices and then bottle them, meaning they have a very limited shelf life. Additionally, those juice places typically use reusable, glass juice bottles to limit environmental waste. Even though these places sell raw juices, we like making green juices at home, so that we know exactly what goes into them.

How will you celebrate National Green Juice Day? If you have a juicer, try making one of the following recipes and let us know what you think.
