It’s never a bad idea to have a go-to recipe that can help you naturally boost your immune system. Whether you are in the heart of flu season, fighting off a cold, or just want to increase immune function, you can never go wrong when you supply the body with foods that contain anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties.

Why Not Just Use Conventional Medicine?

Sometimes, conventional medication can do more harm than good. Additionally, over-the-counter cold and flu medications don’t always work for everyone. When you turn to natural ingredients that have immune-boosting properties, your body can process them more easily and use them quickly. Natural foods are always better than their synthetic counterparts.

How do you know which foods are the best for boosting immunity? Well, lucky for you, we’ve done the legwork so that you don’t have put on your detective cap and search the world for ingredients. And their benefits are all listed below.

Ginger

Ginger is a commonly used spice that adds unique flavor, but the health properties of the ginger rhizome have been extensively studied. It has a rich phytochemistry and has the potential to provide relief for a variety of disorders, including hypertension, vomiting, digestive troubles, mellitus, and certain cancers. The antioxidant compounds in ginger have been known to inhibit inflammatory cytokine production and reduce allergic reactions. Finally, antibacterial properties have been known to support immune health and soothe upset stomaches.

Lemon

Everyone knows that lemons are excellent sources of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that boosts immune health. Vitamin C enhances what are known as natural killer cells, which work to eliminate infection and provide antimicrobial support. Vitamin C assists lymphocytes, the body’s helper cells, and it works to maintain cell integrity.

Garlic

Garlic has been used in medicinal remedies for centuries, helping to reduce the risk of heart disease and enhance immune function. Garlic contains allin, which turns into allicin when it is crushed or chewed. Allicin is the active ingredient in garlic, but it converts to sulfur-containing compounds that are thought to be responsible for garlic’s medicinal properties. These compounds work to boost the disease-fighting response of white blood cells upon encountering viruses.

Immune-Boosting Tonic

You can take one or two teaspoons of this tonic per day as a general recommendation. If you are fighting a cold or flu, it is recommended to consume one teaspoon every three to four hours.

Ingredients:

• 2 small lemons, seeded and cut into chunks
• ½ cup fresh ginger root, peeled and cut into chunks
• ½ cup garlic cloves, peeled
• ½ cup organic raw honey

Instructions:

• Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until you have a thick paste.
• This paste contains both the juices and fibers of the ingredients, making this tonic even more beneficial for your gut microbiome.
• Store this in an airtight jar in the fridge. Consume with a few sips of water to wash it down.

Turmeric is one of the most medically potent spices in the world. Studies have shown that it can slow the growth of certain cancers, reduces inflammation, and works to boost brain health. It is also beneficial for when the sniffles strike. Keep in mind that this recipe has to sit for a few weeks to be ready for consumption, so we advise always having a batch on tap, ready to go.

Also, there are no measurements because you can make the batch as big or small as you like. For reference, use equal parts garlic, onion, ginger, turmeric, horseradish, and chili. Once you pulse that mixture and add it to a jar, fill the jar with apple cider vinegar and you’re all set.

If you don’t have raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar in your pantry already, you are missing out on some serious health benefits. Apple cider vinegar, commonly referred to as ACV, has been used as a natural remedy for a variety of health conditions. In addition to all the benefits of ACV, it is very affordable and readily available in most stores.

Before we continue, we have to mention that it is integral to purchase organic, raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar. Bragg makes an incredible product. Regular ACV that isn’t raw or unfiltered will not give you the same health benefits because it has been processed differently.

Why Is ACV So Special?

When you ingest ACV, healing begins to take place very quickly (depending on the condition you are treating) on a cellular level. Made from fermented apples, ACV contains healthy prebiotics, which are organisms that feed good bacteria (probiotics) that live in the digestive system. Keeping a healthy balance of good bacteria in the body with nourishing, plant-based foods is a great way to stay healthy. Consuming ACV won’t do this alone, but it can help reduce inflammation in the digestive system, joints, the blood, heart, and more.

Beginning in the gut and cells, inflammation can be caused by excess stress, poor sleep patterns, or more commonly an unhealthy diet that consists of processed ingredients, refined grains and sugars, meats, caffeine, alcohol, dairy products, and manmade fats. Typical symptoms of inflammation include joint pain, headaches, digestive problems, fatigue, acne, and more. To remedy these symptoms, people resort to over-the-counter medications that can actually contribute to more inflammation.

Remember: ACV cannot heal the body on its own. It can help reduce symptoms of inflammation, but it is more effective when you implement lifestyle changes along with its consumption.

The acetic acid in ACV gives it the tart taste, but this acid has an alkalizing effect when the body metabolizes it. ACV also contains polyphenolic compounds like epicatechin, quercetin, chlorogenic acid, and catechin. The alkaline pH level in ACV works to keep the blood from becoming too acidic, and acidity levels in American bodies are quite high. Consuming ACV for reduced inflammation can be done in the following ways.

ACV Tea

Add one or two tablespoons of raw, unfiltered ACV to one cup of warm water with a little freshly squeezed lemon juice. Drink this in the morning to promote detoxification.

ACV Salad Dressings

ACV is a great salad dressing ingredient because it provides that signature tang. Whisk it with olive oil and your favorite seasonings for a simply delicious dressing. For more dressings with ACV, click here.

ACV Morning Tonic

Add one or two teaspoons of ACV to one cup of filtered, room temperature water. Stir and enjoy. This works well when consumed in the morning or after a workout.

Cleansing Super Shot

You will create a one-ounce shot of ACV, water, lemon juice, a dash of cayenne pepper, and a little raw agave for sweetness. You may have to experiment with liquid ratios to get the flavor right.

It is best to use one or two of the above suggestions with a healthy, plant-based diet. ACV cannot be as effective if you are consuming foods that harm the body.
