If You’re Sick, These Drinks May Help You Feel Better

It’s important to keep your immune system healthy all the time, but especially when you’re feeling a little under the weather.

Experts with Healthline say these drinks are full of nutrients that may help boost your immune system. We bet they are correct, so why not give it a go?

First, try a citrus explosion with orange, grapefruit and any other citrus fruit. Vitamin C can strengthen your immune system and can help fight off infection. If you have a cold, Vitamin C is great for suppressing those symptoms, which can lead to a faster recovery.

Next, try mixing beet, carrot, ginger and apple together. Not only can this drink help boost your immune system, but it may also decrease inflammatory symptoms. Inflammation is often an immune response to infections from viruses or bacteria. Ginger is a great ingredient that has anti-inflammatory effects. This drink may even be helpful for those with rheumatoid arthritis.

Finally, mixing watermelon and mint together is great if you have sore muscles — which is a symptom of the flu or the common cold.
