Summer is coming to an end and autumn is not long in coming. Now it is time to stay strong - also for your immune system. The cooler days not only mean less sunshine, but also the first colds.
We will show you the three best drinks that protect you from scratching your throat, coughing, sniffles and the like, are prepared without much effort and also taste really delicious.
Ginger Shot
Whether in soups, as tea or as a shot, ginger is currently the ultimate way to get through the autumn fit and healthy.
It not only boosts your metabolism and stimulates fat burning, but also supports your immune system on cold and rainy autumn days.
With iron, magnesium, sodium and calcium, ginger has an anti-inflammatory effect and fights the first signs of a cold.
In addition, the potassium, phosphorus and vitamin C contained in the spicy tuber makes your immune system more resistant and bacteria, viruses and co, have no chance of burdening you with coughs or sore throats.
In contrast, the highly concentrated ginger shots are short and above all painless, which can be easily mixed and stocked.
What you need for this: A few lemons, ginger and agave syrup - to replenish your vitamin reserves. During the preparation of ginger tea, many minerals are lost through the hot water, which is not the case with the shots.
The ginger juice is cold-pressed, which preserves all the important vitamins and thus can support your immune system with full strength.
Lemon water with honey and cinnamon
The juice of the lemon provides a lot of vitamin C, honey has an anti-inflammatory effect and cinnamon is said to have an antibacterial effect.
A drink made from all three ingredients stirred into water? An effective and liquid weapon for the rolling cold wave! It is best to drink the honey dissolved in lukewarm water with a little lemon juice in the morning and add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
The mixture not only strengthens your immune system, but also boosts your metabolism and levels your blood sugar.
A super effect: With the drink you not only show the cold shoulder to the cold, but also attacks of ravenous appetite.
The Golden Milk
It'll be warm and soothing here. The combination of hot milk, coconut oil, honey and the golden essence: turmeric
The drink owes not only its colour but also its special effect to him. The curcumin contained in it is said to have a purifying and invigorating effect on our body and also to be able to fight cancer cells. The substance also inhibits inflammation and stimulates digestion.
To enhance the effect of curcumin, you can also add pepper to the drink. The alkaloid piperine allows the healing effect of the exotic spice to unfold even stronger.
By the way: The Golden Milk has its origin in the Indian tradition of Ayuveda, in which turmeric has always been used to cure various diseases.
Have fun trying it out.
