Now the cold weather has arrived and, along with it, infections, it’s time to look after ourselves more than ever to stop ourselves from getting ill. That’s why it’s important to wrap up warm, stay well hydrated, do regular exercise and eat healthily, providing all of the nutrients needed to ensure our immune system can fight and prevent infections.
Vitamin C is one of those essential active ingredients that boosts the defences thanks to its antioxidant properties.
In this article, we suggest a fun and different recipe using our Vitamin C Elements to boost the immune system at this time of year.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Orange
- 1 Carrot
- 1 Slice Fresh Ginger
- 2 Vitamin C Elements Capsules
STEPS
- Peel and cut the orange, carrot and ginger into small pieces.
- Add all the ingredients to a blender jug.
- Open the 2 Vitamin C Elements Capsules and pour the contents into the blender jug.
- Blend until you get a homogeneous mixture, serve and voilà!
The combination of all of these ingredients gives us the nutrients required to achieve a boosting effect on the immune system, as well as hydrating the body.
ORANGE
This fruit provides us with antioxidant vitamins like vitamin C, which has the ability to stimulate the production of white blood cells, which are key to fighting infections and fibre, which improves digestion and, therefore, the absorption of nutrients.
CARROT
It is rich in beta-carotenes, which turns into vitamin A and is essential for the functioning of the immune system and helps to maintain the skin and the mucous membrane, which act as a barrier against infections.
GINGER
This rhizome contains bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, reducing inflammation and preventing infections.
VITAMIN C ELEMENTS
The vitamin C from our Vitamin C Elements comes from dog rose or rosehip, guaranteeing as much as possible of this natural vitamin is present, in addition to ascorbic acid and bioflavonoids which improve its absorption. With a dose of 2 capsules, you get 1000mg of vitamin C, ensuring a higher antioxidant power and protection for the body against infections.
