It’s going to be punny, let me warn you beforehand. Read at your own risk.
We are stepping in into 2023 ! Yes! 👏 🎉 🙌
With a new year comes a Nu co-vid 19 variant 🥺
With a new month pops up a new variant in a random part of our planet. Along comes this life-sustaining need for maintaining and boosting your immunity.
What is better than having a natural resistance to viruses and infections?
We do need our natural immunity supporting, the boosters we have lined up for us.
Here are the top three affordable and natural immunity boosters for all vegan lovers and fitness freaks.
Let’s explore!
LEMON
I'LL EXPLAIN IT TO YOU IN LEYMON LANGUAGE 🤭
Let me tell you, research shows, inadequate vitamin C in your body results in anemia, joint pain, toothache, cough, and Asthma like disorders, to name a few.
Lemon is one of the easily available vitamin sources we have. Vitamin c in lemon can be eaten in different ways.
The best part of lemon as an immunity booster is, all parts of lemon can be devoured with absolutely no side effects.
From its pulp to peel. You can have a glass of lemonade on a hot summer day Or you can add the juice of half a lemon to a glass of warm water and honey to lose weight along with a boost to your immunity.
Great isn’t it.
There’s more to it.
Lemon peel can be made into a candy / snack as well. That too in just 4 easy steps. I’ll have another post having Lemon Peel Candy Recipe soon. Stay tuned
I tried it and it turned out great! Let me know about your experience of making this lemon peel candy.
The only thing you need to keep in mind while you buy lemons is to make sure they are bright yellow lemons. Avoid using green unripe lemons as they got a lesser quantity of juice for you to extract.
The next natural immunity booster is everyones favorite, I know.
MASALA CHAI / MASALA TEA / MASALA CHAI LATTE
LET ME SPILL SOME PIPING HOT MASALA TEA FOR YOU ALL 🤭
I did warn you.
Surprised??
I too was, when I got to know the immuniTEA boosting side of Masala Chai at first.
Being a content creator I do need a companion during my procrastination breaks. That is when I sit with this friend of mine.
Masala Chai.
It is tasty and quick to make.
Masala Chai / Tea has made it to every nook and corner of the planet. No wonder it made it to this list.
If you are a tea lover and relish this steamy hot drink on cold winter days, let me apprise you of how it shields us from infections.
Masala is in essence black pepper powder, dried ginger powder, basil/ tulsi powder, cinnamon / dalchini powder, cardamom/ elaichi powder, nutmeg/jaiphal powder, and cloves / laung powder all mixed together.
It is used to prepare an aromatic and delicious concoction, to which after boiling for about 2 minutes, tea leaves or tea powder is added. It is then brewed till you get a nice golden brown color.
I prefer it without milk with lemon juice added to it. Not many are a fan of black Masala Chai /Tea.
I understand.
You can add hot milk to it if you prefer milk tea.
For sweetening this tea I opt for our next ingredient on the list that is jaggery or palm sugar.
Oh! Wait! Did I just give away our next ingredient? Never mind.
How does this Masala tea help you boost your immuniTEA
All those spices and herbs, namely Black pepper powder, dried ginger powder, basil/ tulsi powder, cinnamon / dalchini powder, cardamom/ elaichi powder, nutmeg/jaiphal powder, and cloves / laung powder, have got antioxidants and immunity boosting properties. Due to which they have been adopted by Ayurveda for ages now.
Indian Ayurvedic scriptures tell us that these spices and herbs possess medicinal properties that serve us in supercharging our immunity and back us up in combating health problems of all kinds.
Hate reading blogs but love listening to them??
Make sure you enjoy your cup of hot Masala Chai / Tea with your loved ones and garner its infection-fighting qualities.
Strengthen your immuniTEA with Masala TEA 🤭
Moving on to the next food ingredient in the list, which I gave away already.
JAGGERY / GUDH
GUDH IS ALWAYS GOOD 🤭
As we all leave our homes for getting those paychecks at the end of the month into our accounts. We need our armor to shield us from germs and infections. This sweet, natural, and easy to carry immunity booster, sure enough, will see to it that you stay safe and have a fortified immune system that keeps infection at bay.
This natural sweetener can also add sweetness to our Masala Chai / Tea. Jaggery is known as a natural blood purifier and the dandiest easily available source of iron for humans. Most of us experience dehydration when we are suffering from seasonal flu or during cold winter days.
That is when this GUDHH friend of ours comes to our rescue 😉. It helps with water retention in our body.
The best part is, it can be blended well with milk, coconut, peanuts, and other liquids.
Jaggery is identified to keep our respiratory organs healthy. Which in my opinion is the need of the hour. With respiratory infections at peak, Jaggery works wonders in preventing and fighting off Asthma like disorders.
Allergies
Allergies are a major concern when it comes to respiratory or sinus related issues. And guess what? Jaggery is studied to have anti-allergic properties too.
Don’t forget to add this natural sweetener to your every day diet and wellness routine.
WARNING – On a serious note 🆘
Anything consumed in a moderate amount is good for us and helps us lead a healthy and fit life. It keeps our body safe and sound from health problems.
However, eating or overindulgence in any of these 3 items is by all odds not a good idea.
Especially with Jaggery, you have to keep it within a certain limit. It can increase your sugar levels if consumed in excess.
Excess vitamin C can cause digestive concerns like acid reflux along with iron overload.
Excess Masala Chai / Tea can acid reflux and skin problems like acne issues.
