During the winter time we are often besieged by a variety of different colds and sicknesses. Many people will turn to flu shots, medication, antibiotics or any other pharmaceutical concoction to stave off illness. However, the wintertime season has a bevy of natural options which are designed to help bolster your immune system.
For example, two of the largest wintertime foods are citrus and yams/root vegetables. As most people know citrus is incredibly high vitamin C and may even help to alkaline the system despite being of an acidic nature. One of the common home-style recipes for when you’re sick is hot water with half a squeezed organic lemon, some squeezed ginger juice, and some fresh raw honey. The ginger, lemon, and honey all work together synergistically to assist your immune system while flushing out toxins.
Yams are great food for the winter time because of their high levels of vitamin A and complex carbohydrates which help to sustain energy. Eating squashes and yams will help to protect your skin against the harsh winter cold and boost your eyesight.
