Water

Water is a crucial part of a healthy diet and immune system. It carries oxygen to the cells and helps remove toxins from the body. It also provides energy and support for white blood cells, which fight disease.

You’ll often see food and drinks claiming to help boost immunity, including berries, mushrooms, green tea, probiotic yogurt, turmeric and others. However, it’s important to note that these claims are rarely supported by research.

Orange Juice

As we all know, orange juice is one of the most popular beverages in the world. It is high in Vitamin C and many other nutrients. A medium cup of OJ provides 100% of your daily recommended intake of vitamin C and also contains calcium, thiamine, folate, iron, potassium and a whole host of other vitamins and minerals.

Ginger Tea

Ginger has long been used to fight infections, treat colds and flus and help with seasonal allergies. Drinking a cup of lemon ginger tea can help warm your body, stimulate the immune system and relieve congestion.

Antioxidants found in ginger help combat free radicals that damage cells. This slows the oxidation process and helps prevent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, Type-2 diabetes and cancer.

Kvass

Kvass is a fermented drink that boosts the immune system with probiotic bacteria and increases vitamin levels. This savory tonic can be made with beets or rye bread and is full of nutrients including folate, thiamin, niacin, selenium and vitamin B12 (1).

Kvass can be made at home using rye bread without any preservatives or additives. The alcoholic content of kvass can vary depending on the fermentation time, but it’s typically a non-alcoholic beverage (0.5-1% alcohol).
