Need a Boost?

---

  Our immune system is like a strong wall that protects us from foreign pathogens. Developing a strong immune system is indeed a long-term project, but you can always give it a boost by including healthy herbs and concotions in your diet. 

Anytime anyone in our family feels under the weather, I try to avoid medication if there’s another alternative to getting back to health. Whenever possible, I try to stay healthy and well through the foods we eat instead of getting sick and trying to take medicine afterwards.

One of my go-to’s are these Ginger Lemon Turmeric Immune Boosting Shots. I’m a big fan of making them all cold and flu season to avoid getting sick, but they’re especially helpful with upset stomachs, inflammation, and more when you’re already feeling icky.

Immunity Shot Ingredients

Here’s how each of the ingredients in this Immunity Shot nourishes, fuels, and boosts your body in the following ways:

Lemon: Lemon is high in Vitamin C and is known to have antiviral and antibacterial properties.

Orange: Orange is high in vitamin C and beta-cryptoxanthin, a carotenoid that your body converts to vitamin A.

Ginger contains gingerol, which can help reduce the risk of infection and inhibit the growth of a variety of bacteria.

Turmeric: Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is known to be a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.

Black pepper: Adding a pinch of black pepper to your turmeric increases the absorption of curcumin by nearly 2000%!

What Is Turmeric?

This plant grows in India, Asia, and Central America, and it is related to ginger. It looks orangey and yellow like ginger root.

The turmeric root can be used to make juices, such as this turmeric shot recipe, or powdered for dried spices.

The yellow compound curcumin found in turmeric has antioxidative properties and may reduce inflammation.

---

Why Add Black Pepper?

It is suggested that if you use turmeric for its health benefits, you also use black pepper. This is due to the presence of piperine in black pepper, which may increases the absorption of curcumin while also providing its own benefits like relieving nausea, headaches and poor digestion.

^{How to Drink It}

Energy shots can be quite strong, so it is best to drink them like shots! Simply tilt the cup back and swallow it. I like to serve it into small shot glasses as you can see in the picture.

You can always drink this ginger and turmeric shot like a turmeric juice. It all depends on your preference! I suggest trying it as a shot first before pouring a huge glass of it.
