Immune Boosting Drinks

Now that I know all about immune boosting foods, I decided to look into what type of great immune boosting drinks are out there. Any drink that contains the same ingredients we look for in foods (vitamin C, vitamin B, Zinc, Omega-3 fatty acids, etc.) is likely to have good effects on the immune system. You can find normal fruit juices easily in grocery stores. Look for strawberry, guava, kiwi, strawberry, and orange juices. These juices will strengthen immune system functions but be careful of high sugar content and unhealthy additives. In many cases it may be healthier to just eat the fruit, rather than drink hundreds of empty calories in sugary fruit drinks. There are also a lot of great supplemental drinks on the market that are made specifically as immune boosters. Sun Dew makes a great immune booster that contains zinc, EpiCor, antioxidant fruits, and many other great things. I've been drinking it daily to see if I can avoid catching a flu this season. So far it seems to be working!
