As the weather gets colder, include warming foods.  Juice ginger!  Ginger root is not only warming, it’s loaded with zinc to build up the immune system.  It  is also an anti-inflammatory.  Juice it up with carrot, beet, and lemon.  It’s a delicious blend of juices to drive back winter colds and flu.

If you get a cold, go on a short vegetable juice fast for one or two days.  This will accelerate your recovery process.  Just drinking freshly made juices, lots of water, and herbal tea gives your body a chance to rest from the activity of digesting food and a enables it to concentrate on fighting the infection.  It also supports the body at the cellular level  to speed up the healing process. 

For more information on juice therapy for colds and flu, see The Juice Lady’s Guide to Juicing for Health.  If you don’t have a good juicer, give me a call.  I have the Juiceman Pro available.

Best of health,
