Self-care needs no season, but every season needs a special kind of self-care. The amount of water consumed due to the scorching heat of summer can’t be the same as you drink every day during the chilly winters. It’s okay to admit the “Stay Hydrated” mantra gets a teensy bit jerky- that happens to all of us. That’s why our parents keep on nagging us with a glass of water that remains standing in a corner of the windowsill.
Even if we relish the fall, the brisk weather and breezy gusts routinely make an impact on our health, which is when the necessity for a healthy immune system comes to mind. Thus, if you would like to prepare for the cold winters by naturally fending off the common cold, cough, and flu, by boosting immunity and strengthening resistance, then we have some easy yet delicious immunity system booster detox drinks that you can brew at home and have whenever you desire.

The drink is best consumed once a day before going to bed.

Green Smoothie
Smoothies are one of the most delightful ways to improve the immune system. These are also the easiest immunity-boosting recipes that can be prepared at home.

ABC Juice
The ultimate detox juice is here!
Juice made from apples, beets, and carrots is regarded as a health-improving wonder drink. Apple, carrot, and beet are all incredibly nutritious for our bodies on their own, but when combined in a drink, they can work miracles. The immunity booster drink is packed with all the vitamins to boost the immune system.
Ingredients
- 1 unpeeled apple
- 1 beet, previously soaked in water
- 1 carrot
- Ginger
- Lemon, honey
Method
1. Chop the veggies in chunks so they blend quickly.
2. Add little water to the blender.
3. Keep apples (the softest of the three) at the base, then carrot, and finally beet. This way, the apples would blend quickly and form enough liquid for the beet to blend easily.
4. Blend them for about a minute until smooth. Then transfer to a coarse strainer with a bowl underneath.
5. Press the juice with a spatula. The pressing of juice from the strainer will take some time as carrots and beet are fibrous veggies. You can also do this with a cheesecloth. If you want some fiber, add a little pulp to the juice.
6. Chill the ABC juice with some ice in a cup, and flavor with some lemon and honey.
