Immune system – Food – juices – Celery …

Your immune system is usually built and strengthened naturally to fight off most common ailments. But with the recent pandemic, there’s always room to keep your respiratory system in even better shape. What’s more, it is advisable to steer clear of even a common cold or cough these days, to alleviate room for any doubt. One way to do it is through consuming fresh, cold-fighting juices to boost your immune system, which contains vital nutrients.

What is orange best known for? Its reserves of vitamin C. The only vitamin that the body does not produce on its own, vitamin C is a great remedy for protection against colds and coughs. Found in abundance in oranges (as well as other citrus fruits), this is ideal to perk you up during the flu season. Carrots are a great source of beta carotene, which is again a super nutrient to boost immunity. Combine the two and you’ve got one of the healthiest juice medleys ever.

Tomato juice makes for a great immunity building ingredient since it offers nutrients like lycopene, a phytochemical with antioxidant benefits, as well as vitamin C for a cold. Celery juice is also great for coughs and colds because it demolishes pathogens present in the body, and has over a dozen different antioxidants. It is literally a multivitamin in many ways.

At this point, you’ve probably heard about celery juice. It’s one of the latest health trends that has taken over social media, with everyone from your friends to bloggers to celebrities singing its praises. Celery juice — which is literally just juiced celery and some added water – is supposed to have a whole host of benefits. Medical Medium Anthony William took to Goop to call it a “miracle juice,” saying it can help with digestion, give energy, and help heal chronic illnesses. It’s hard not to wonder if this is mostly just hype – and to be curious about just how much celery juice affects your immune system.

Dr. Berookim explained why there’s so much hype around the juice, saying, “It is believed that the sodium cluster salt found in celery juice is responsible for killing all the pathogens, known as ‘the bad guys,’ flushing out the toxins, restoring gut and liver health and thereby boost ones immune system.

Celery has a type of fiber that can nourish the healthy bacteria in your gut. When beneficial gut bacteria thrive, it gives your immune system a boost, helping to offset certain diseases and illnesses.      The only difference between celery juice and celery is that the juice is lacking the fiber in the whole vegetable.” So, actually, you might be better off skipping the juicing part just eating celery stalks.   “Whole celery has anti-inflammatory properties that promote the health of the gut lining and may help regulate digestion,” she says. Plus, she says that celery has a high percentage of water and electrolytes, which helps you stay hydrated.     “Celery juice would provide nutrients like vitamin K, potassium, folate, and magnesium.”
