Immunity-Punch Shots
Give your immune system an 8-part PUNCH with these immunity-punch shots this winter!
Boost Your Immunity with Nature’s Powerhouse Ingredients!
As the seasons change and pathogens lurk, it’s essential to arm yourself with a robust immune system.
Our Immunity-Punch Shots are packed with scientifically backed ingredients that *may* work synergistically to support your body’s natural defenses.
The Science Behind the Ingredients & why we chose to add each one:
Lemons: High in vitamin C, lemons stimulate the production of white blood cells, which fight off infections. Vitamin C also enhances the production of antibodies, helping to neutralize pathogens.
Grapefruit: Grapefruit contains a compound called naringenin, which has been shown to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties, helping to combat infections.
Ginger: Ginger’s active compound, gingerol, has potent anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation and promote immune function.
Turmeric: Curcumin, a polyphenol in turmeric, has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, supporting immune function and reducing oxidative stress.
Ceylon Cinnamon: Cinnamon’s active compound, cinnamaldehyde, has antimicrobial properties, helping to combat bacterial and fungal infections. Ceylon cinnamon is richer in antioxidants, which protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.
Cayenne Pepper: Capsaicin, the active compound in cayenne pepper, has anti-inflammatory properties and can help stimulate the immune system.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which has antimicrobial properties and can help support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
Raw Honey: Raw honey has antimicrobial properties and contains prebiotic fibers that support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
Tips and Tricks:
-Use organic ingredients to minimize pesticide exposure and maximize nutrient content.
-Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness.
-Consider adding other immune-boosting ingredients like garlic, echinacea, or elderberry to enhance the effects.
-Store the frozen shots in an airtight container to preserve the nutrients and flavor.
-Experiment with different combinations of ingredients to create unique flavor profiles.
Give your immune system a powerful boost with these delicious and vitamin-packed Immunity-Punch Shots!
Note: Feel free to adjust quantities of any ingredients to fit your personal needs and tastes.
Here are some additional evidence-based ways to boost your immune system:
Exercise regularly: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per day.
Walking is an EXCELLENT form of exercise
Get enough sleep: 7-9 hours of sleep per night helps regulate immune function.
Keep your gut healthy. Much of our immune system is housed in our gut, so if the gut isn’t healthy our immune system isn’t where it could be
Manage stress: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing.
Eat a balanced diet: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods like protein, fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
Join our Challenge Program:
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Include immune-boosting foods: Garlic, ginger, citrus fruits, berries, and fermented foods like kimchi and yogurt.
Ask your doctor about supplements: Vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, and probiotics may help support immune function.
Limit alcohol consumption: Excessive drinking can weaken immune function.
Get enough vitamin D: Maintain adequate vitamin D levels through sun exposure, supplements, or fortified foods.
Consider immunomodulatory herbs: Certain herbs like echinacea, ashwagandha, and ginseng may have immune-boosting properties.
Remember, a strong immune system is built over time through a combination of healthy lifestyle habits, a balanced diet, and good hygiene practices.
IMPORTANT:
While each of these ingredients are proven to assist with overall health, if you’re dealing with an illness or medical issues, ALWAYS check with your doctor before including new foods or herbs.
