Everyone around me seems to have or is just getting over flu. I plan to do everything I can to keep it well away. So I’m topping up my immune system with lots of Vitamin C in this smoothie, plus the anti-bacterial qualities found in the ginger, some cinnamon for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, and I’m going to throw in a little honey, too. You can’t have too much of a good thing, or so they say.
Did you know that 80% of your immune system is in your gut? Well according to Shannon at mindbodygreen.com that is the case so, she says …
… you want to keep it healthy and balanced. You can do this by regularly adding ginger to your diet.
