Mel's Immune Boosting Elixir
Oceanside was struck with a number of flus and colds this Christmas. Some holistic ways of keeping your immune system strong is to eat a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, have a daily dose of fermented foods or probiotics, and sip on my immune boosting elixir! This elixir aids digestion, encourages circulation and fights cold and flu causing microorganisms, all thanks to garlic!
Did You Know ?
- Garlic contains a compound called allicin that kills microorganisms responsible for some of the most rarest and common infections, including the common cold.
- Garlic helps regulate blood sugar levels and controls blood pressure.
- A study conducted out of England discovered that people who took garlic during a cold or flu, had their symptoms reduced by 70%!
From her own previous experience of eating disorders, Melanie wants to change the relationship we have with our bodies and help nourish the community one avocado at a time. You can find Melanie at orendayogaandnutrition.com or follow her at instagram/melaniejaynebeech
