Try these 3 concoctions to lose weight and boost your immunity

While kadhas and tea promise to boost your immunity and relieve stress, here are some other concoctions that will help you shed extra kilos and make you feel energetic at the same time.

2/4

​Orange turmeric smoothie

Turmeric and cinnamon are the two most popular spices that help boost our immunity. Orange is packed with vitamin C, which is one of the most important nutrients required to keep our immune system in shape.

How to make an orange turmeric yoghurt smoothie

Orange juice, mangoes, yoghurt, turmeric, walnuts, bananas and cinnamon churned in a blender, make for a yummy and healthy smoothie. Adding bananas and walnuts makes the drink protein-rich, which is the basic requirement to lose weight.

3/4

​The apple cider ginger tonic

This drink is loaded with various health benefits and can be consumed daily on an empty stomach to keep bacteria and viral diseases at bay. Apple cider vinegar stops the growth of bad pathogens and has antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.

How to make the apple cider ginger tonic

Take a cup of water and bring it to boil. Add 1/4 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon honey to it. Let the mixture boil for 2 minutes, strain the drink and let it cool down. Now add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and sip it.

The turmeric and ginger in the drink have antimicrobial, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. These increase the number of white blood cells in the body and strengthen our immune system.

4/4

​Apple, beetroot and carrot

To make this drink, take a small beetroot, one small apple, one medium-sized carrot, some mint leaves and 1 litre of water. Now blend all the ingredients with water in a mixer and your drink is ready. You can add a dash of pink salt to enhance the taste.

The apple, beetroot and carrot drink is also called ABC detox drink and is one of the healthiest concoctions to boost immunity and lose weight. The combination of the three vegetables is best for removing toxins from the body and rejuvenating it. The nutrient-dense drink also keeps your fuller for longer, thus stops one from binge eating.
