Whip yourself up a zingy immunity boosting shot to help fend off winter colds and illnesses. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities found in ginger and turmeric help to lessen cold and arthritic symptoms. Lemon and oranges are loaded with vitamin C and aid in detoxification and pH alkalinization of the body. Hempseed oil is rich in healthy omegas and GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid that helps to reduce inflammation.
