Fight Cold And Flu With Immune-Boosting Citrus

Cold and flu season is in full swing. This year, opt for a natural remedy rather than a drugstore dose.

It’s common knowledge that citrus fruits, including oranges and lemons, have cold-fighting abilities − and a natural coincidence that these fruits reach their peak season during the virus-prone winter months.

Here are some ways you can make the most of your citrus this season:

• Add fresh lemon juice to tea or water to help increase the absorption of antioxidants.

• Start your morning with hot water and lemon juice to neutralize acid in your body and stimulate the immune system to fight infections.

• Have 1/4 of a pummelo which contains over 100% of your daily vitamin C.

• Relieve a sore throat by combining lemon, honey and ginger into hot water.

Citrus are an anti-oxidizing super fruit that can help support a healthy lifestyle. Check out Sunkist.com for more ways to stand up to colds and flus.
