This beverage is ideal for the winter as it is packed with nutritious elements including vitamin C, vitamin A and thiamine. Rich in antioxidants, it wards off the flus of the winter and defends your immune system from viruses and bacteria. This also includes a protection against Covid-19. This beverage is good for gut health as it contains a high amount of fibre and anti-inflammatory compounds which are gut-friendly. In particular, turmeric is an ingredient that fosters gut health. Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it heals gut inflammation and contributes to a healthy digestion. This spice is also used as medicinal herb to tackle gastrointestinal, dermatological and neurological disorders. You can add it to your tea or coffee and also to your food. Try it with curry (e.g. curry lentils) and it will not only taste delicious but it will also be beneficial for your gut. Studies have also found that consuming turmeric helps fight against cancer. However, in this case, you would need to consume a very high amount. This beverage also contains a lot of vitamin C, due to the tangerines (and in smaller amounts to the carrots) that contribute to improving the immune system and warding off colds. They contain citrus phytochemicals that protect against heart disease and cancer; and a lot of vitamin A, given by the carrots which induce healthy eyesight, healthy skin and a healthy immune system. Due to the high vitamin A content, carrots can sometimes be used in skin health products.
