The Quickest Way to Boost Your Immune System

If you are looking for the quickest way to boost your immune system look no further. Your immune system can be boosted with a single freshly blended fruit and vegetable smoothie each day. When you blend your fruits and vegetables instead of drinking just fruit juice or eating a handful of vegetables, your body can absorb many more nutrients. We all know that there are certain vitamins that are great for our immune system, like vitamin C, but eating an orange is always messy and most people don’t eat the healthiest part of the fruit: the white part. Now you can blend the entire orange into a smoothie each morning and naturally boost your immune system by giving it a huge boost of vitamins.

Almost everyone remembers at point in their childhood where their plate was loaded with vegetables they did not want to eat and no dessert came until the vegetables were gone. This was especially true for the dark green vegetables. Of course, our parents weren’t wrong in forcing us to each our vegetables. Dark green vegetables are rich in antioxidants and have a number of great phytochemicals such as vitamin C. This means that blending these dark leafy greens into a raw smoothie each morning is one of the fastest and healthiest ways to boost your immune system. There are five dark green vegetables that you should include in your raw smoothies because of the great health benefits they have: broccoli, kale, romaine lettuce, spinach, and Swiss chard.

The reason you should include them in your smoothies is because most of them actually lose most of their nutrients when you cook them. Blending them breaks them down in a natural way that aids your digestive system and allows you access to all of the nutrients.

Broccoli actually has as much vitamin C as an orange. Not only that but it meets your daily fiber needs. 

Broccoli can reduce your risk of heart disease, boost your immune system, and help restore your skin if it has been damaged by the sun. This makes it a great addition to your smoothies during the spring and summer months. Broccoli also promotes bone growth because of the large amount of calcium it contains.

Kale is a bitter leafy green which has potassium, folic acid, and more. It is the perfect addition to your smoothie if you suffer from poor skin health, hair health, or nail health. The potassium in kale will help breakdown lactic acid in your muscles after a workout which is great in the prevention of muscle soreness.

Swiss chard is rich in calcium too, vitamin C, and vitamin K. Vitamin K is good for eye and brain function. 

So if you are going to work where you stare at a computer screen or read an endless amount of papers, 

Swiss chard is the perfect addition to your morning smoothie because it will bring your brain and eyes the nutrients you need.
