8 Immunity-boosting morning drinks to add to the daily regime
How you begin your day can define the fate of your health and well-being. While most people begin their day with a hearty cup of tea or coffee, experts believe that adding caffeine to the morning regime may have several ill effects on health and may lead to a dip in energy levels and cause dehydration after some time. Interestingly, there are several simple spice and herb-based drinks that can naturally help in improving your metabolic health and immunity and also replenish the body's lost nutrients. Read on and try out these simple drinks for your daily diet.
Lemon Water
Begin your day with this classic morning drink by simply squeezing half a lemon into a glass of warm water along with a dash of black pepper and rock salt to boost its efficacy. This drink not only hydrates you but also aids digestion. Lemon water is rich in vitamin C, which is known for its immune-boosting properties.
Turmeric Milk
Turmeric Milk also known as golden milk, this drink combines turmeric, a powerful anti-inflammatory spice, with warm milk dairy or plant-based. Turmeric contains curcumin, which boosts the immune system and helps combat infections. Add a pinch of black pepper to enhance absorption.

Ginger Tea
Ginger is renowned for its medicinal properties. Brewing ginger tea can help fight infections and reduce inflammation. Simply boil fresh ginger slices in water, strain, and add honey or lemon for flavor. This drink is particularly soothing during the cold and flu season.
Green Smoothie
A blend of leafy greens like spinach or kale, fruits, and a source of healthy fat like avocado or nut butter makes a nutrient-packed smoothie. Adding ingredients like chia seeds or flaxseeds can provide additional omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for immune health.
Beetroot Juice
Rich in antioxidants, beetroot juice can help improve blood flow and reduce inflammation. Blend raw beets with a bit of lemon juice and water for a refreshing drink. Its vibrant color and earthy flavor make it a great addition to your morning routine.
