The most important benefit of these vitamin drinks is their naturalness, because you prepare them yourself. If you regularly use such decoctions, infusions and mixtures, you will have absolutely no need to use dietary supplements to boost immunity and activate vital processes in the body.

Vitamin drinks: recipes

Vitamin drinks are easy to prepare at home

• natural apple cider vinegar – 2 teaspoons;
• fresh honey – 2 teaspoons;
• peppermint decoction – 1 tablespoon.

Mix the ingredients and dilute in a glass of warm water. It is not for nothing that this simple mixture is considered a vitamin drink, because it contains a wide range of important minerals. Optimal benefits for the body can be obtained by drinking one or two glasses of this mixture a day before meals.

Infusion: pour 20 g of licorice rhizomes with a cup of boiling water, leave for an hour and a half. The infusion should be drunk warm, 50-100 ml 4-5 times a day before meals.

Good afternoon, friends, after publishing a recipe for making a healing balm with cognac, which contains honey, lemons and eggs, I received a lot of feedback from my readers. This recipe for homemade medicine has long been prepared in our family as an excellent remedy for increasing immunity, strengthening the entire body in order to protect it from colds, flu, and acute respiratory viral infections. The tincture is truly healing, has a wide range of positive effects, as it helps with bronchitis, pneumonia, for faster healing of bones during fractures, and is an excellent preventative against osteoporosis. For those who are interested in a recipe for homemade cognac medicine, you can read.

The problem of frequent colds among people in modern life is not a rare occurrence. Stress, chronic lack of sleep, weakened immunity undermine the body's strength, making it less resistant to viruses and infections. And although this recipe for a folk remedy is very effective, it has two disadvantages that not all people will be able to prepare it. The first is the alcohol base - cognac. And although cognac in small doses is beneficial for the body, some people have absolute contraindications to taking alcohol-based drugs. And the second minus is that the products included in the composition, although very useful, are not very cheap.
Therefore, today I want to bring to your attention other recipes - these are delicious and healthy drinks that boost immunity: aromatic vitamin teas and three types of homemade citrus lemonade.

Vitamin drinks to boost immunity

Vitamin drinks and will help keep the immune system in good condition, as well as cope with the first signs of illness. Scientists have found that a weakened immune system is caused by a lack of three main vitamins: C, A and E. Simple recipes that contain natural products containing these antioxidants in large quantities will help you replenish them. These are fruits, especially citrus fruits, honey, rose hips, as well as some medicinal herbs and plants.

Vitamin drinks that boost immunity are useful to drink both for preventive purposes to strengthen the entire body, and to fight an incipient cold. After all, if you take action in time and start treating yourself with home remedies, the disease can recede.

Important! Since many medicinal drinks contain honey and lemon, they should not be added immediately, but only when the infusion becomes warm, otherwise the beneficial properties will disappear from the hot temperature.

Drink for immunity from rose hips

I drank rose hip tea and it gave me more energy and strength! Surely you have heard this saying more than once. It’s not for nothing that rosehip infusion opens the list of healthy vitamin drinks. Rosehip always occupies a leading position in the content of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), it contains ten times more than blackcurrant berries, and 50 times more than lemon! But rose hips are also ahead of other important vitamins: carrots, sea buckthorn and apricots! Therefore, a drink made from rose hips is very useful, it improves performance, saturates the body with vitamin C and can even relieve headaches. If you start drinking it regularly, you will already feel an improvement in your overall health at the very beginning of the course.
It is best to brew rose hips in a thermos; it is convenient to do this in the evening. Moreover, you can use not only its fruits, but also its leaves, as well as young shoots. To make the drink more saturated, it is better to crush the dry fruits. By the way, this will also reduce the infusion time in the thermos. You can drink rosehip tea throughout the day without any restrictions; if you wish, you can add a spoonful of honey or raspberry jam to it. Juices from berries or fruits will also be a good addition. You can throw a handful of any frozen berries into the thermos where the rose hips are brewed, this will fortify the drink even more.

All three lemonades are a real vitamin bomb that will help fight seasonal depression and colds; they perfectly tone the entire body, charging you with energy for the whole day. But there is one condition: they should be drunk only after you have had breakfast, not on an empty stomach. Or in between meals, preferably in the first half of the day.
For those who are especially careful about their figure, instead of granulated sugar, you can sweeten the lemonade with honey or fructose. All drinks that we will prepare according to three recipes should subsequently be stored in the refrigerator. You can warm it up slightly before use.

How to prepare a vitamin drink from rose hips

A vitamin drink made from rosehip is very popular due to its huge number of medicinal properties and is considered an indispensable remedy for strengthening the immune system during periods of exacerbation of colds. In terms of vitamin C content, rosehip is considered a champion. Just 3 - 4 rose hips can provide the daily requirement of vitamin C for an adult. By the way, 100 grams of berries contain from 0.5 to 4.5 grams of vitamin C. For comparison: this is 10 times more than black currants, 50 times more than lemons and 100 times more than apples. Rose hips also contain microelements necessary for the normal functioning of the human body; in terms of concentration of useful substances, rose hips are several times higher than other known medicinal berries and fruits.

What are the benefits of rosehip drink, how to prepare it

A variety of rosehip drinks are distinguished by their delicate taste and abundance of beneficial properties.

Rosehip, and in particular a decoction from it, has a chemical composition that provides maximum benefit to the body. The drink is filled with many vitamins such as P, C, K, B, E, and elements (silicon, iron, antioxidants, phosphorus, copper, amino acids).

All these components can not only maintain immunity at a sufficient level, but also significantly improve mood. Even lemons and currants are inferior to rosehip drinks in the concentration of ascorbic acid.

In addition, such a unique remedy for improving health will not cause any harm to the figure, because 100 g of rosehip drink can contain from 2 to 50 kcal. This amplitude is justified by the fact that the number of fruits used in preparation may be different.

Beneficial features

First of all, rosehip decoctions significantly help a person strengthen the immune system, which is very important during the period of colds. Such drinking also provides invaluable benefits during pregnancy. During this wonderful period, the female body becomes very weak and depleted, and all processes related to bearing a child are normalized thanks to the use of rosehip decoction.

People suffering from diseases of the cardiovascular system will benefit most from a decoction or infusion of wild rose fruits. They help strengthen the walls of blood vessels and capillaries, reducing the possibility of developing atherosclerosis.

The period of spread of respiratory diseases is another reason to drink this sour drink. Many doctors prescribe the use of this decoction to patients suffering from low immunity. This infusion also promotes a speedy recovery for those who have already fallen victim to colds.

Rosehip compotes and decoctions are also useful for those who suffer from anemia and anemia. These berries normalize the process of red blood cell formation.

The immense storehouse of vitamins in such a drink will be a real boon during the prevention of vitamin deficiency. The lack of vitamins can be easily compensated by eating rosehip compotes.

Contraindications and harm

Alas, along with the benefits, infusions from these berries can also cause harm. People suffering from circulatory diseases should definitely consult their doctors before consuming such drinks. Thrombosis, thrombophlebitis and endocarditis are unshakable reasons for refusing to take rosehip decoctions.

An infusion enriched with vitamin C can have a negative effect on a person who suffers from gastritis, stomach ulcers or high acidity. Hypervitaminosis is another reason to exclude rosehip drinks from your diet.

Excessive enthusiasm for drinking rose hips threatens the failure of the liver and other organs. It is also prohibited for those who suffer from allergic reactions to drink drinks made from these fruits. Diabetics should exclude the addition of various sugar syrups when preparing decoctions and compotes.

The benefits and harms of vitamin drinks

In order for all organs to work correctly, a person is cheerful and energetic, he needs vitamins and nutrients in sufficient quantities. You can get them with proper nutrition or with the help of special supplements. Drinks to boost immunity replenish missing vitamins in the body without harming the wallet.

1. increase the body's resistance to viruses and colds;
2. improve appetite;
3. strengthen teeth, nails and hair;
4. improve the appearance of the skin;
5. fill the body with energy and increase performance.

These properties are especially important in late autumn, winter and spring, when there are few natural vitamins in food.

However, when making vitamin drinks, it is important not to overdo it, so that natural medicines do not turn out to be harmful. Some components, although they have many benefits, are contraindicated in certain diseases, Therefore, you should not mindlessly get carried away with this or that product without knowing its properties.

The main contraindications of drinks for immunity are:

1. Allergy to a certain product. Symptoms such as stomach problems, itching, sneezing, and watery eyes should alert you. In this case, it is better to avoid the allergen and consult a doctor.
2. Overdose of any vitamin. If the body has enough of a certain vitamin or substance, then taking it in large doses can lead to an overdose.
3. In addition, substances tend to accumulate in the body, which can also negatively affect health over time. Therefore, when consuming vitamin drinks, it is advisable to alternate their components and not get carried away with the same composition for a long time. Signs of hypervitaminosis are varied: headaches, nausea, drowsiness, peeling skin, rash, high blood pressure.
4. Not all products are healthy for pregnant women and young children. So, you need to take ginseng, ginger, and cranberries with caution.

Cranberry juice

Cranberries are good for reducing fever, removing toxins after illness and, due to their high content of vitamins, strengthening the immune system.

Cranberry juices are beneficial for both adults and children over 3 years old.

Important! The benefits of this berry are lost when boiled, so before preparing fruit juice, the berries need to be squeezed out.

Classic fruit drink:

1. Squeeze the juice out of a glass of cranberries through cheesecloth or a very fine sieve;
2. boil a liter of water and cool until warm;
3. add squeezed juice and sweetener (sugar, honey);
4. Wrap the container with the fruit drink in a towel and leave to cool and infuse for a couple of hours.

Cranberry juice for the lazy:

1. grind a kilogram of cranberries with 700 grams of sugar in a blender or pass through a meat grinder;
2. Store the resulting semi-finished product in the refrigerator; if necessary, dilute the required amount with boiled water or tea.

Rose hip decoction

Rose hips are beneficial for the immune system, primarily because of vitamin C, which these fruits contain 40 times more than lemons. Therefore, like cranberries, rose hips should not be boiled. This fragile vitamin cannot withstand temperatures above 80º and loses its benefits.

To prepare the decoction, it is necessary to carefully select the berries; they must be dry, but not overdried (not crumble), without gray coating and excess debris.

Berries for decoction are stored in a well-ventilated dark place.

To prepare the decoction you need:

1. Take 4 large spoons of rose hips per liter of water.
2. Boil water and cool slightly.
3. Add rose hips.
4. The container with the decoction must be well wrapped and left to cool and steam very slowly for at least 3 hours.
5. Strain the resulting broth.

The decoction can be stored in the refrigerator for about three days.

Immune drinks for children

From the moment babies are weaned from the breast or when bottle-fed, it is very important to increase children’s immunity, since mother’s milk ceases to protect the child’s body. At the same time, at this age there is a high probability of allergic reactions, so it is better to introduce even the most healthy foods in small quantities.

Also, you should not give pure squeezed juices; it is better to dilute them in the form of fruit drinks. Ginger, honey, lingonberries, cranberries, raspberries - they should not be given at an early age. Such products should appear in the diet of children after 3 years.

But viburnum berries, on the contrary, are very healthy and have hypoallergenic properties. Children from six months of age can be given non-strong drinks to boost immunity - compotes and fruit drinks, but after a year, juices, mousses, jelly and the berries themselves diluted with water.

Nature gives people access to natural reserves of all necessary substances. The main thing is to be able to use them correctly and in moderation, then health, strength and beauty will remain for many years.
