Ginger
Renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger is a natural remedy for reducing inflammation potentially alleviating sore throats and inflammatory conditions. Its bioactive compound, gingerol, contributes to these therapeutic effects, making ginger a popular choice for easing nausea and aiding digestion.
A few ongoing studies suggest ginger’s potential role in reducing chronic pain and its cholesterol-lowering properties, indicating its broader health benefits beyond immune support. [3]
Spinach
Spinach’s high vitamin C content and copious antioxidants, notably beta-carotene, amplify its immune-boosting capabilities. Consuming spinach in its minimally cooked form retains its nutritional potency, ensuring the body effectively absorbs essential vitamins and nutrients, such as vitamin A.
The release of nutrients from light cooking reduces oxalic acid, an antinutrient, thereby enhancing the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals, supporting immune function and overall health.
