Here is a one of my favorite drinks for winter! These ginger turmeric wellness shots are soo effective in boosting the immune system during the cold & flu season! They are packed with anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties making them perfect reducing inflammation and flu symptoms.

What Are Wellness Shots?

Wellness shots are small, concentrated drinks, usually 1–2 ounces that are made from a mixture of nutrient-rich ingredients like fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, and extracts.

They help provide a quick dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for optimal health, boosting the immune system, aiding digestion, and increasing energy levels.

Ginger Turmeric Wellness Shots Benefits

Turmeric –  contains curcumin which research shows can significantly reduce inflammation in the body. Curcumin targets inflammation conditions like arthritis, joint pain, colitis, allergies, and infections.

Lemon – helps boost the immune system and prevent cell damage and oxidative stress. It’s also a great source of vitamin C and potassium. Adding fresh lemon juice to your wellness shots will also help improve your skin quality and boost collagen production.

Ginger – contains 2 powerful compounds called 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol. Both work by stopping the production of inflammatory compounds and blocking key inflammatory pathways in the body. Ginger also helps with digestion, nausea, and boosts the immune system.

Black pepper – contains a compound called Piperine which helps the body absorb curcumin from the turmeric by 2000%. Without adding black pepper to your turmeric recipes, your body will absorb very little curcumin.

Olive Oil – is usually added to wellness shots because it contains healthy fats that help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. It also contains a polyphenols and anti-inflammatory compounds as well.
