Did you know?<br />
* Collagen is a protein that our body<br />
uses to heal and repair itself. As we age,<br />
we need additional collagen added to<br />
our diets to help prevent (or minimise)<br />
our aches and pains, as well as slow<br />
the thinning of our skin and hair. It’s so<br />
simple to add collagen to your diet, and<br />
you’ll feel an improvement in just two<br />
to three weeks. Best of all, it’s a natura.l<br />
solution and a great supplement<br />
* Probiotics, found in yoghurt and other<br />
fermented products, may ease the<br />
severity of colds. Look for labels that say<br />
‘live and active cultures’. Also, look for<br />
added vitamin D.<br />
* You’ll find lots of nutrients in spinach.<br />
One of them is folate, which helps your<br />
body make new cells and repair DNA.<br />
It also boasts fibre, antioxidants such as<br />
vitamin C, and more.<br />
* Pomegranate juice may help your<br />
body fight bacteria and several kinds of<br />
viruses, including the flu.<br />
* Consuming turmeric may improve<br />
your immune response. This is due to<br />
the qualities of curcumin, a compound<br />
in turmeric.<br />
* Honey is rich in antioxidants and is<br />
often used to soothe sore throats. It<br />
adds natural sweetness to the drink.<br />
* Lemon juice is very high in vitamin<br />
C and can help support heart and<br />
digestive health.<br />
* Orange juice is naturally high in<br />
vitamin C, folate and potassium, as well<br />
as being a great source of antioxidants.<br />
* Ginger has a very long history of use<br />
in traditional and alternative medicine.<br />
It’s been used to help digestion, reduce<br />
nausea and help fight the common<br />
cold and other illnesses, among other<br />
benefits. Details: www.harvesttable.co.za<br />
