Enzymes that help the body fight disease cannot work well in cold weather. As a result, the immune system of the body becomes weak. The magic of activating the immune system is hidden in winter vegetables and fruits.
To Increase immunity in winter

In cold weather, many people reduce their water intake as they get less thirst. But at this time, the humidity of the air decreases, so the skin becomes dry. So you should drink at least two to three liters of water every day.
- Along with water, you can drink orange, malta, papaya, or any fresh fruit juice in hot water. If you want to lose weight, skip the extra sugar in the juice. Honey, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, Nigella sativa, cloves, cinnamon, pepper, etc. help to keep the body warm.
