To prepare this drink, you only need 3 ingredients and 2 minutes of your time. It works anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and will give you energy so that your immune system can fight off any virus. When a test was conducted years ago in Sweden, it was found that more than half of those who regularly drank this juice did not get a cold or flu even once. Winter illnesses are much easier to prevent than to cure. Because once your immune system is compromised, it is much harder to recover and you risk catching a cold again in a month.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 small head of red cabbage
  
• 1 fresh red beet
  
• 4 oranges
  
• 2 cups water

Preparation:

Peel the oranges and red beet, add a cup of water if needed, and blend well in a blender to get a smooth mixture. Chop the cabbage into small pieces and slowly add it into the mixture. Finally, add the remaining water and blend well.

If you drink the juice preventively, it’s enough to have one glass in the morning. If you already feel a scratch in your throat or a cold has already caught you, drink two to three glasses a day. However, on the first day, drink only one glass to see how it affects you.

Red beet is considered a natural diuretic and has a mild laxative effect. It cleanses the kidneys, blood, and liver, so do not overdo it.

Together with oranges and red cabbage, which also have a cleansing effect on the body, this is certainly the healthiest drink of this winter. Besides a remarkable amount of vitamin C, it contains a lot of antioxidants, which, in this combination, also chase away melancholy.
