Turmeric and ginger are two great natural ingredients that help strengthen the immune system and protect the body from infection in winter.

Why do turmeric and ginger help boost immunity?

Turmeric and ginger are known for their powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound with effective anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant effects. According to a study published in the Journal of phanodological Sciences, curcumin helps enhance the activity of T cells, B cells, and natural causes of death, all of which are essential components of the immune system. It also reduces inflammatory cytokine production, which is important when dealing with viral infections such as flu or COVID-19.

Ginger contains gingerol, a bioactive compound that has a strong effect in fighting infections, especially respiratory infections in winter. Research from the International Journal of medicinal plant research shows that ginger has strong antibacterial properties, helping to prevent colds, coughs and viral diseases.
