Immunity is about more than downing a glass of orange juice every day. There are a variety of vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients found in food that help your body feel in tip-top shape and aid recovery if you do find yourself taking a sick day.

When you’re sick, it’s so important to stay hydrated. And if you’re looking to sip on something that keeps your immune system running well, we’ve got you covered.

This combo of beets, carrots, and apples can help build a healthy immune system. Beets get their beautiful color from a natural plant compound called betalain, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties — both of which help protect the body. Carrots are an excellent source of beta-carotene which is an antioxidant that helps protect your cells from damage.
