When anyone in the family is sick with a cold or flu this is our go to drink.  Last week the hubby and I came down with a terrible flu and we lived on these tonics for 3 days.

Turmeric helps to reduce the severity of bacterial and viral infections so great for cold and flus.  It also combats inflammatory disease and acts as a great energy booster.

Ginger helps to fight infections and combats inflammatory disease.

Lemon and Orange are high in vitamin C

Coconut Water is a natural isotonic drink that provides many of the same benefits as formulated sports drinks, including the electrolytes calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium, but in their natural form.
