Andrea’s Digestive & Immune Shot

About
This easy recipe contains lemon and apple cider vinegar to help with metabolism and digestion. It is meant to be taken with or just before a meal. Ginger helps with digestion and also helps support the immune system. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory and works best when paired with black pepper. Zinc and oregano oil supplements can be added if feeling under the weather or if there is a cold or flu going around. Be sure to follow the dosage and duration indicated on the product you choose.
For some, this combination of ingredients might be hard on the taste buds. Remember that it is just a shot – one gulp. If necessary you can add a touch of honey to help it go down easier.
