Body boosters

Kick-start your immune system back into action with some beta carotene fresh foods known for their powerful immune boosting properties. Eat them either raw, in a salad, cooked, mashed, on the side or in a broth.

Beta Carotene Beauties are carrots, lettuce, pumpkin, sweet potato, kale, spinach, peppers, hot chillies, mustard greens and Chinese cabbage.

Say goodbye to that nas-tea cold!

Some say a cup of tea cures everything, and those old wives tales may be true. White and green tea have the highest amount of antioxidants but all tea is good for colds because they contain ‘theophllines’ that open the airways. Peppermint tea is extra special if you’re not well as it eases a sore throat, clears sinuses and congestion while settling your tummy too.

These natural flu remedies are available at the Market including Sam’s Spice & Grocery.
