This is how you prepare the "immunity cubes" that keep your health/TikTok/@moribyan
You too must have come up with the idea of ingesting anything that can help your immune system while you are sick - and it turns out that there are many who do this even when they are not.
In fact, more and more people have started making frozen "immunity cubes" rich in vitamins and nutrients designed to strengthen the immune system.
While experts warn of the continuation of triplademia - the surge in cases of RSV, flu and corona - the hashtag #ImmunityCubes has already gained more than 4.6 billion views on TikTok.
These are food cubes made of nutritious ingredients that are mixed together and frozen to be available to add to hot water, tea or smoothies to provide a boost of vitamins.
"Certain foods are rich in nutrients and they can definitely help and support your immune system," Dr. Natasha Bhoyan of One Medical told The Post.
Although the recipe for the immunity cubes varies slightly from person to person, it usually contains some combination of orange , lemon, ginger, carrot, turmeric, raw honey, black pepper, coconut milk, coconut water and plain water. "They're sweet, they're sour, they're creamy and they're full of ingredients to help keep your immune system in tip-top shape, All winter," wrote attorney and cookbook author Nicole K. Modik, known online as Kyle Jankey, on her blog. "Not only are they delicious and nutritious, they are so simple and easy to mix," Modik added, "this is the ultimate recipe for a lazy girl." .

Do they really produce immunity?
The answer is - yes, but not absolute immunity.
The lemon is loaded with antioxidants, fiber and an excellent source of vitamin C, which can help strengthen general immunity.
Carrots are loaded with vitamin A and beta-carotene, along with other nutrients found to provide a long list of benefits, including helping to balance blood sugar and boosting brain health.
Combined together, turmeric and black pepper provide an extra boost, as black pepper allows your body to better absorb the bright orange herb for its full anti-inflammatory effects.
Ginger helps relieve stress and digestive problems, thanks to gingerol, a natural compound in fresh ginger.
Squeezing a little sweet, sticky honey into the blender not only adds flavor but also adds an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial agent.
Oranges are known to be an excellent source of vitamin C and help strengthen our immune system to fight off any disease.
Finish with coconut milk that provides antioxidant protection against disease and antimicrobial protection from infection, while coconut water adds a splash of flavor and even more vitamin C.

However, Dr. Bhuyan emphasized that "as with anything we eat, it's best not to overdo it." Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing, in other words. Overdosing on certain nutrients can throw your body out of balance. For example, taking Too much vitamin C can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms that the immunity cubes are designed to ward off.
The expert also added that these cubes should not be relied on as providing immunity from disease, despite oil. "The use of these immunity cubes should be done along with a general healthy diet, plenty of sleep, Keeping active and managing stress," mentioned Dr. Bhuyan.
