How to Fight the Flu with Pineapple Juice (WIKI HOW)

Views:

When flu season hits you want to take traditional preventative measures such as strict hand washing and possibly getting a flu shot, but also some natural approaches that can help you to feel better quicker. Create a cold and flu potion with fresh pineapple juice to flood your body with vitamin C but also to reduce the amount of acidity on the stomach. Sometimes orange juice can be harsh when the taste buds and body has been compromised.

Method One of Two:
Know When You Are Getting Sick

1
Determine if you’ve been tired lately due to lack of sleep or if you are feeling more rundown.
2
Take your temperature. Sometimes low grade fevers go unnoticed because they can sometimes start before the rest of your flu symptoms (such as aches and pains).
3
Check the pollen report. Is it allergies or a cold? These two can be hard to distinguish, but the local weather report can give you insight.
4
Evaluate where it hurts. Typical signs of the flu include headache, neck and back pains, shoulder strain and facial pain (sinus problems).

EditMethod Two of Two:
Create Your Drink Early In Your Illness

1
Pick up supplies for your pineapple drink in addition to any over the counter cold and flu remedies. Early intervention is key to reducing symptoms and feeling better.
2
Hit the grocery store for your drink ingredients. You will need:
- 6 fresh lemons
- 1 bulb of fresh garlic
- Ginger powder
- Honey
- Pineapple juice
- Cayenne pepper
3
Grab a martini shaker (or electric blender), measuring cups and spoons. You can just combine the ingredients in a tall glass but in order to fully blend and integrate ingredients going for a shaker or blender works best.
4
Combine the juice of 6 fresh lemons with 1 clove of minced garlic, 2 tsp. ginger powder, 2 tbsp. honey, 3 cups pineapple juice and ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper.
5
Drink approximately 1 cup of the mixture four times daily until symptoms ease.
