Immunity Diet: Drink these healthy beverages for good immunity.
The link between gut and immunity is no secret. Scientists have found through research that the gut bacteria is the place where a majority of our immune system resides. It is said that a whopping 70% of the immune system is housed within the gut wall. Thus, it is absolutely essential to maintain good digestive health and a healthy gut at all times in order to reduce the body’s susceptibility to diseases. Probiotic drinks are the ultimate gut-friendly food that can help build immunity to infections and keep diseases at bay.
