Fresh juices are a great way to boost your immunesystem.

According to Scott Tashie, owner of City Silo Table + Pantry and I Love Juice Bars in Memphis, the best juices to build immunity are orange, carrot and apple.

The antioxidants in apples help to protect your cells from the free radicals floating around, while carrots provide beta-carotene, another great antioxidant. Oranges are an excellent source of Vitamin C, something very vital when fighting off an illness.

During times like this, Tashie focuses on keeping his Vitamin C in check as well as getting the appropriate greens into his diet. Add in some pineapple with kale, spinach, parsley, celery, mint, lemon and ginger and you are good to go, he said.

Tashie offered these tips for juicing at home:

Dont be afraid to experiment.Sometimes the best juices happen when you arent trying at all, and they come out fantastic.

Not all fruits will juice the same flavors every time. Be prepared to tweak your recipe from time to time.

Juice more than one juice at a time. That way you can have enough for the whole day and maybe the following day. Be careful to store properly because it is not pasteurized.

Dont get discourage by the cleanup. Its part of it.
