Cold and flu season peaks between December and February. This means that the month of January is crucial for finding ways to keep germs at bay. One of the best ways to keep from getting sick is to boost the immune system. Sure, it’s a good idea to get the flu shot and practice good handwashing. But if you want a delicious way to keep sickness away, drink some fresh-squeezed juice.
