As per Ayurveda, it is said that the spicy ginger juice packs a great nutritional punch with the presence of Vitamin A and C which are said to treat and prevent skin issues by purifying the blood.

Garlic is a superfood that boosts your immunity immediately, remarked Khanna. “Different compounds in garlic are thought to reduce the risk for cardiovascular diseases, have anti-tumor and anti-microbial effects, and show benefit on high blood glucose concentration.
