I'm a bit under the weather and I'm trying to figure out what I should and shouldn't eat.

So can you give me 3 foods I can eat and 3 foods I should stay away from (symptoms are sore throat, coughing, runny nose and sneezing, no fever)

Something warming and/or spicy. Also warm milk with honey is delicious and soothing

Believe it or not I think the trick to treating illness isn’t with certain foods but with just plenty of calories. So don’t limit yourself. Eat hard, hydrate hard, sleep hard

A bit traditional in that respect so I suggest a little chicken soup. I also like ice cream when not too good Hope you feel better

Yea I'm not bothered with calories right now. I'm thinking either chicken corn soup, with some chicken noodles and rice or a chicken kebab with a chicken wrap

What about those options?

Okay. Chicken soup...home made, slippery elm ( a bit like complan) and cereal.( Porridge)

Avoid stodgy foods, fried and cheese.

Yes!!! That’s exactly what I do. Order the hottest curry on the menu.

Not recommended with tonsillitis

Are those options calorie full? Enjoyable?

I only say it because a lot of people suggest food I don’t really like or don’t have, which makes it hard to fuel up on.

When I’m Ill I buy the same thing

2L chocolate milk

2L orange juice

A large tub of ice cream

Cookies

A couple pizzas

And that’s per day. I fuel my body with food I like to fight the good fight

Fareham

Make a chicken broth which is thinner than usual chicken soup thickened with flour etc.

Buy chicken stock liquid, add carrot slices and seasoning. As carrots soften add chicken pieces and cook through then add a few noodles.

Also drink green tea and an occasional hot milk with a drop of spirit of your choice.’

Eat brown bread and spread.

Relax and recover.

Avoid, too much dairy, desserts and anything too bloatty.

Oh and yes eat plenty of oranges and apples for. Vitamin C.

Yes! I grew up in a multi ethnic household so was always given super spicy foods for sore throat or blocked nose. It definitely works

For a sore throat you're meant to eat crisps and hard toast to remove the infections.

Other than that I’d go with drinking hot lemon, ginger and honey and graze continually on fruit

3 foods to eat :

Ginger

Honey

Scrambled eggs (vit d and iron and light on stomach if it’s feeling delicate)

3 to avoid :

Milk based products (it doesn’t create phlegm but it thickens it up making it hard to expel)

Caffeine

Scratchy foods (hard on the sore throat)

Hope you’re feeling much better soon

Non food tips -

Plenty of sleep

Eucalyptus oil (thins and expels the phlegm)

Chloraseptic (better than difflam in my opinion)
