JAKARTA, JAMBI-INDEPENDENT.CO.ID – Having the flu makes the body uncomfortable during activities. It takes food that provides energy during the healing process, when someone has a cold.
Confused about what foods can help recover from the flu?
Here’s the right food menu when you have a cold to speed up recovery, as reported by Healthline.
1. Garlic
Eating raw garlic can help boost immunity. You can do it when the initial symptoms of the flu begin to appear.
2. Fruits that contain vitamin C.
Vitamin C is a nutrient needed to strengthen the immune system. Apart from supplements, you can get them from fruits. Strawberries, tomatoes, and oranges are some of them.
3. Broth
Whether it’s chicken, beef, or vegetable stock, broth is one of the best foods to eat when you have a cold. You can eat them as soon as your symptoms start, until you are fully recovered.
Why broth is recommended for colds, because broth helps prevent dehydration. The warm sensation you get from eating the broth helps relieve sore throats and stuffy noses.
4. Chicken soup
This chicken soup is more complete than just broth, because there are additional ingredients in it. Chicken chunks in soup will provide your body with iron and protein.
Carrots, celery and spices that you use in chicken soup, will provide the nutrients your body needs. Just like broth, chicken soup is suitable to eat until you are fully recovered. Make sure not to use too much salt in it.
5. Oatmeal
When people are sick, a warm bowl of oatmeal is one of the right options to eat. There is vitamin E which is good for boosting the immune system, as well as antioxidant polyphenols and beta-glucan fiber which also strengthens your immune system. (*/tav)
