I've got a horrible cold/flu and am looking for some food to make me feel a little better. What are some of your favorite things to eat when you're ill?

I don't whether or not you like spicy foods but I try to add pepper to chicken noodle soup. The hot fluids are good for you and the pepper will help to open your sinuses and break up mucus in you chest.

Lots of fluids...water, juice, hot tea. I also like broth soup with lots of garlic in it. Garlic has anti-viral properties and helps boost the immune system. Spicy veggie stir fry with garlic is another one I like.

I think homemade chicken noodle soup is the best thing for a cold or flu. It's been proven that it helps you heal faster! Hope this helps!

Citrus fruits is the best diet one can have during cold and flu. All the citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C, which helps in curing cold. Also the sour taste of citrus fruits will tingle your bland tongue. Citrus fruits will help during cold... try them and tell me...
