Feed a cold?

I have a wicked upper respiratory infection that is hanging on and dragging me down.  Yesterday, I fixed myself a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup for breakfast and it was so very comforting but not very good for me.  I also had a few medicinal lemon Italian ices.

What do eat that is healthy and sleeve friendly when you are sick?

I drink a lot of chicken broth when I'm not feeling well! The garlic certainly doesn't hurt, it tastes good, and it feels good on a sore throat too.  Sugar-free popsicles are great, too, lower in sugar than Italian ice (if you can't find SF versions).

One of my favorite things, though, is to get a bottle of eucalyptus essential oil and sprinkle some of it in the bottom of the bathtub, then run a hot shower. The steam works into your lungs and feels REALLY good!

Great suggestion about using eucalyptus oil I'm going to try that next time I'm in need

If you want to make sugar free italian ice, freeze crystal light lemonade into cubes, toss in a blender to whir.  Not quite the same, but pretty close :)

Honestly, I have never found anything that works better than generic sudafed for respirtory congestion.  That plus mucinex makes me a functional human being.  The NyQuil and other crap never works.  Aleve Cold and Sinus is worth its weight in gold.

I actually buy light juices when I'm sick so I don't get derailed by a case of The Lazies.  I also will make beef stew without grains or noodles and puree it, then eat it with a dollop of full-fat greek yogurt. 

When I'm sick, nothing goes down or feels better than homemade chicken soup with veggies & shredded chicken. Second to that is green tea (regular or decaf) with a shot of Torani sf peppermint syrup. Feel better!
