MMMMM CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP WITH CARROTS AND CELERY!!!!
Cook or buy Italian Wedding Soup...it has spinach, noodles, and little meatballs(this way its still filling), this is a great meal and one that my mom always made when i didn't feel good...Progresso sells it and its very good.
Chicken Noodle Soup has been medically proven to help break up all of the mucus and other gunk that people have in their head and chest when they are sick. Plus,it is a comfort food that isn't too heavy and it will make a person feel so much better without making them feel nauseous.
If you can introduce leafy green veg into the meal that would be high in vitamins and minerals such as Vit-c, E, B12 ans iron.
All veg is great especially slow releasing carbs like sweet potatoes, beans, lentils as it will give the ill party a long lasting boost compared to short bursts from potatoes and carrots although carrots are great vit-a carriers.
Chicken is also great for proteins but remove the skins as that holds the majority of the fat.
Fruits like kiwi and oranges for vit -c
cranberries for a kidney flush detox.
pomegranette same as above.
Good luck
home made chicken soup,lots of onions in it and pepper ,
I would suggest a combination of the following:
Pasta (carbs)
Chicken (protein)
Red Pepper (vitamin c)
You could add a little sauce of some kind, or some stock and turn it into soup. Otherwise, provide with a large glass of water. You need plenty of fluids to flush out your system.
Red pepper is actually one of the best sources of vitamin c - 1/4 of a pepper gives 100% RDA.
